Politically Correct: Of Brandeis and Brunei

After Brandeis Reneged on an Honorary Degree to Ayan Hirsii Ali Because She  Compares Islam to Other Forms of Intolerance, Brunei Shows the True Colors of Islam

Today the sultan of tiny Brunei enacted Sharia as the national law of this tiny country. Sharia will be extended to Brunei’s 40,000 Christians, 50,000 Buddhists, and 325,000 Muslims
The punishments are now:
rape … public stoning to death
adultery … public stoning to death
sodomy … public stoning to death,
extramarital sex … public stoning to death
defamation of the Prophet Mohammed … public stoning to death
blasphemy … public stoning to death
declaring oneself a prophet … public stoning to death
converting from Islam … public stoning to death
mocking the Quran ….insulting any verses of the Koran and Hadith … public stoning to death
consumption of alcohol …. two years’ imprisonment and a fine of $8,000
robbery … cutting off the hand
murder (tbs)
Like Saudi Arabia and the UAE, Brunei benefits from being accepted as wealthy, a perfect antidote for the poison of immorality.   Secretary of State John Kerry last year praised Brunei as a land of peace.   Apparently this contrasts with such neighboring relatively liberal countries as India, Sri Lanka,  Indonesia and Malaysia where government is expected to follow human laws.  Or perhaps everyone expects the sultan to do a wink wink abut sharia as is often the case in the uber wealthy Arab states.Wonder if Brandeis is interested in giving the Sultan an honorary degree?
