Assault on morals

re: "Stop creep of 'full Sharia'" (Editorial, April 11)


Dear editor,

Brunei's religiously inspired legal assault on good morals is a timely reminder of two important truths: 1) religion fails to guarantee good morals, and 2) being in accord with the law is equally irrelevant to moral good, the rule of law too often being used by bad people to commit great evil.
