I'...Thanks for telling us about your experience. I'm sorry about the condition of women in Iran. You have many courageous people in Iran who are protesting for reform (the green revolution)! Our hearts and prayers are with them. Yes--Iranians are great people--from the noble and ancient Persian culture!

I am 17.We do not have any stoning in Iran but in our country girls are ignored. for example in entrance exam for university they choose 70% of their students from boys and only 30% of them will be girl.If i start to talk about women problems in Iran its a long story.I go to NODET high school in Iran and we study hard and we have hard lessons but in entrance exam martyrs families have especial quota. in Iran every thing turns to religious and your talent will be ignored.i agree that Iranians are kind but we have stupid religious rules against women and its cause of our cruel government.but Iranian people are cultured and kind.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11789157.post-14611611632465619222010-03-12T12:11:31.456-06:002010-03-12T12:11:31.456-06:00Dear Anonymous,
Thanks for your comment. This even...Dear Anonymous,<br />Thanks for your comment. This event really did happen, but it wasn't all of Iran, just some evil people (mainly Soraya's husband). I think most (intelligent) Americans know that Iranians are wonderful people (I knew many in Southern California). I think the point of the film is that politically repressive regimes can encourage a twisting of religion to evil ends, or can allow people to return to harsh, archaic ways of living a religion.
