"If a man is accused of infidelity by his wife, she must prove his guilt, but if a woman is accused, she must prove her innocence"
I just finished watching the touching true story "The Stoning of Soraya M." and I'm still shocked and disturbed by its contents.Soraya's husband had her stoned after accusing her of adultery, even though she was completely innocent. I cannot imagine the injustice of this as I sit here in my American suburb, but I can feel the terror and the pain. I respect religious ideas, but I do not respect injustice through religion. It breaks my heart to here them say "Allah is great", as they murder women and get there pleasures. The law that gives them permission to do this is called Sharia which is practiced throughout Iran,Afghanistan,Nigeria, and other places around the world. This law puts entirely too much power into the hands of men and allows them to obstruct justice for their own means, the world sees the after-effects when its placed in the hands of sadistic men like Soraya's husband. I am looking through Google as I type to to find something that I could do to help these women,Soraya's brave aunt gave them a small voice,but it needs to become LOUDER! I am never for the taking away of peoples rights,but I am all for justice and if that means the end of the horrible infidelity law above, I pray to God that it happens.
You cannot call something law unless its seeks justice for ALL the people it applies to people. These Arabian women deserve a voice to keep their blood from crying out to us all!
