Forbidden Lie$ - 5/10

In Forbidden Lies, filmmaker Anna Broinowski investigates the case of Norma Khouri Bagain, a Jordanian women who wrote the best selling Forbidden Love, a supposedly nonfiction book about an 'honor killing' that allegedly took place in Amman. Forbidden Love book was interpreted by many Jordanians, including prominent women, as an misrepresentation of Islam. As the book's errors and impossibilities were pointed out, Khouri's story and reputation began to fall apart.

Ha! Great reasoning by her hubby! She lied and conned the public; together they conned people in Chicago out a US$ 1,000,000.00--but it's the people who uncover the lies and cons that are the bad guys. What a bunch of pathological liars!

@creepingdeath211 What you're saying is true - there are still other problems humanity has to face. But the fact that she lied not only discredits her but the entire cause and trivialised it, almost. So I guess there is great reason for outrage, especially by the journalist Rana Hussein who has spent most of her life working for and researching honour killings only to have her academic integrity ripped to shreds by some shoddy con-artist.

the world's just pissed off cos she fooled everyone. She may be a liar but she did it in style, and why the hell are we obsessed with this problem when they're tons of problems outside are more important to find solutions for.
