Brunei has now fully implemented sharia law, meaning people can be stoned to death for having gay sex.

Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah first introduced the sharia penal code in 2013, saying it should be seen as"special guidance" and would ensure the duty to Allah was fulfilled.

It said the laws"stipulate the death penalty for offences such as rape, adultery, sodomy, extramarital sexual relations for Muslims, robbery, and insult or defamation of the Prophet Mohammad, among others. Brunei is oil rich - and its reserves account for 90% of its GDP. Its the fourth-largest producer in southeast Asia, making about 167,000 barrels a day.

ok, so it might be backwards, but, its their country, their laws, leave them to it. if you dont like it dont go there.

JOEPUBLIC20171 Does this not mean all homosexuals are now entitled to asylum?

Their country their laws & nothing to do with the uk.

Means he willl feel right at home in the new Europe.

It means that Brunei is a backward, repressive country which tramples over HumanRights. Not a place to be a woman or gay.

It’s not just Brunei though why not highlight all countries who have the same laws?

But yes lets all focus on Brunei! piss off!

Islam is a danger to the world. Infact all religion is. Religion is for the weak minded.

🇸🇪our Swedish king visited Brunei and sad it's a wonderful country and functions very we'll! Days of kings and queens is outdated

What it 'means' is Sharia. This is what it means. This is what 'The Religion of Peace' wants to bring to Christian countries. Thank (our) God that FINALLY this barbaric religion is getting publicity for what it actually is. Barbaric and backwards. Hopefully, we'll wake up.

It's not controversial in orthodox Islamic countries.

It means the Sultan is still in the closet and overcompensating
