Brunei's Sultan Warns Those Celebrating Christmas Could Face Up To Five Years In Jail



The Independent: Brunei cancels Christmas: Sultan warns those celebrating could face up to five years in jail

The punishment for celebrating Christmas is a fine of $20,000, up to five years in prison or both

Anyone found illegally celebrating Christmas in Brunei could face up to five years in prison, according to a reported declaration by the Sultan of the tiny oil-rich state.

Brunei introduced its ban on Christmas last year over fears that celebrating it "excessively and openly" could lead its Muslim population astray.

WNU Editor: The "real war against Christmas" continues.

    Meanwhile, in Damascus, they; ( Shia, Sunni, Druze, Christians, Zoasterans etc) are celebrating their first Christmas of hope in many a year.

    Funny how Christmas works out when you take Whabbism out of the equation.

    Jay,

    Thinking about Wahabbist standards, five years in prison seems quite tolerant ;)

      It's actually quite funny.

      "All" "our" "enemies", ( note the quotes) in the ME, hold that Judiasm, Jeasus and Christianity are "Peopke of the Book", common history, shared beliefs,

      Except for the Whabbist's, who are our closest allies and BDF's.

    Brunei says no to Christmas.
