http://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/apr/30/sultan-brunei-sharia-penal-code-flogging-death-stoning"The sultan of oil-rich Brunei has announced the introduction of tough Islamic criminal punishments, pushing ahead with plans that have sparked international condemnation and rare domestic criticism of the fabulously wealthy ruler.
"With faith and gratitude to Allah the almighty, I declare that tomorrow, Thursday 1 May 2014, will see the enforcement of sharia law phase one, to be followed by the other phases," the absolute monarch said in a royal decree on Wednesday.
Plans for the sharia penalties which will eventually include flogging, severing of limbs and death by stoning triggered condemnation on social media sites in the tiny sultanate earlier this year."

(572 posts)Million dollar cars purchased new and put in the warehouse, never moved, never serviced, never started in the hot, humid tropical climate for decades. Some people who had access to the warehouse basically described the cars as scrap value after all these years. He and the elites of that tiny nation and it's people who live in a perpetual welfare state with no income tax, free housing, disneyland like play grounds, free utilities and where most work are done by foreigners will have a very nasty wake up call when the oil and gas runs in in about 2 decades.
