The Stoning: Real human rights vs. counterfeit human rights - Ezra Levant

One of the things that is most execrable about Canada's so-called human rights commissions is that they trade on the words "human rights". And, like counterfeit money devaluing real money, their counterfeit human rights, like the "human right" not to be offended, devalue the term that once was reserved for real rights like freedom of religion, the equality of men and women before the law, and the right to be free from violence.

Which is why I'm excited about a new movie by Cyrus Nowrasteh called The Stoning of Soraya M. Unlike most of Hollywood, which is dead silent in the face of human rights violations in the Muslim world (or, in cases like Sean Penn, positively excuse the fascism of foreign dictators), Nowrasteh has created a blistering indictment of the ayatollahs' misogyny and violence. Take a look at this trailer:

That's pretty powerful and it looks beautifully produced. The journalist is played by Jim Caviezel, from The Count of Monte Christo. He also played Jesus in Mel Gibson's The Passion.
