      Tour guides slander Islam with ulterior motives

      A husband wants to murder his wife and let his son pick up the murder weapon. There are such husbands and fathers in the world, and they only appear in American movies that slander Islam. They also use real-life gimmicks, which is extremely disgusting. . Those who are filthy are filthy, those who are pure are clear, and those who blindly give praise are like accomplices who pick up stones in a movie. They do not understand the facts and follow them blindly. How many people understand Islamic...

      Do evil things in the name of Allah

      The subject and content of this video have been clearly written by the video title, and you can tell what the content is by looking at the name. But I didn't expect that the film still gave me a great shock when it appeared in front of my eyes. It included sympathy for the hostess's experience, numbness and sorrow for her two sons, and hatred for the men in the small town. But after calming down, I have a few thoughts:
          for a long time in history, the status of women was very...

      Stoned in Libya, Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria

      I just watched Soraya the Stoned, and it was very heavy. The movie refers to the ancient folk lynching of stoning, and it uses a female injustice to deepen the story.

      Stone punishment is criticized by modern society because of its cruelty. As Soraya said in the movie: "I'm not afraid of death, I'm afraid of the process of death, the pain of those stones." The
      death penalty has shown a kind of retribution for evil, and now it is necessary to participate in the participation of...

      At some point, the human body is just the blood sacrificed on the altar

      The whole film is extremely depressing, different from the hope of life that "Desert Flower" can feel, this is a dead film that goes deeper and deeper.

      In the atmosphere of patriarchal supremacy, the most brutal thing is not the blood-stained wedding dress, nor the process of throwing stones to death, but the elated, boiling execution before the whole village.

      What a horrific sight it was: the whole village verges on the imminent execution of a woman! People crowded in front...

      I want to see the glorious tomorrow of Islam

      Soraya's crucifixion is comparable to the crucifixion of Jesus, who suffered for a belief that he held; Soraya was slaughtered by a belief that he held. This is an interesting religious contrast. Jesus used his body to tell people to tolerate all people, including enemies, so Christianity has the principle of universal equality from the very beginning. Muhammad did not suffer, he just tried to persuade others to accept his words, not accept? The successor used a butcher knife to promote...

      The director of this film is as courageous as Mel Gibson's filming of The Passion, but in the eyes of a layman like me, it is still too challenging to bear the bottom line, and I give up halfway through watching it. . . A travel friend said that she lived in Tehran for half a year with her husband who was working in Iran and then...

      I can't watch it anymore, I really can't watch it anymore, it's too cruel. The film ends with a 20-minute description of the stoning process, and in some corners of the world this cruel thing is actually still happening at this moment. A certain religion is too scary, and human beings are too...

    Background creation

    The stories told in the film are adapted from real events, and the reporter Frieden Cyberjim is also a real person, and the screenplay of the film is adapted from his book published in 1994. Freeton Cyberjim's father was the U.S. ambassador to Iran at the time. Living with his father in Iran since childhood made Freeton Cyberjim very familiar with the secular customs there. As a country known as the Islamic country with the strictest...

    Evaluation action

    Iran is a country with a combination of politics and religion with a very strong religious awareness. Once any act that violates Islamic law occurs, it will definitely be punished. As a result, these strict rules and precepts often breed some people with evil intentions who use this as a magic weapon to concoct charges and use lynching to obtain immediate benefits. This despicable and dark behavior will eventually be exposed under the...

    Movie quotes

    • Freidoune: Why should I listen you, because you say, the voices of women no longer matter anyway in this country.

      Zahra: Hear my story first, you will know why you should listen.

    • Ebrahim: [instructing Soyara] When a man accuses his wife, she must prove her innocence. That is the law. On the other hand, if a wife accuses her husband, she must prove his guilt. Do you understand?

      Zahra: [to Ebrahim] Yes, it's clear, all women are guilty, and all men are innocent. Correct.

    • Zahra: Are you frightened?

      Soraya M.: Not of death. But of dying, the stones - the pain.
