Greetings,
You may be interested to know that a documentary series titled SEX SCANDALS IN RELIGION is currently airing on VisionTV in Canada (Mondays, May 9th to 30th at 10:30p on Vision TV). This compelling, original documentary series takes an unprecedented look at controversial incidents in four mainstream faiths and their ensuing repercussions. Perhaps not comparable to the sheer volume in the Catholic Church, these cases present situations prevalent enough to merit exposure and censure. The series is produced by the award winning Cogent/Benger Productions Inc.
Ep. 1: IN THE NAME OF THE AYATOLLAH
This episode focuses on chilling reports that the Mullahs of Iran used
the Holy Koran to authorize violent gang rape and sodomy.

communities.
