Revelation 6:3-4 NCV When the Lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, "Come!" Then another horse came out, a red one. Its rider was given power to take away peace (prosperity, rest) from the earth and to make people kill each other (butcher, slaughter, to maim violently, in streets), and he was given a big sword (assassins sword, terrorist, loud, mighty, sore afraid).
The Sultan of Brunei has announced the first phase of enforcement of strict Sharia law in the nation.
Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah, an absolute dictator in the nation, said that he had no choice under Islam to put the Sharia law into effect.
The first phase of the implementation will include fines and jail terms for offenses such as missing Friday prayers or an out-of-wedlock pregnancy. The second phase will include the severing of limbs if convicted of robbery or theft, and stoning to death for adultery.
The Sultan has called Islam a “firewall” against globalization.
The move is causing unrest and dissent in the country. The new law will also allow the government to give jail terms or sentences of flogging to anyone who challenges the leader or makes any comment the government feels is disparaging toward the Sultan.
Critics worldwide say the move is a move to brutality.
“It’s a huge step back for human rights in Brunei and totally out of step with the 21st century,” Phil Robertson of Human Rights Watch told The Guardian.
