LGBT against Islam but we don’t kill them, deputy minister tells George Clooney
Clooney in late March led calls for a boycott of nine hotels owned by Brunei because of plans by the South-east Asian country to impose the death penalty — including by stoning — for gay sex or adultery as it rolled out further Islamic laws. — Reuters pic
"No, I feel we have to hold on to our principles as a sovereign nation. An Islamic nation. But we do not at all support such a thing. "Yes, better for him to be aware of what he says," Marzuki said, when asked if he is correcting Clooney's remark., where he said that the hotels boycott that forced the Sultan of Brunei to back down from imposing the death penalty for homosexuality will serve as warning to other countries considering the same legislation.
“[...] And more important is the reason for this is this is something that is manageable, because it sends a warning shot over to countries like Indonesia and Malaysia who also are considering these laws, that the business people, the big banks , those guys are going to say ‘don’t even get into that business, so that’s the reason you do it,” Clooney said.
