i bet the teachers in brunei are allowed to wear hijabs.

i understand that we are not in imminent threat of religious rule in quebec or in canada. but, complacency is a bad idea - this is not a joke, this is real.

brunei is not the only country with these kinds of laws, or the only country with a strong tourism industry that punishes people very harshly for trivial behaviour. it's not an isolated example. there is a pattern, here.

there is a large british military presence in brunei, tasked with protecting the royal family from it's own people.
