	Looking for real human rights, by Arzu Merali in Q-News
		In the meantime, human rights is used by the ‘west’ (yes, I am demonising the ‘other’) as a stick with which to beat Muslims and actually (though we tend to imagine we’re the only demonised and oppressed people of the world) many other cultures and belief systems.
		It is a legacy of Islamic sentiment that we are able to understand that where we sit as Muslim nation states or Muslims in minority situations, we are in a mess.
		Human rights or the idea that we as Muslims treat each other and ‘others’ abominably and that left to our own religious devices we would be unable to do little else, is an idea that has permeated Muslim thinking, even those deemed traditionalist or anti-modern, fundamentalists or whatever.

	An Interview with Mohammad Hossein Ziaee
		This group, after holding numerous sessions, established the structure and the objectives of the commission within a statute, which was approved by the founders and organizers in the middle of (the Islamic month of) Shaban two years ago, and, in fact, the Islamic Human Rights Commission was born at that time.
		It is clear that the training should be in various fields; the topic of human rights has a wide scope, such as the right to live, the right to non-discrimination in the society, the right to enjoy equal opportunities, the right to free expression, and many other rights.
		By using this syllabus (which includes international human rights) and combining it with the Islamic criteria of human rights with which the internal professors are familiar, we shall produce a new syllabus with special chapter headings, and we shall specify the sources as well.

		In that regard, the Special Representative recommends that the Commission move quickly to begin publishing a detailed description of the types of complaints it is receiving, of the interventions it is making and of the success it is having in reversing the conduct that gives rise to the complaints.

		When it comes to human rights, Muslims have had a tended to take one of two approaches, either failing to see any inconsistency or contradiction between Islamic rights talk and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), or rejecting any discourse outright, on the grounds that human rights talk is un-Islamic.
		This stands in stark contrast to the hierarchical didacticism of human rights discourse, which claims that its upper strata are composed of subjects who have attained to the objective reality of justice, whilst objectifying those it deems either incapable of such a stage, or backward in their progress.
		The significance of this verse as regards universality and rights is profound.
