I saw the film today and it was excellent. Of course the stoning was ugly and violent. But it wasn't overly so. I have no desire to see a real stoning, but I am sure he is right that the real thing is a hundred times more horrible.

[...] Which brings up another flaw in the film. Much like the plight of women in the Middle East in general post 9/11, Soraya will no doubt be ignored by feminist groups, which is all the more ironic: with exception of Caviezel’s character, the men depicted here are universally manipulative and scheming. (Though it could have worse, I suppose: as Nowrasteh says, “If you read the book you would see just how far I went in the writing the script,“ he says, adding even the selfish husband who accuses his wife of adultery is given flashes of humanity. “In the book there was no shading.”) [...]

We'd like to flatter ourselves that the spectacle of stoning is a hold-over from a more primitive era, but it may be a grim look into the future. Civilization doesn't just happen. We enjoy the benfits of prosperity and rule of law because of centuries of struggle by generations of what the Left in their arrogance deride as "dead (mostly) white males." Thanks to several generations of ennervated Western European societies which Obama wishes us to emulate, the civilized bits on the global map are now shrinking. Movies like "Soraya M" will hopefully wake more of the American people to the reality that we must be prepared to fight to maintain the rights and priveleges which are taken for granted

You think this is bad? Wait until the current Iraqi regime delivers to us that big stone from the sky. It's coming soon to a theater near you. Does anyone really believe that once they have it, they won't use it?
