U.S. joins international criticism of Brunei's harsh new law that allows stoning to death for Muslims convicted of homosexual sex and adultery.

from Brunei as saying "the harshest punishments will rarely, if ever, be applied because of the extremely high standards of proof required, such as requiring four pious men to personally witness an act of fornication to support a sentence of stoning.I believe that love is love and being able to love as we choose is a basic human right.

Amal and George Clooney attend the People's Postcode Lottery Charity Gala at McEwan Hall, March 15, 2019, in Edinburgh, Scotland. Citing the anti-LGBTQ nature of the laws celebrities including George Clooney, Elton John and Ellen DeGeneres have renewed their calls for the boycott of hotels owned by the sultan. It was first called in 2014.. "I’ve learned over years of dealing with murderous regimes that you can’t shame them. But you can shame the banks, the financiers and the institutions that do business with them and choose to look the other way.

, "Tomorrow, the country of #Brunei will start stoning gay people to death. We need to do something now." Her social media posts then listed a number of high-profile hotels around the globe, including the Beverly Hills Hotel and the Hotel Bel-Air, that she said should be boycotted to protest Brunei's implementation of the law.

What does Congresswoman Omar think?

Brunei is only following the other 9 Islamic Countries that punish homosexuality with the death penalty. 3 still punish homosexuality by public lashings. The rest of the Islamic World punish homosexuality by Imprisonment. 52% of British Muslims want homosexuality to be illegal.

Brunei invokes laws allowing stoning for gay sex, adulterySINGAPORE (AP) — New Islamic criminal laws that took effect in Brunei on Wednesday, punishing gay sex and adultery by stoning offenders to death, have triggered an outcry from countries, rights groups and celebrities far beyond the tiny Southeast Asian nation's shores. Sounds like a Mike Pence utopia. Western Caucasians had same laws for centuries until they retired from ransacking 3rd world countries. When they were heartlessly plundering our resources to enrich their Economies & industries, HumanRights were not an issue. Ignore them as human waste!
