Worry Not !! The GOV of Brunei has discuss and come up with the the brilliant ideas to counter the Economy crisis. That is to implement HUDUD, hopefully the god will shine upon them once more.

More like when in desperate times, religion is often used to quell dissent and give folks a false sense of superiority.

ok lets take a look at it this way. non muslims in bunei already force to stfu and cannot challenge islamic law.

there will always be reasonably minded/progressive/moderate muslims in brunei who are against the hudud and are aware of the sultan and his "pious' lifestyle. but what can they do? if they voice criticism will they be accuse as murtads/kafirs/munafiqs/hypocrites/liberal muslims/apostates etc?? unsure.gif

Thats the thing when religion becomes law. You dont get to question religious dogma.

It's not about hudud, it's about the Sultan enforcing an Islamic legal system designed to keep him in power with little recourse for the citizens to affect changes. He will never relinquish control and under their system, there is no way for him to be forced to reform.
