Comments on Sultan Knish: An Understated Stoning

I have seen the mov on the movie this past weekend. It was an incredible movie. If it is not a piece of realism at its best, I do not know what could do justice to such a despicable practice fulled by deep mysogynistic impulses covered by religious bigotry and hate.

As for the film critics, the moonbats are what they are, and do and think what they do and think regardless of the facts. To suggest that the movie lacks nuances and and subtle messages about stoning is ridiculously naive...

What bothers me the most is the dead and mute silence of the feminist movement, the so called leftist gender equality movement. But who cares, once they reach their ivory towers and their academic publications anything that does not fit the pre-ordained paradigm is not worth mentioning even in clear evidence of perpetual mysogynistics cultural practices in Islamic countries.... what a shame.......

It is said that every normal person is liberal in their youth:

"if you weren't liberal when you were young you're without heart; and if you're not a conservative when you've grown up, you're without brains."

Listening to the brilliant Evan Sayet's lectures about Why Liberals Always Support the Worst, and remembering my own past illusions and dreams, I've come to see the liberals as holding on to their youthful dreams of "good world", unwilling to wake up to the Reality around them, holding fast to their PINK GLASSES.

Here's the CORE of it all: if the world is Good and people are Nice, I'M NO BETTER than anyone else. The terrorists are no worse than whom they kill; it's their victims fault - the Jews, the neocons, the stubborn "redneck" patriot "warmongers" fault.

That's the vision that their DENIAL preserves - if the most cruel are actually nice but misunderstood people, all is well in their Fantasy World and life is Nice and Easy and the World makes sense again, as it once did in the protected, cushy 3 years old's Home.

it's not the issue they want to attract attention to, because they can't make it work for them

It is unimaginable to think that you might be stoned to death. There is no way to nuance it or any other death by torture. How would a filmmaker portray this but as a blunt instrument? Not a scrap of real drama or finesse? There is no way to finesse a stoning, and if the scene does not depict real drama, then what could? Obviouly, this film didn't have that artsy "Indie" feel to it that critics love so much.

You are right Sultan. The Left doesn't want their little world rocked with the cruelty of Islam - not just cruelty to women but to men and young boys also. And they certainly do not want to "need" to defend Islam, because that is what they feel they must do, when push comes to shove. It's much easier to have no movies, no stories, no blogs about the true nature of Islam. It's just a nicer world that way.

It's the Brzezinski's Grand Global Management Strategy for Obama to implement.

It is UNIFY (with EU top 3), ENLARGE (by including China, Russia etc), ENGAGE (regional powers like Iran by ACCOMMODATING them) and PACIFY (Israel, specifically).

All in the name of Stability.

Stunning, depraved hypocrisy from the leftist "critics". We live in an upside world, where black is white, good is bad and terrorists are just missunderstood oppressed people. Why should those critics see anything of value in the struggle of this Iranian woman to make westerners understand the depravity of Islamic laws? Their world, empty of values is too dogmatic to let reality spoil their vision

2009-06-28T17:36:12.691-04:00

There was this joke in Soviet Union about freedom, "an American tells to a Russian, ''we have freedom! I can go to the White House and shout out 'Reagan is a stupid fool!' ''. Yes, yes, replies the Russian, we have freedom too! I too can go to the Red Square and shout out: 'Reagan is a stupid fool!' "

Kinda what moronicliberals do today with their allowed groupthink recitations which replaces free thinking for them.

2009-06-28T16:43:55.803-04:00

not sure if this is relevant but this post made me think of something Rav. Kook said in the book Orot:

(I'm paraphrasing): Some nations are using their power of imagination too much and the intellect is diminishing. The problem w/that is that that type of imagination (not stemming from Torah bases) lead to judgments (din)in the world.

I'll add poor judgment on the part of the nations!

Also, in Pirke Avot it state that the world stands on three things, among them is kindness. It seems these stoners, etc., are trying to make the world stand on the opposite of kindness!

2009-06-28T14:04:21.155-04:00

You're absolutely right. The film makers and the activists are very brave.

Liberals harped on the WMD issue with Iraq but totally ignored the matter of S. Hussein's 200,000 murder and torture victims and how one victim wasn't allowed to testify at his trial because he was too young at just 10 years old.

When you hear the blood curdling screams of Iranian women when they're arrested by morals police and the fate many of them face you can't help but care.

Mousavi might be no better than Ahmadinejad but I have no doubt in my mind that the protesters are fighting against more than a rigged election.

The screaming these women do when they're arrested is deeper than fear or anger--it's abject terror.

2009-06-28T11:18:42.043-04:00

One of the reasons why Iranian people have been unsuccessful in changing the Islamic laws is becuaes of the heavy support that these Western Leftists give the Islamic government. for years activists have tried to make molesting children over the age of 9 illegal(its considered mariage). but they can't becuaes the prophet ! of Islam liked to molest children. These activists can't make too much noise becuase they will be imprisoned, savagely tortured and even killed for 'destroying the honor of Islam among the Western enemies'.already too many stonings have happened during the last few years, some without prior notice becuase they didn't want a riot by people and no one was able to stop them.
If the people who made these movie ever step in Iran, they will be killled. They are even facing danger in the U.S. They are extremly brave.

2009-06-28T05:23:54.404-04:00

Steven Spielberg certainly had no trouble being blunt in the final scene of Munich in which the character Avner walks away, with the WTC towers quite prominent in the background.

Subtle as a train wreck.

Liberals are hypocrites. First they want us to be understanding towards Muslims. Little catch--they want us to be sympathetic to violent Muslims, not their victims.

It makes me wonder how Hollywood would film the ending of the film Midnight Express in 2009.

Would they have the American prison Billy Hayes beat the Turkish guard, put on is uniform and walk out to freedom and escape to Greece?

Powerful movie ending BTW. Sigh. I often wish Gilad Shalit's ordeal would end as Billy Hayes' did.

Shavua tov, Sultan:)

2009-06-28T04:20:37.767-04:00

Imagine making a movie about a Jew murdered by Islamic fanatics, let's say, like the rabbi & his preganat wife tortured, sexually abused, & then slaughtered by Islamic thugs in Mumbai?
How about a movie about Iraqi Christians or Egyptian Copts?
You would get the same reaction.
How about a movie about a gay man in a Muslim country?
Leaving for a moment the abomination of the stoning of an innocent woman, just make a movie about the every day life of a few Muslim women, something that I saw EVERY DAY when I lived in an Arab country - the abuse, exploitation, the crushing of the human spirit, the psychological oppression, the insecurity, the deep depression of many leaving them apathetic & passive.
These movie reviewers are glib morally dead fools, lost in a delusion, spouting meaningless BS about things their intellectually shallow minds cannot comprehend.

Actually there is a Middle East country, a democracy with free and fair elections and real freedom of expression, which is figuratively "stoned" all the time with unfair, unjust, false, unreasonably bitter criticism, even by her supposed allies. But I won't name any names here.

2009-06-28T03:07:14.821-04:00

They have no idea the depth of the brutality or depravily plumbed in the name of Islam. Or they can't be bothered. I'm including a link they should be forced to watch. But like all PC jackasses they fall all over themselves explainging to us lowly unsophisticated peons that it's just a small minority of the Muslims -- a small percentage plowing humanity under.

If you don't post it, I'll know why.

Reporters and critics are snotty.
That's a given.

Journalists long ago forgot to report just the facts and began to add in all sorts of nuance and opinion to their 'reports'.
Basics elude them now.
They think they are the intelligencia.
I don't care what a journalist thinks about anything.
Journalism is a job any 8th grader could do .but journalists don't realize that . too bad.
