Brunei's new law punishing homosexual sex with death by stoning has sent a wave of fear across the LGBT population in neighboring Malaysia and Indonesia.

On April 3, the small oil-rich kingdom of Brunei introduced a strict Islamic legal code mandating death for adultery and sex between men, as well as lashes for lesbian sex and amputation for crimes like theft.It has sparked a tide of condemnation from Western nations and celebrities alike. UN High Commissioner on Human Rights Michelle Bachelet on April 1 described the laws as"draconian" and a setback for human rights.

— Kementerian Agama RI April 1, 2019 In recent years, conservative Muslim groups have become a powerful force in the region, pushing for closer adherence to the more rigid of Islamic values and intimidating national governments.In one Indonesian province, gay people have been publicly shamed and caned. A Christian governor of Jakarta was thrown in jail on blasphemy charges. And in March, Malaysia's tourism minister claimed there were no gay people in his country.

Islamic law is not Anti LGBT, its against sex outside of marriage, whether u r Straight or Gay. LGBT drama will not help but fuel its own demise in many countries. Picture Humans demanding ‘human rights’ to god against the treatment in HELL in the afterlife. Powerless & Sad.

Muslim are the Cancel of world

lsarsour

What about focussing on the plight of the Muslim Rohingyas in Burma?

IlhanMN i dont see Muslims protesting about this. Where are the libersls?

If we’re not careful that will be Minnesota next then the rest of America!

USA has 2nd amendment on the right to bear arm. argument is it can act as a deterrence to would be criminals. If Brunei thinks tht anti lgbt can act as a detterence to uphold their values who are u to judge? Unless u hv sex in public witnessed by 4, u won't see anyone stoned.

Arabic words look like knives and machetes.😰😰😰

It'll spread all way to America if the left continues to coddle Islam.

In America we have been forced to accept these weirdos.Tranny’s have more rights than anyone it’s crazy.

Sharia law No, no. Must be a mistake? Sharia is “peaceful” lsarsour 😳

Anything else going on in this country other than another reason to kill people? The notion of behaving like an 'animal' has been misstated for centuries when the term is 'cannibal.' Finding reasons to kill each other is cannibalistic.

Spread from where? The rest of the entire Islamic world? Are we pretending that this isn’t a regular Muslim law? FakeNews

ولماذا هذا الشعار في هذه المواقف !! لماذا تريدون تشويه صورة الاسلام والمسلمين لماذا كل هذا الحقد والضغينة انتم تعلمون جيدا ان الاسلام برئ من هذه القاذورات وبالرغم من ذلك تريدون التشويه !! تبا لكم

Should Sharia spread any further with all the chaos, cut limbs and begeadings it leaves in its wake?

Sharia is pure evil. Lets all pray that this horrific political agenda does not spread. 🙏

What

Destroying the souls of the LGBT won't save them from he holocaust of climate change,nor would it bring pease t the world bec leaders evil.

What? Southeast Asia? You mean in Philippines? Is group of Abu Sayyaf? I must tell my wife and tell president Duterte.

Allah many gays are not happy, how about their feelings to their partner? The King is really good because he respect you & follow you

REMINDER: the same laws already exist in Saudi Arabia (big sponsor for CNN)

Religion of peace! Damn it!

Don't quote specific to 'anti-LGBT'. Sharia Law is just a law to deter and nothing to do with discriminating any one.

Maybe.. in those Muslim countries in Southeast Asia.. but here in Philippines, never.. we're 86% Catholics and only 5.5% Muslims..

Nasty

God please. Don’t let this happen!

Islam should not be so worried about religion.

It is time to become an Islamophobe 😠

Let it spread so you understand people you want inside America.

Gosh, what might motivate such a law in Southeast Asian countries to spread I wonder? 🤨

wait what? i thought coming out against sharia law was racists

Ask Ilhan Omar and Linda Sarsour.

It’s not Brunei’s sharia law idiots cnn. It’s their national law .
