Janus Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Are some countries moving backwards not forwards? Brunei has become the first East Asian nation to implement sharia law, the stringent Islamic penal code. The harsh criminal law will be implemented in three phases, with the more stringent forms of punishments such as amputation, flogging and stoning to death to be brought in gradually over a period of three years. About 70 percent of the country's 400,000-strong population is Muslim but most of the punishments under the sharia law are applicable to the non-Muslims as well. https://uk.news.yahoo.com/brunei-adopts-islamic-sharia-law-flogging-amputation-stoning-093922692.html#dAHmwNu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who wouldn't be in favour of amputating the limbs of thieving scrotes? All those in favour, raise both hands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a problem though, the people that don't want to live in the stone age will run away and seek asylum in countries that are already over populated. ---------- Post added 30-04-2014 at 19:17 ---------- let them get on with it, you cant educate these religious nutters they are not open to reason only the Koran, its not our business what another country does and we shouldnt interfere or protest. It is when we are happy to grant the population of these barbaric countries asylum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
