THE super wealthy Sultan of Brunei has cancelled Christmas, threatening those who celebrate with jail or hefty fines.
Muslim citizens of the small oil-rich country have been banned from putting up Christmas trees, singing carols and sending Christmas cards amid fears it could lead its 420,000-strong population astray.

Christians and other non-Muslims have been permitted to celebrate, but must do so behind closed doors and any Muslim caught celebrating Christmas faces up to five years in jail or a £13,500 fine. At least 65 per cent of Brunei's population are Muslims.

In a statement the country’s Ministry of Religious Affairs said: “These enforcement measures are... intended to control the act of celebrating Christmas excessively and openly, which could damage the aqidah (beliefs) of the Muslim community.”

Officials are reported to have patrolled business districts to ensure they are not displaying any festive decorations or banners.

Christians and other non-Muslims have been permitted to celebrate, but must do so behind closed doors and keep their plans a secret from other faiths. Speaking to the Borneo Bulletin, some imams said: “Some may think that it is a frivolous matter and should not be brought up as an issue.
“But as Muslims... we must keep it [following other religions' celebrations] away as it could affect our Islamic faith.”

Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah, who has ruled the former British colony for nearly 50 years, introduced the ban on Christmas in 2014, the same year Brunei adopted a stricter penal code, based on Islamic sharia and including punishments such as stoning and amputation.

The ban has seen a backlash among some Brunei residents who have posted pictures of their Christmas celebrations to Twitter as part of wider social media campaign #MyTreedom which encourages religious freedom.

It is clear 2016 d world is coming to an end

I really wish the western countries aren't so liberal, when you have muslims prayers in the vatican and the exact opposite is being done to sub-jugate xtians in the east.

Muslims are so insecure, despite all the clamp down their useless religion is still dying at an alarming rate.

Islam is the religion of peace (lie)...George Bush Jr.

Islam promote tolerance and diversity (lie)...David Cameron.

The foundation of the US contitution can be found in the quran (lie)...Barrack Obama

Fight those who do not believe in allahh or the last day...even if they are christians and Jews...and force them to pay jizya with willing submission and humilations (true)...quran 9:29.

It's so pathetic that the western leaders who should lead the charge in exposing islam are the ones covering up for them but we thank God for the internet, the truth is already out and it's spreading at an alarming rate culminating in six million muslims renouncing islam every year.

The corrupt and occultic liberal western leaders are the greatest promoters of islam.

The future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of islam...Barrak obama.

But muslims can slander other faiths, religion and culture. Western powers are currently evil and shameless for calling white black and black white through their relentless defense of islam and willingly destroying christianity while at the same time promoting homosexuality, pornography and any anti-christian vice.

and you all believe this obvious lie
