Democracy Is Not An Incident

Akbar Ganji Was In Prison For Six Years, And That Was It...for Six Years, And It Was Finished. Of Course The Iranian Government Could Make Up Some Stories And Accuse Him Of Some Other Things, But The International Support Didn't Let The Government Do That.

The Condition Of Women In Islamic Societies As A Whole Is Far From Desirable. However, We Should Acknowledge That There Are Differences. In Certain Countries, The Conditions Are Much Better And In Others Much Worse. For Example, The Conditions Women Face Even In Egypt Differ A Whole Lot From What Their Iranian Counterparts Deal With. The Condition Of Women In Pakistan Is Far Different From That In Saudi Arabia. This Shows That You Can Have Different Interpretations Of Islam.

Democracy Doesn't Recognize East Or West; Democracy Is Simply People's Will. Therefore, I Do Not Acknowledge That There Are Various Models Of Democracy; There Is Just Democracy Itself.

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.

Democracy Doesn't Recognize East Or West And Democracy Is Simply People's Will. Therefore, I Do Not Acknowledge That There Are Various Models Of Democracy; There Is Just Democracy Itself.
