BANDAR SERI BEGAWAN, Brunei (AP) — A new criminal law that could include penalties like amputation for theft and stoning for adultery will be enforced for Muslims in Brunei in six months, its ruling sultan announced.
Brunei's Shariah Islamic court had previously handled mainly family-related disputes. The sultan has been hoping to implement the new law for years to bolster the influence of Islam in the tiny, oil-rich monarchy on Southeast Asia's Borneo island.
Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah said the Shariah Penal Code should be regarded as a form of "special guidance" from God and would be "part of the great history" of Brunei.
"By the grace of Allah, with the coming into effect of this legislation, our duty to Allah is therefore being fulfilled," the sultan said at a legal conference in Brunei's capital.

[h=1]'Gender Apartheid’: Outrage After Sex Segregation Revealed at British Universities During Islamic Events[/h] Dec. 16, 2013 7:40am Sharona Schwartz

Outrage is being voiced in Britain after reports have emerged of women being forced to sit separately from men at events held by Muslim groups on British campuses, a phenomenon some have termed “gender apartheid.”
Britain’s Sunday Times reported that not only were women forced to sit in the back of the hall at a seminar organized by the Queen Mary Islamic Society at Queen Mary University of London last month, they were not allowed to speak and had to enter via a “sisters only” entrance. Men – who were seated in front – were allowed to ask questions orally while women wrote their questions on paper.
The event, called Deception of the Dunya (world), featured a speaker Ustadh Abu Abdillah who spoke about living morally, the British paper reported.
One female student who attended told the Sunday Times she thought the experience was degrading. “It’s not just about segregation but also about how they’re treating women,” the student told the paper, adding she didn’t want her name used for fear she might be attacked.
“It’s one thing to be segregated but a whole other thing being told we are not allowed to speak and men being told not to look at woman,” the student who is a devout Muslim herself said.
“You just want to shake them and say ‘Why are you being so disrespectful?’” she added.
A university spokesman was quoted by the Daily Mail, saying “Segregated events are not in line with Queen Mary’s values or equality policy. We will be raising this with our students’ union as this should extend to student society-organized events with external speakers such as this one.”
Last month’s event followed a similar incident earlier this year at the University of Leicester during which women were seated rows behind men during a lecture organized by the University of Leicester Islamic Society.
Photographs were posted online of the Islamic Awareness Week event, at which signs were put up directing “brothers” and “sisters” to use different doors to enter the room.

The Daily Mail posted this photograph showing the men in the front of the room:
The Daily Mail reported that this photo was on the University of Leicester Islamic Society’s Facebook page.
“Separate seating for men and women is not something we ever enforce. It happens naturally and if Muslim women were disadvantaged they would be the first to complain,” Saleem Chagtai of the Islamic Education and Research Academy said according to the Daily Mail.
Last month, Universities UK (UUK) established guidelines which allowed religious groups to segregate men and women at public meetings on campus, as long as the segregation was based on “genuinely held religious beliefs.”
Catherine Bennett, a columnist for the Observer, termed the sex segregation practice “gender apartheid.” In the Guardian’s Comment Is Free blog, she wrote “It may or may not be lawful, depending on future lawsuits and revised advice from Universities UK, for academic institutions to compel submission to speaker demands for gender apartheid where this is the outcome of ‘genuinely held religious beliefs.’”
“All we can know for sure, at the time of writing, is that those with phony or inadequately fanatical religious beliefs are unlikely to be granted the privilege of segregation in our universities. Unless they are very good liars,” she added.
Rupert Sutton of Student Rights, a group that combats extremism on British campuses, was quoted in the Daily Mail reacting to the Leicester incident: “The obvious discrimination in this picture is what segregated seating can mean in practice – women pushed to the back of the hall, while men are given the best seats to see and hear the speaker.”
The watchdog group found that of the visits by Islamic speakers to British campuses, over one quarter resulted in segregated meetings.
British Prime Minister David Cameron told Sky News on Friday, “I’m absolutely clear that there should not be segregated audiences for visiting speakers to universities in Britain.”
“That is not the right approach. The guidance should not say that, universities should not allow this. I’m very clear about this,” Cameron added.
Appearing to backtrack on the earlier directive, Universities UK chief Nicola Dandridge said in a statement: “Universities UK agrees entirely with the prime minister that universities should not enforce gender segregation on audiences at the request of guest speakers.”

The following story is true.......
A White, American woman and her 4 children were trapped in the mall in Kenya during the recent terror attack. The boys were in a separate store. They got out safely. Meanwhile she crouched under a table with her 4yo and infant daughter, praying the baby wouldn't cry, gunfire all around her.
Meanwhile a Muslim man heard about the attack from his brother who worked in the mall. He drove to the mall and went in, while everyone else was streaming out. Shortly thereafter he received a text from his brother, "I am safe. If you are in the mall get out!"
But he did not leave. He spotted the woman and led her and her two children to the exit.

Another example of Muslim madness.
Sudan.
Over 97% of the population adheres to Islam.The Muslims are divided between two groups Sufi and Salafi(Ansar Al Sunnah) Muslim. Two popular divisions, the Ansar and the Khatmia, are associated with the opposition Umma and Democratic Unionist Parties.
Muslims once again destroy their country.
South Sudan, which declared independence from Sudan in 2011, remains one of Africa's least developed countries for all its oil reserves, which supply almost all its government revenues and hard currency. Fighting has so far appeared to stay away from the oil fields.
Idiots.
The British government is sending a plane to South Sudan to evacuate UK nationals as the situation in the country worsens.
The Foreign and Commonwealth Office said the plane would arrive on Thursday to carry "any British nationals wishing to leave".
The US and UK had already withdrawn non-essential embassy staff. The Foreign Office said on Wednesday that its mission in the capital, Juba, remained open but that it had decided to temporarily withdraw some embassy staff and their dependents, while advising against all travel to Juba.

[h=2]A smile... then a kiss of the Koran: Lee Rigby's distraught family leave court in tears after his Muslim killers show no remorse as they are found GUILTY of hacking hero soldier to death
Fusilier Rigby, 25, was 'mutilated, almost decapitated and murdered' by Michael Adebowale, 22, and Michael Adebolajo, 28, who ambushed him outside his military barracks in Woolwich, South East London on May 22. The jury, who will be offered counselling, took just 90 minutes to find them guilty of the Fusilier's murder but not guilty of the attempted murder of police. Adebolajo, centre left, kissed the Koran and smiled as the verdicts were read while Adebowale, centre right, was unmoved. During their trial Lee Rigby's bereft family were forced to watch footage and hear gruesome accounts of the soldier being run down at 40mph and hacked to death. His fiancée Aimee West, right, stood alongside his estranged wife Rebecca Rigby, left, and sobbed as a tribute to the father-of-one was read outside the Old Bailey today

'The events were inevitable': Muslim convert brother of one of Lee Rigby's killers blames Britain's foreign policy for murderous attack
Argument: Jeremiah Adebolajo says his brother Michael's murder of Lee Rigby was 'inevitable' and had an 'obvious' justification
Theory: Jeremiah told Al Jazeera that his brother was a violent man but so was Lee Rigby because he was a soldier
- Jeremiah Adebolajo says Lee Rigby's murder had 'obvious' justification
- 'The events were inevitable. There was eventually going to be another attack which mentioned foreign policy as its justification,' he said
- Michael Adebolajo arrested in Kenya in 2010 and MI5 'tried to recruit him'
- Friend of killer says secret services 'destroyed' his life before Woolwich
