When the Sultan of Brunei, this little Asian state applying the
Sharia, announced that a law promulgated 5 years ago was finally going
to be implemented as early as April of this year and would allow
to EXECUTE by LAPIDATION recognized persons
guilty of homosexuality, the American actor George Clooney
immediately attacked to defend body and soul
people from LGBT communities in danger of death.
When one bears George Clooney’s name, the consequences of
the attack are much more important than one might think. It is
thanks to George that we know today that the Sultan, one of
richest men in the world, owns several hotels and
luxury companies around the world. Even before
the most deadly and most medieval law enforcement of
Islam, George has launched a public call to boycott businesses
of the Sultan and was not afraid to get wet so that not only
the law is canceled, but we do not target any more, wherever
that is, sexual minorities simply because of their preferences
love. The list of companies that are the subject of the boycott is
long and very prestigious. The Dorchester (London) hotels,
45 Park Lane (London), Coworth Park (United Kingdom), The Beverly Hills Hotel (Beverly Hills), Hotel Bel-Air (Los Angeles), Le Meurice (Paris), Hotel Plaza Athenee (Paris), Hotel Eden (Rome) and Hotel Principe di Savoia (Milan) are targeted and already, the different directions some of these establishments are beginning to feel hot soup to the point where, for some, they prefer to dissociate themselves from the new law. Some of these hotels employ many gay people. Never mind, every dollar that does not enter these hotels is a dollar that does not go into the pockets of the Sultan.
The Minister of Justice of Brunei tried to explain, in a press release, that the law only applied to Muslims, yet there he demonstrated the stupidity of the thought of Sharia! Since when is it acceptable to perform a gay Muslim?
The boycott is already starting to produce its effects. The Beverly Hills Hotel has laid off staff and other hotels are planning to close, just to let the crisis go. A crisis created from scratch by the Sultan of a seriously ill kingdom. With the help of George Clooney, lives will certainly be saved, and for that we tell him « Thank you friend! »
