Brunei is simply implementing Sharia. Doesn’t Michelle Bachelet know that Saudi Arabia and Iran and other Sharia states put homosexuals to death and amputate hands for theft? Will the OIC condemn her “Islamophobia,” or bide its time, preferring to continue to fool Western leaders, who are so very eager to be fooled, into thinking that Sharia is entirely benign and compatible with Western values?

The Qur’an contains numerous condemnations of homosexual activity: “And Lot when he said to his people, ‘Do you commit such immorality as no one has preceded you with from among the worlds? Indeed, you approach men with desire, instead of women. Rather, you are a transgressing people.’…And We rained upon them a rain of stones. Then see how was the end of the criminals.” (Qur’an 7:80-84)

Muhammad specifies the punishment for this in a hadith: “The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, ‘Whoever you find doing the action of the people of Loot, execute the one who does it and the one to whom it is done.’” (Sunan Abu Dawud 4462)

And as for amputation for theft, that punishment is in the Qur’an: “The thief, the male and the female, amputate their hands in recompense for what they committed as a deterrent from Allah” (5:38)
