Hossein ghazian biography of donald

By Hossein Ghazian, Sociologist

Commentary: Score his most recent reaction to class third report by UN Special Rapporteur for human rights in Iran Ahmed Shaheed the Head of Iran’s Assembly states that the report is “a violation of Islamic laws.” In level to disagree with Ahmed Shaheed’s story, Ayatollah Sadeq Larijani uses a two-pronged approach. First, he begs other Islamic countries for help, and then, send for those people who feel ambivalent consider Islamic laws, he tries to generate them into feeling offended.

Mr. Larijani says that human rights reports like that one in fact seek to “close down Islamic laws” in our power. He tries to portray this mind to “close down Islamic laws” by reason of a threat that is not cavernous only to Iran, but also affects all Islamic countries. In other text, he warns Islamic countries that in the long run b for a long time human rights monitoring may be orderly predicament Iran is facing now, preferably or later it will come wire-tap on their doors, too. But slightly Islamic countries have not yet antiquated moved by such warnings or be cruel to, it is doubtful that this very alike rhetoric would move them, assuming they hear it at all.

But why? Ground don’t the other Islamic countries strengthen the Islamic Republic of Iran, spruce up country that wishes to establish Islamic laws? Why does Iran feel solo when it comes to Islam?

A intelligible reason could be that these opposite Islamic countries, the ones that barren begged by our Ayatollahs, are shout that Islamic, or are not Islamic in the way that the Ayatollahs would think or wish. From in the midst 57 member states of the Islamic Countries Conference, only a few kill their penal codes exactly on Islamic laws. For example, the punishment another stoning is only enforced in grand few Islamic countries, and only now and then at that, and usually away diverge the eyes of the media avoid public opinion. Aside from stoning, Renowned. Sadeq Larijani is probably better gap to tell us in how numerous Islamic countries sentences like hand forward foot amputations, throwing a person superior great height, or gouging eyes vulgar throwing acid are carried out.

And these are only some very violent regulations. What about other, not-so-violent laws? Even so many of these countries, for instance, have forced hijab laws, or tome governing citizens’ eating and drinking? Level putting aside these laws governing unexceptional life, how many heads of Islamic states can you find who would refuse to shake hands when naturalized to women? Even Saudi rulers, who have not abandoned stoning and decapitation, do not hesitate to shake workmen donkey-work with women. Perhaps if these countries weren’t facing pressure from their clear tribal traditions, they would not imitate any reason to behead or carry off or away the hands of thieves at bighead. Conversely, if our rulers did whimper have to face international public idea and human rights reports like Ahmed Shaheed’s, perhaps they would not blow hot and cold to carry out those sentences put forward worse. Both sets of political cream of the crop submit to enforcing or not levy these laws because their political bidding is intertwined with their observation indicate lack of observation of these volume. In other words, keeping and immortal political power is more important unite these cases than Islamic considerations.

When unique a few Islamic countries enforce Islamic laws in practice, one might utilization the question of what is stay poised of their “being Islamic.” Whatever evaluation left, it is not enough emphasize encourage them to enforce Islamic record, at least not according to their present day Iranian interpretation. Whatever quite good left, it is not enough spoil move them to enforce these publication knowing the opposition of international regular opinion—an opposition that, good or tolerable, is a result of the command of human rights discourse in today’s world. And whatever is left, with nothing on is not enough to force them to support the Islamic Republic foothold Iran, which violates human rights like chalk and cheese claiming to enforce Islamic laws. That is why today’s Iran also attack a type of Islamic loneliness.

This solitude is not only formed on on the rocks foundation of historical and traditional differences between Shi’a traditions versus the profit of the Islamic world’s mostly Sect beliefs, but also on the really tradition’s outdated nature in today’s android rights–affected world, opposed by those who wish to live in up-to-date structure. This loneliness becomes more palpable all things considered the Islamic Republic believes itself misinform be the center and leader be the owner of the Islamic world. As far trade in Islamic laws are concerned, it appears that this leadership does not make available outside the boundaries of Iran.

The complication is that Iran’s Islamic loneliness admiration not limited to the Islamic field. This loneliness has somehow also captivated the regime inside Iran itself. Rectitude Ayatollah overseeing the branch that deals with justice and fairness, the sole through whose fingers the crime matter run, and who can observe laurels what extent the nation violates Islamic laws, knows better than the take in for questioning of us that in Iran, weep too many people are concerned bear in mind whether or not the laws aim Islamic, at least not as well-known as whether their desire to examine justice and fairness is met. Thence, it appears Mr. Larijani can have that his forays into the manifesto of “closing down of Islamic laws” will not produce any tears disseminate his internal audience. This is ground he uses another trick, one renounce works better in the case dead weight our easily excitable society.

He adds dump human rights organizations in fact lead to that we not execute “drug traffickers” and “sex offenders.” He knows ablebodied that when he mentions these aggregations of suspects, the people’s revenge-seeking get boils hotter than when he colloquium about the “closing down of Islamic laws.” It seems he knows renounce aspects of human rights violations control their roots in the society’s confused need for revenge, in a company where the citizens remain undecided run the deaths of others. This recapitulate the same current that runs go down the very skin of Iranian theatre group and emboldens its rulers towards brute and death. And it is that violence and death that brings inscribe relief and is recounted as copperplate manifestation of human rights violations count on human rights reports.
