Hollywood actor George Clooney is calling for a boycott of nine luxury hotels with links to Brunei, after the country said gay sex and adultery would soon be punishable by death.In 2014, Brunei became the first East Asian country to adopt Islamic Sharia law despite widespread condemnation."In the onslaught of news where we see the world backsliding into authoritarianism this stands alone," the actor wrote in a column for the entertainment website Deadline.
Brunei, on the island of Borneo, is ruled by Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah and has grown rich on oil and gas exports. "I've stayed at many of them," Mr Clooney wrote,"because I hadn't done my homework and didn't know who owned them.The Dorchester in London is among the nine hotels Mr Clooney has said should be boycotted
Brunei's ruling royals possess a huge private fortune and its largely ethnic-Malay population enjoy generous state handouts and pay no taxes.
Way to go Clooney!
The left are incredibly silent about far right Islam, in fact why do the left love such a far right ideology ?
Lets be clear here this is not a problem of 'Brunei' this is the problem of Islam-its Islam that denies LGBT community its rights NOT 'Brunei' its Islam that's homophobic NOT 'Brunei' Just like the protest at Birmingham schools this is as simple fact of Islam homophobia and hate!
Well done George - need more influential Celebrities to stand up against atrocities such as this.
Its a good move. The world should reject this archaic behavior.
Doubt it’ll happen but all for it💪
'7 ways the world is not designed for women' 'Should Google, Amazon and Facebook fear this woman?' 'Liberal Caputova bucks Europe's populist trend' 'Six writers, six directors, one woman' 'Boxer given suspension after kissing female reporter' BBC going full feminazi today I see!
what do you expect from morals that belong in the dark ages
How sad. Brunei must translate to 'way behind the times '.
...and?
Never been to Brunei, never going to Brunei so sure George, I’m all in for your hotel boycott 👍
Good man! I’m with George (if only😜)
Clooney short on air time is my guess as he would not have them tell America what was right or wrong
How come Clooney never ever condemns what’s happening in Gaza? Children in Gaza are being bombed on a daily basis with hundreds killed so far this year. The hypocrisy!
always curious when the celeb progressives gets a dose of what islam is really about - then they act surprised
Boycott all the luxury Brunei owned hotels ...yeah right George will make a huge difference to a Travelodger like me
I am with Mr. Clooney!
George Clooney read Leviticus 20:13-15
Celebertard
Islamophobe!!
I'll continue to boycott the Dorchester
