Goofs
Noah asks Olivia how to spell the word "believe" and her response is "let's sound it out" whereupon Noah recites B-E-L-I-E-V-E. However, if one were actually going by how the word sounds, it would be B-E-L-E-V-E. The "i" is silent.

Quotes
Peter Stone: What Ms. Ziegler just lambasted weren't assumptions. They were hate-filled stereotypes. So what do we know? We know that Nahla Nasar is a lesbian. We know that her former husband knew it too. We know that his religion tells him that homosexuality is immoral and punishable by death. We know he was at the scene of the crime at the time the crime was committed, and we know that Ms. Nasar ID'd him as her rapist. We know that. Those are the facts. That's what we know. Now, what do we do? We look at those facts, and we assume he raped her. It's okay. That's the way our system works.

definitely not that bad

Something different and i don't get why people are saying it is so bad. and the representation of the extreme muslim in comparison with the lesbian muslim is a true example of our modern world and a really good idea.
