Hollywood Turns Against Sharia

I must say...this news is an interesting development...and maybe a really good one.

The Sultan of Brunei recently declared that his country will begin to implement Sharia law.
Ultimately this will include stoning gays and adulterers to death.

Of course this has been going on in numerous Muslim countries for centuries...but Hollywood didn't seem to really care.

What got their attention this time??  It turns out the Sultan owns the Beverly Hills Hotel...so now Hollywood is going to boycott the hotel...and that is what is making news.

After the owner of The Beverly Hills Hotel, Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah, announced the implementation of strict Sharia Law in the Southeast Asia state—including stoning homosexuals to death—celebrities and prominent organizations have decided to boycott the establishment.

In recent weeks, the Hollywood establishment has given a collective middle finger to The Beverly Hills Hotel, along with the other hotel interests in the Dorchester Collection—including London’s Dorchester, Paris’ Hotel Plaza Athénée, and the Hotel Bel-Air. The Dorchester Collection, a subsidiary of The Dorchester Group, is owned by Brunei Investment Agency (BIA), an arm of the Ministry of Finance of Brunei— which is controlled by the Sultan of Brunei, Hassanal Bolkiah. Last October, the 67-year-old dictator announced his plans to introduce Sharia law in Brunei—a strict Islamic penal code calling for penalties including flogging, the severing of limbs, and death by stoning for acts like abortion, adultery, and homosexuality. The enforcement will be introduced in three phases, from least severe (phase one: fines) to most severe (phase three: death by stoning), with the initial phase taking effect May 1. 

“Today... I place my faith in and am grateful to Allah the almighty to announce that tomorrow, Thursday 1 May 2014, will see the enforcement of Sharia law phase one, to be followed by the other phases,” the Sultan proclaimed, according to AFP. He also called Sharia law “part of the great history of our nation” that sees “special guidance from God.”  

The United Nations reacted with indignation, calling the matter one of “deep concern,” and Hollywood has decided to follow suit. On April 22, four days after LGBT organization The Gill Action Fund decided to move a planned conference from the hotel, Oscar host Ellen DeGeneres took to Twitter to announce her boycott of The Beverly Hills Hotel and the Hotel Bel-Air over the Sultan of Brunei’s anti-gay stance, tweeting a link to a story on The Daily Beast.

Of course Hollywood hasn't seemed to care about Muslims stoning women to death, or killing their daughters in "honor killings" or Muslims giving their daughters away in forced marriages to pedophiles....but when news got out that they could stone GAYS...that was too much for Hollywood to stand for!!

So maybe this will be a GOOD THING if the actors of Hollywood learn what Sharia is all about. Maybe they will end up going onto the talk shows and red carpets of America and start drawing attention to the fact that SHARIAH IS ISLAM!!

Yes, there are many moderate Muslims who DON'T want Sharia...but the vast majority of Muslims all over the world DO WANT IT.

Hey...maybe this will lead to Hollywood taking a closer look at Hamas and Fatah in Gaza and the West Bank?  Maybe they will start to understand who rules over those Arabs their?  Maybe they will start to question their unending support for another Arab State called Palestine?  Maybe they should realize they shouldn't support a boycott of Israel...because Israel stands AGAINST Sharia law in the Middle East?

Well, one can hope!
