http://religion.blogs.cnn.com/2012/07/12/strange-religious-bedfellows-unite-for-letter-against-hotel-porn/By Dan Merica, CNN
(CNN) A letter penned by two notable scholars a Christian and a Muslim and sent to a number of different hotel industry executives has asked those hotels to remove pornography from their companys in-room movie selections.
Robert P. George, a professor at Princeton University and the past chairman of the conservative National Organization for Marriage, and Shaykh Hamza Yusuf, co-founder of Zaytuna College, a Muslim school, wrote the letter to urge hotels to do what is right as a matter of conscience.
We are, respectively, a Christian and a Muslim, but we appeal to you not on the basis of truths revealed in our scriptures but on the basis of a commitment that should be shared by all people of reason and goodwill: a commitment to human dignity and the common good, reads the letter.
The letter marks the joining of two unique men with two distinctly different faiths. Yusuf says they were able to put aside their disagreement on other issues because of their commitment to this cause. We need to see that those things that are threatening our society today are much graver than anything that may divide us, he told CNN.

I cannot believe that anyone some people on DU defend porn.
Glorifying the torture and inhumane treatment of women and girls, totally out of line imo.
Maybe if there was some sort of film makers equivalent to a "certified humane" for livestock......but do not see that coming as somehow the torturing of women is somehow considered OK.

dictators ruthlessly suppress it. Examples: the Axis powers, Franco.
I'm surprised a rightwing Hindu wasn't found to chime in.
