The Idea Of Cultural Relativism Is Nothing

Any Person Who Pursues Human Rights In Iran Must Live With Fear From Birth To Death, But I Have Learned To Overcome My Fear.

I Have Said Many Times That I Wish There Was No Oil In The Middle East, And More Water. People Would Have Been Much Happier Than They Are Right Now.

Contrary To What Certain Governments Say, Human Rights Are Universal. Arbitrary Detention, Torture And Discrimination Hurt The Human Dignity Of Anybody, Whatever His Or Her Country Of Origin, Religion, Descent, Or Any Other Ground.

The Fight Against Terrorism Is A Legitimate Fight. And Certainly Whoever Commits Terrorism Should Be Brought To Justice. Unfortunately, The United States And A Few Other Governments Have Used The War On Terrorism As A Way Of Violating Human Rights.

It's Perfectly Ok That There Are Certain People Who Do Not Accept Islam At All. Therefore, To Announce That I Am A Muslim Can Rub Some People The Wrong Way. But My Aim Is To Show That Those Governments That Violate The Rights Of People By Invoking The Name Of Islam Have Been Misusing Islam. They Violate These Rights And Then Seek Refuge Behind The Argument That Islam Is Not Compatible With Freedom And Democracy. But This Is Basically To Save Face. In Fact, I'm Promoting Democracy. And I'm Saying That Islam Is Not An Excuse For Thwarting Democracy.
