Comments on: Brunei: It’s rich, but slaps harsh laws on Christians http://www.30-days.net/muslims/muslims-in/asia-east/brunei/ 107 Muslim countries, people groups and cities we pray for Thu, 09 Feb 2012 04:11:45 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v= By: Catholic Bruneian http://www.30-days.net/muslims/muslims-in/asia-east/brunei/comment-page-5/#comment-24948 Catholic Bruneian Wed, 04 May 2011 13:09:32 +0000 http://www.30-days.net/muslims/muslims-in/asia-east/brunei/#comment-24948 I am a Catholic and I am Bruneian. Surely that in itself, according to your article, would be a massive contradiction? I was born and bred in Brunei, and not once have I been forbidden to practice my faith. Sure, I'm not allowed to flaunt my religion in other people's faces but neither has Islam been forced upon me. I'm currently studying in the UK with a scholarship from the Ministry of Education in Brunei and if Brunei was indeed discriminatory towards Christians, I wouldn't have had a chance and yet here I am! This article is not only insulting, it also shows how little people like you actually understand about how anything works in Brunei. I believe the Bruneian government have a right to impose strict rules on how religion ought to be practiced in the country, it is after all an Islamic state but they have also allowed the construction of churches and temples for those who aren't Muslim to practice their faith. Get your facts straight before writing ridiculous articles such as this one. I am a Catholic and I am Bruneian. Surely that in itself, according to your article, would be a massive contradiction?

"Life is difficult for Christians in Brunei. Some have lost their jobs without any notice (what???!!). Christians seeking opportunities for higher education must leave the country to access universities. Evangelism is strictly forbidden...." huh?????????? What the heck is this! is this findings really based on concrete research and evidence? if so this should be published to proof this ...otherwise the claim is just fabrications just to create friction and tension amongst bruneians who has been living in peace for ages. We muslims do not allow any unjust acts on my my non muslim brothers and sisters ..well except ofcourse anything involving your missioneries work is out of question. nobody here in Brunei is silly enough to be forced to convert. the non muslims here just need to respect Islam as the domain religion among majority of bruneian who have been practising this for hundreds of years. FYI, yes i am a muslim. i have a very large extended familes..cousins, aunties, grannies who practise religion freely..some are buddhist, christians, anemist..even atheist and we all live in harmony with lots of respect with each other's belief, culture and way of life. i have no problem attending a cousin's wedding in a church or celebrate christmas and in return they turn up in our muslim's gatherings or events..or even funerals. may Allah bless this kingdom. the christians really have harsh life as in really suffering here in Brunei?
