highlighted is how Islam is a strict religion

However, on the other hand, this film brought
tears to my eyes, because it depicts how
women do not have the right and voice to
defend themselves.From a humanitarian
perspective, it is clear that the practice of
"stoning" violates human rights.It is sad how
slander can destroy the life of a human being.
