Do animals have this problem? A lot of the confusion is from mankind’s mental illness to understanding each other, I am for peace love and harmony, No one should ever kill another human being for any reason, Who are they to judge? Love is the answer, 🌸

Now wiser and smarter than God they claim to serve. What happened about Kashoggi's death? Nothing! Continue to pursue your worldly possessions and leave us alone to pursue and heavenly possessions too at the we will see. God is greater than all you endorsing evil

This is utter rubbish, they cannot and will not force their satanic ways of life on Brunei, the west and their hypocrisy. They claim to be Christians, is it not in the Bible to stone adulterous people, why did God destroy Sodom and Gomorrah in the Bible. They west are

DrPippaM What about the other 10 Muslim countries with this Sharia law?

What happened to the religion of peace?

UK is cutting ties. A good move but I ask why havent women's rights been given the same status? Nigeria Uganda and Pakistan all have very poor records on women's rights.

😯Dear sultan, I recognize that human rights is alternative and western thoughts in traditional muslin society. At lease, show your mercy,do not stone gay to death .If there is no choice to “punish”,please egging them to warn.

I'm not gay, if I know anyone that is, I'm unaware of it, but I do know they're just human beings, just like me. There is no good sin versus bad sin. We have a president that lies daily. 'Thy shall not bare false witness', one of the TEN COMMANDMENTS. GREED is also a sin.

Brunei is peanuts! What about Every other Muslim country in the Middle East?!?! Stonings, Lynchings,Throwing from rooftops! Homosexuals have been persecuted for thousands of years due to Radical Islamic teachings and beliefs! But$$$ has kept Corps. From all Over the world there!

Or how about 'THE STANDARD HOTEL', where LGBTQ die! Oh forget that they are all DEM Contributors and all is forgiven!!

why haven’t those companies boycotted Israel? which nation is continuously violating HUMAN RIGHTS and KILLING people like ants!!!! 😡😡😡

At least Brunei does not have to deal with Gay Day parades with their ding-dongs hanging out.

This is how you get governments to stop fucking with people take businesses away you listening Georgia Alabama money talks louder then racist sexist Republican laws

According to Islamic law, any adulterer who commits adultery -with 4 witnesses seeing the act with their eyes- will get the harsh punishment Most people sin in private & they are not punished. Islam punishes sins which are done public because it causes evil to spread in society.

uh - shouldn't they be boycotting Islam? 🤔

All governments need restrict all travel documents of Brunei officials and the ruling family. Freeze all eternal assets of all officials and the ruling family. They are wealthy in oil, a few product boycotts or lack of visitors will not make them think twice...

I don’t know exactly what he owns but I am sure I am not using any of them. Of course unless he owns Costco, Sprouts, Natural grocers or Goodwill.

That's exaggerated

It's 'gotta be Trumps fault! ...Right CNN?

Biden is a saint compared to Trump come on,Trump is a letch!

Being offended all the time sounds exhausting

I've been boycotting for decades! These celebrities are sooo obtuse.

Funny how hypocritical of those people who let Trump tell the US Army that gays are no longer welcome

So Democrats support the very religion that is doing what it's scripture says to do and yet at the same time they claim to be advocates for the LGBTQ community as well? Quite the conundrum you Dems have gotten yourselves into.

the sultan is certainly checking bar tabs every night fewer to kill lah shooters he's going broke
