The Stoning of Soraya M.

no doubt the best movie ever. maybe the first part was kinda dragged a little but this was basically the perfect movie. i recommend to everyone unless you cant handle things too graphic.(think jesus christ graphic) this movie made me want to do something about it. i felt like i was in the movie. very nice

"I will tell the world about it" WOW I almost broke down in tears n so did most people in the movie theatre!!! Shohre,you are one of a kind I'm proud of you :) thanx for uncovering the truth...

Shohreh Aghdashloo, WE ARE PROUD OF YOU!!! You were the SUPER STAR of Iran's cinema and you are the SUPER STAR of WORLD's cinema now. CONGRADULATION!!! You deserve TEN OSCARS!!! Holllywood you are so lucky to have her. Shoreh joun: Ura*
PAYANDEH FREE IRAN!!!

I wouldn't recommend anyone go alone. A coworker mentioned it to me and I checked online at showtimes and had just enough time to get there. It has been 2 weeks since I saw it, and today was the first day I woke up and it wasn't the first thing I thought of.

Wow I am going to see it now and have my Kleenex ready. My friends really don't want to see it, so I will brave it alone.

If your community is big enough maybe you can request a viewing be done in your theater. All things are possible.

yeah you should request a screening...this is a movie that must be seen universally...period.

the question seems to be: can the US throw off boomer liberalism in time to build a strong enough reformation in islam to counter the chicom/russian ploy to use the muslims as a foil again. jihadis carry sks's and fire rpg's...
the boomers (soros, msm etc ) have erected O to fulfill their golden vision (sendero lum..) of 1968 while the islamic world is moving forward. the retro islam only gets traction because of ingsoc and the dnc.

Cyrus Nowrasteh was amazing on Hannity last night. Thank you for bringing this film to the public. Pressure must be put upon Iran and other countries to stop stoning now! This true story must be told in every corner of the world!

This was the most difficult piece of film I have ever seen in my life. People all over the world need to take a stand to this blatant abuse and disregard for the lives of women.

Plus, if you read surat 4 in the quran, you will clearly see that woman in islam is just above an animal. Surat 4:34 allows man to beat his wife only if he ''fears'' her dissobedience...It's game open for man to do whatever he wants to woman. This is not a religion similar to judaism or christianity...and it has not evolved since 1400 hundred years.

Islam, Judaism and Christianity have many striking similarities. Claudia, it might suprise you, but muslim scholars teach that only defensive wars are truly jihad. It's a miss interpretation, from a muslim scholars point of view, of that particular scripture you made mention of. In fact, if you actually read the new testament, you would have been suprised by Christ's (yes I'm christian, so 'jesus' won't do:) statement to his apostles, giving them instructions regarding the formalities of their missionary labors. Remember, in (matthew 10:9-10) when Christ gave instructions to his disciples not to take purse, or scrip, but to rely on the good of the people and God's grace to seem them through?

well read (Luke 22:35-38) you might be suprised to see that Christ revokes that statement and then says what? I quote, (from the king james version) "Then he said unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and AND HE THAT HATH NO SWORD, LET HIM SELL HIS GARMENT, AND BUY ONE." wow. wait, what about peace and love? was Christ counseling his disciples to defend themselves if necessary?? Couldn't that be interpreted to mean that we have a right to defend ourselves? Wasn't that used as justification by war-mongoring 'saints' to give substantiation to their cruel and vicious attacks? Have you read the old testament??? Who is the God of the old testament Claudia? who is Jehovah? Can't we logically assume that Jesus Christ was the God of the old testament?? Read (SAMUEL 15) how can you reconcile such a hypocritical statement with what is said here? The God of Israel commanding saul to slaughter whom??? The men... the women.... the children.... and even commaded saul to kill all the cattle(animals)? How do you think a muslim interprets those seeming conundrums?? Do you have an answer for why The God of Israel would give such a commandment? ... Isn't God Perfect? Who was Saul commanded to extirpate? infidels? But wait, he received authorization by God, right... How does that interpretation compare with the statement you made? You would interpret it a bit different I'm sure. Hopefully you do, the old testament is impregnates with such examples...

Read up on the history between 500 and 1000 CE, and you'll see that christianity and islam were in the very same boat, distorting their doctrines to justify their actions. Think about the inquisitions, or the supposed 'heretical movement'. People today be it muslim and christian, justify their actions based on their interpretation of scripture. No? If such isn't the case, then why do we have hundreds of christian denominations with different interpretations of the scriptures? which interpretations are correct? I assume you know that islam itself has different sects, with different interpretations of their own scripture, right??? If you have any different insights regarding my views, please respond. I would love to here your interpretation... I would suggest reading your own scripture, before ignorantly and fallaciously seeking to tear down someone else's. I'll wait for your response, then we'll discuss the class of women in antiquity. The source I have sighted regarding scholarly muslim views come from:.... ... See More

you can help if you want it in your country! contact us!

I know, Gerry, but that's not the point. We shouldn't do it in exchange for gratitude, but only because it's the right thing to do, regardless of how they react. Charity is its own reward.

I agree with you Bill Perry. Anyway, not everyone is ungrateful. We need to help those without a voice, namely women and children, wherever they are.

with lots of beer ;-)

Ha! I hope that is what she was refering too...

I too just got back from seeing and am still weeping.

Me too.

james cavezeil is terrific.

her husband wanted to divorce her so he could marry a 13yo or so girl...but since she didnt want to divorce him for a few reasons, he wrongly accused her of adultery (after finding out that the punishment of adultery is stoning to death)
the movie is based on a true story which is the saddest part!

Great to know! :)

I'll be listening!
