The Hudud Laws
With the whole shitstorms in full swing, one thing caught my eyes. Brunei had adoptend, nay, implemented a new penal law since last week. By 1st May 2014, the new penal law which known as Hudud would be in full effect. There were a lot of reactions regarding on this implementation, within and without of Brunei. The United Nations in particular, condemns the Islamic laws, claiming it to be a direct violation to human rights. Others however, claims that the new penal laws to be outdated and barbaric, because the punishment includes decapitation and flogging.
