That's what I call a war on Christmas!

To all those who keep ranting about the "War on Christmas", this should put things into perspective a little bit.

The super-rich ruler who stones gays, now bans Christmas: Sultan of Brunei threatens Muslims who celebrate it with up to five years in prison while Christians must keep theirs secret

- Christmas trees, carols and even Santa hats are off in the Borneo nation
- Muslims caught celebrating are threatened with up to five years in prison
- The nation's non-Muslims are allowed to celebrate in their communities
- But revealing their celebrations to Muslims would also lead to jail time
- In 2014 the country introduced an anti-gay Sharia Penal Code, which includes the execution of any Muslim for sodomy
- The sultan owns the hotel chain with the Beverly Hills Hotel and Dorchester among others - and those properties are decked out Christmas
