So you are OK with Christians and Jews having to pay extra tax unless they convert to Islam, that gays and non-Abrahamic faiths and non religious gets persecuted, that women are stoned for death in adultery, that apostate carries death penalty, etc. etc. in 21st century?

not really, but then i dont live in that country, i live in the US. i also am not part of the leadership in any country, just a simple US citizen who if i traveled to brunei, or any other country, would try to obey the laws of that country to avoid problems. if you are so fired up about this, then why dont you travel to brunei and talk to the sultan and see if you can get him to change his mind?

Actually living under Christian state, like England, means paradise and freedom. You know that Finland and Denmark are two countries with government sponsored church, yet has more freedom than Americans and rank higher in quality of life.

I sometimes wonder if humans are evolving back to savages by reacting to ignorant superstitions.
