While at CPAC, I had the opportunity to interview the director of "The Stoning of Soraya M." , Cyrus Nowrasteh:

This is story that must be told, as it is a story of hope that must not be extinguished. It is the account of an 'inconvenient wife' accused of adultery in a rural town in Iran. The punishment for such a crime under islamic law is death by stoning. The movie was filmed near Petra, Jordan and many in the cast are of Iranian descent.
An Iranian journalist living in Paris, Freidoune Sahebjam, stumbled upon the story while on assignment in Iran, when his car broke down in this town and the aunt of Soraya shared her story with him.
In 1986, Soraya M. was stoned to death upon the accusation of adultery. This happened in the 20th century, not the dark ages. This movie takes an unflinching look at heinous human behavior driven by islamic law.

I’m sure the thugs in the Fuhrer’s Administration would approve of the heinous behavior.
As an ex-cop I’ve seen a lot and have a strong stomach, but this stoning was so barbaric I got sick. Religion of peace my a**.
Religion of Peace strikes again. A good thing we are importing thousands of them, we need this kind of diversity /sarc
