Wakeup? Rather than a one word comment I suggest a little history of Brunei and the reason behind the introduction of sharia law might make for interesting reading. The story involves the spread of Islam centuries ago, massive corruption (many tens of billions of US$s) in the ruling family and a desire to hold on to power. Not a little unlike the USA at present I'd think.
