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.

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.

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

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.

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!
