brandonthemovieboy The Stoning of Soraya M is based on a true story where a husband (Ali) wants to get rid of his wife (Soraya) so he could go marry somebody else, so they plot to kill her by throwing stones at her until she dies. The stoning scene is certainly not for the faint of heart, it really disturbed and upset me. I hate the fact that women in the middle east are still being treated like this! And they always go on about how they're doing this for god, god wouldn't have wanted any of this! God wants peace and love. Please watch this movie, it is a must see before you die! Also when you finish watching this, tell your friends about this movie and they'll recommend it to their friends as well! This is a story that deserves to be heard.
johngalt-02189 They wont' see this movie and if they do they are not smart enough to realize the evil of Iran's Ayatollah version Islam and their evil in supporting it. Or maybe they will see this film as a training manual. The makers of the movie wanted to raise awareness of the horrors of living in the Islamo-Fascist Regime of Iran. The movie was made in 2008 - 27 years after the Khomeini took over Iran. Now it is another 10 years and the stonings, murder, torture and rape of innocents continue. Nothing has changed in Iran except women are not having many children and Iran has more people with sexually transmitted diseases than any country outside of the continent of Africa. People do not have children when they have no hope.This movie is difficult to watch. Very difficult. The suffering you will see is here is immense. What Soraya goes through has happened throughout Iran for 39 straight years without interruption or without world condemnation. People who apologize for Iran, help Iran, conspire with Iran or help Iran are evil.This movie is watching hell on earth for 2 hours.
Muzafar Saeed ah! was really shocked when I got to know that this movie is based on true story. Painful movie of the stoning here in this case, but in Islam you need a strong evidence for stoning not only for girls and woman's but also for boys and man's .The reason for Stoning in Islam is only for the purpose that our society/world should be safe by the rape cases .But in this movie the stoning case is disturbed Caz the Mayor does not have the strong evidences whether Soraya is involved or not . So after watching this movie I got a point that Stoning case is not verified clearly and nor you people have the permissions to tease this matter. Look who many Rape cases we see all over the world , how many mobile Apps we have installed on our smart phones regarding about happening of these cases like 'Guardian' App from Microsoft for Windows Phone (as I am using it now). If we all people accept stoning then we will notice that these cases will decline Caz every body loves his/her life. So I'm not against Stoning . Why I will ,in our country when my sister leaves home for any purpose say schooling then I too have to go with her Caz I didn't know what is going to happen with her especially on roads and in bus stops . Why our whole generation is found of watching PORN movies ?? the reasons is that they think we will do it to any unknown girl....
Laura Mae The Stoning of Soraya M. is a 2008 movie based on a true story from 1986 in Iran. A French journalist also wrote a book about it. The book was banned in Iran. More than a dozen websites say the movie was financed by Blackwater's founder Erik Prince. Weeks before the movie was released, Huffington Post reported, "That stoning still occurs today is proof too few understand its barbarity or frequency." There is also the tiny matter of this stoning victim's innocence. As if her unjust and barbaric death penalty is not horrific enough, layer in her husband having 1) turned her eldest son against her, 2) openly cheated on her 3) hatched a plan to falsely accuse her of cheating on him and 4) blackmailed a neighbor into corroborating the false accusation. Then, Iran's justice system (Islamic Sharia law) held and concluded her trial - without her in attendance. Also, in Iran, as Ebrahim said to Soraya's aunt, "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?"Soraya's aunt responded with, "Yes, it's clear, all women are guilty, and all men are innocent."All of these injustices culminate into the final atrocity: each family member and entire community participate in these stonings. Each member throws stones. Hundreds of stones were thrown until their impact killed her. She was defenseless because she was half buried alive. Her hands were bound and the top half of her body was left exposed.
