A mistake many in the West make is they view situations in the Middle East through Western eyes...and this perspective is not only erroneous, but pernicious...

The too oft practice of what is known as Honor Killings, is the misogynist attitude of Muslim men, come to fruition. Honor Killing is the practice of murdering the female member of the family who is perceived to have stained the family honor. It is practiced in many parts of the Muslim world. 

Despite the fact that we have had Honor Killings here on our sod, most Americans haven't the foggiest idea what the heinous practice is...and therefore, neither do they care. 

But there's good news...in the theaters right now, is a depiction of a true story of an Honor Killing committed in Iran...a cold, slap in the face for those of us who refuse to see the truth. 

The film, 'The Stoning of Soraya M.', was 1 hr. 56 minutes that sealed for me, a deep disdain for the religion that dictates and provokes a hatred of women that has become systemic in the Arab world...emanating out of the Quran. This was the true story, about a woman, whose degenerate husband decided he no longer wanted his wife of 20 years (who bore him 4 children) but instead desired a 14 year old girl. Instead of granting her a divorce (where he would be responsible to support her and the children), he developed a machination to accuse her of adultery, when she was helping a recently widowed man and his son. He threatened other men in town to lie as witnesses and they found her guilty...sentencing her to death by stoning. 

Just another gift from Sharia Law...because remember...women are considered chattel in Islam...

The stoning scene was one of the most distressing scenes I have ever encountered in a film. To watch men brutalizing a defenseless woman was nefarious. They placed her in a ditch up to her waist, tied her arms behind her (disabling her defense)...then proceeded to bludgeon her slowly and methodically...all the while screaming "Allah Akbar"...god is great. Her father disavowed her and cast the first stones...and her husband cast several stones, which surely contributed to her demise. They even had her two sons hurl stones at their innocent mother. The scene took 20 minutes...and I'm sure took several years from my life in horror.

If we, in the West, are ever to grasp the threat we are under by those following hard after Islam...we all must see this film. Especially women.

I, for one, will never be the same. And will expose this insidious, misogynist religion for what it is: A criminal creed against women.
