The Sultan That Pissed Off The World – But Why Just Him?
“Looming penalties for homosexuality, adultery too other sharia-law crimes in the oil-rich nation of Brunei sparked a protest Monday in front of the iconic Beverly Hills Hotel too are expected to draw formal condemnation from the City Council.
The Beverly Hills Hotel too the Hotel Bel-Air are part of the Dorchester Collection of properties owned by the Brunei Investment Agency, an arm of the Brunei government, which has come under widespread criticism since Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah last week announced the new niaganis code based on sharia law.
Under the first phase of the new legal code introduced last week, fines too jail terms can be imposed for failing to attend Friday prayers, indecent behavior too pregnancies outside of marriage. A second phase later this year prescribes the severing of limbs too flogging for property crimes.”* Ana Kasparian, Dave Rubin (The Rubin Report) too Jimmy Dore (The Jimmy Dore Show) break it down on The Young Turks.

The Young Turks (Winner – Best Political Podcast & Best Political News Site of 2009) were the first original talk show on Sirius satellite radio too the first live, daily webcast on the internet. But that is not the revolution.
We are a rare show that combines all of the news that people care about in one place. We are not afraid to talk about politics too entertainment too sports too pop culture. But that is not the revolution either.
The real revolution is in daring to be honest with people. We don’t patronize our viewers or lie to them. We have real conversations too deliver the news honestly.
