Movie's Spotlight on Stoning Death Brings Abuse Out of the Shadows

Click on the title to read the article about the movie The Stoning of Soraya M. The subject of this movie--the stoning of a woman accused of adultery--should cause everyone in the world to be outraged. How can any religion claiming to worship God allow such things to happen to women? Why would women want to be a part of any religion that would subjugate them so thoroughly? How could Obama have the nerve to say to the world that women have the right to choose a life of tradition? It seems to me that most women in their right minds would run like the wind away from such a life if they had a choice. Is he that stupid that he thinks women in those cultures have a choice? More likely he knows full well that they don't. I wonder if he realizes that when he gave that speech saying women could choose, he actually opened the door for more abuses. As hard as it is, we need to face this issue squarely and fight like hell to make sure it never happens here. We should never tolerate any religion or lifestyle that espouses such cruel practices.
