Goodreads Quotes
EVERY MAN AND WOMAN needs to watch this NOW! WOW — the most powerful movie I’ve everrrr seen. I truly believe in the old adage, “A nation is not conquered until the hearts of its women are on the ground.” 
This is a true story. Unfortunately, it’s one of the thousands that continue to happen around the world. And *full disclosure* — this is not about Islamaphobia and a hatred for Muslims, or a hatred of religion in general. This is the story of how people use RELIGIOUS FUNDAMENTALISM to manipulate others. This is a warning to our own country, where religious fundamentalism has gripped our culture and politics for the past 4 years, spreading its stench of hate. This is about human rights…. 
It’s ALSO about cowardice. People who are too afraid to speak up or stand up and ALLOW terrible things to happen because they are too scared or because it does not serve their own personal gain. Fear is how the ‘yes men’ happen, how people are able to carry out holocausts under the orders of some psychopathic dictator. SPEAK UP, every chance you get, or you’re part of the problem.
