Brunei is grooming a season of hate against Christian symbols and, in particular, the Word of God. Holding a Bible in a public space can cause quite a stir. The behavior is common in both young people and older generations. While Christians in Brunei can practice their faith, they cannot in public. It has to be out of the view of Muslims. They practice a conservative form of Islam without a radical element to it. Sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ is illegal. Purchasing Bibles is only possible for personal use. Evangelical churches must register as businesses and report income to the government regularly. Discrimination against Christians is widespread in Brunei. New Christian Believers, especially from the Muslim community, face the maximum persecution. Open Doors Persecuted Nations List ranks Brunei at 48th.
