   Is "Not Without My Daughter" a comment on Islam? Or about Persia (Iran)?
Or about one man who endured a considerable amount of stress and insulting
behavior by members of a different ethnic/social/cultural/religious/
national group?
   What about the shopkeeper who helped her? What about the Kurds who
helped her? They appeared to be moslem also. What does their behavior
say about Islam?
   I enjoyed the movie, but am trying to resist its propaganda message--
That Islam is the culprit --  simply because I know that the message
is simplistic, distorted, and misleading.  I know of fundamentalist
christians who would subjugate women if they could.
   I know of lots of christian men who abuse their spouses. Does this
lead me to condemn christianity?
   Let's get a little perspective in this thread.*SHEESH!*
