This movie will twist your stomach as your eyes well with tears. It is only for those with a strong physical, mental and spiritual constitution.
In 1990 Freidoune Sahebjam, a French journalist, published the story of Soraya in his book La Femme Lapidée. This is the true story of an Iranian woman caught in the nightmare of corrupted Sharia Law.
The Qur'an never mentions the punishment of stoning for the crime of adultery. But stoning is mentioned numerous times in the Hadith (the sayings of Mohamed and his followers). In 1983 the new Islamic Republic reinstated the practice of stoning. However domestic and international protests led to a moratorium on the practice in 2002. The election of Ahmadinejad again brought a revival to the practice. (Information from Wikipedia, "Stoning")
Stoning was commanded in the Bible for a number of crimes under the Law of Moses. Three of the most famous stoning incidents in the Bible are found in John eight when Jesus intervened in the attempted stoning of a woman caught in adultery. In Acts seven Stephen is stoned to death for blasphemy. In Acts 14 Paul was stoned at Lystra and left for dead. Later his friends revived him, and he lived.
My only response after watching a movie like this is, "Amen, Come Lord Jesus."

i am surprised how too many christians simply mention but then skip over the issue that the Biblical God, JAHWEH Himself, did command stoning for adultery in the OT times. i am a christian, and have no simpathy for islam, but this kind of behaviour makes me nervous. what about the bible and stoning, then? give us some light there, would you please?
