As far as Raisi is concerned, he really is a defender of human rights, because he was acting in defense of an Islamic regime based on Sharia, and there are no genuine human rights apart from those acknowledged in Sharia. The rights of those he had murdered don’t matter, for they were enemies of the Islamic regime, and hence of Allah.
“Iran’s president-elect says he won’t negotiate over missiles,” Associated Press, June 21, 2021:
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Iran’s president-elect says he’s not willing to negotiate over Tehran’s ballistic missile program, nor its support of regional militias.
Ebrahim Raisi made the comment at a news conference Monday after winning Iran’s election Friday in a landslide.
The U.S., now hoping to get Iran back into its 2015 nuclear deal, had hoped to negotiate over other issues as well.
THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. AP’s earlier story follows below.
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Iran’s president-elect says he’s not willing to meet President Joe Biden.
Ebrahim Raisi, when asked about possibly meeting Biden, simply said: “No.”…
Meanwhile, Raisi called himself “a defender of human rights” after being asked directly about his involvement in the 1988 mass executions of some 5,000 people. Raisi was part of a so-called “death panel” that sentenced political prisoners to death at the end of the 1980s Iran-Iraq war….

When you think about it, the Left’s and Muslim’s hatred of Western Civilization will Never Change this:
Using the Method for Learning How to Think called COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS, you see that the West is composed of 2 influences:
1.Greek Rationalism: Application of Reason,Logic to Society
2.The Ethical Law of Jesus: Golden Rule/Law of Reciprocity.
THE RESULT
Both combined resulted in a Very Strong Tradition in Western Civilization TIME after TIME, after TIME, after TIME, after TIME, known as SELF-CRITIQUE.
Greek Rationalism proved the Tools, and the Ethical Law provided the Motivation.
NO ( and I repeat NO ) EXTERNAL INFLUENCE
When you look at the Details you find out that:
1.The Ideas of Francisco de Vitoria (Father of International Law)
2.The Ideas of the Founders of the Age of Enlightenment: Roger Williams and John Locke ( both Christians), specifically Locke’s belief all are both with 3 Natural Rights:
Right to Life, to Property and to Liberty.
3.The Ideas of Lafayette: who wrote the Declaration of the Rights of Man (Human Rights),etc,etc,etc.
ALL of it CAME OUT of ideas floating in Western culture: NO influence on those intellectuals from:
Islamic culture,Buddhism, Hinduism,Confucianism.
SELF-CRITIQUE in NON-WESTERN AREAS
In Their Cases it was due to WESTERN influence ( reading the ideas of Western intellectuals) that people ( intellectuals ) in Africa,East Asia, the Muslim world, India,
began to use as a STANDARD that of HUMAN RIGHTS to critique and try to change Their Cultures to the Human Rights Standard.

Under Sharia law, only Muslims have actual rights. The dhimmis and other kafirs may have temporary and provisional PRIVILEGES that may be taken away at the whim and convenience of Muslims with little or no consequences to the Muslims, even when they are acknowledged to be in the wrong. The only final solution to living in an Islamic Berzerkistan is to leave it.
Now, these Death Cult fanatics are emigrating to civilized, free countries where they immediately start the process of turning them into Berzerkistans.
gregbeetham says
Mortimer, I think you’ve nailed why the cult of Satan should be reclassified as a dangerous subversive cult and banned from each Western country and all Muslims returned to sender.

Good posts, Brando and Mortimer.

Hopefully Biden is not going to send a lot of Americans over there to be slaughtered for nothing.
The Middle East is a quagmire, like Obama said once, and Trump did what was right, to get Americans out of there.
As long as oil is flowing, and the USA has got its own oil now, the USA should not worry.
In Western Europe, where I live, we depend on it, and that is a different case. Unfortunately the Generals and Kings from before, that did lead armies themselves with great risk, are replaced by highly paid EU bureaucrats, that do not risk nothing themselves, are unelected, and enjoy highly paid jobs within non transparent networks.
As a European I worry more for my own sons.

“…the Generals and Kings from before, that did lead armies themselves with great risk, are replaced by highly paid EU bureaucrats, that do not risk nothing themselves, are unelected, and enjoy highly paid jobs within non transparent networks.”
Correct. The EU bureaucrats really have no skin in the game – at least for now.
And therein lies the problem…
Fred van de Bunt says
As I notice the East Asians have impenetrable lines of defence.
No Islam is being able to get its Trojan horse inside over there. It seems even to me that they clean out the miserable shit that Mohammed causes for ages now in the Middle East.
I still wander why nowadays Western “leaders” are so horny about that sharia law Islam of that totalitarian warlord Mohammed?

Joe-mentia’s crumbling weakness and bumbling confusion will invite the Iranian mullahs to more aggression.
Walter Sieruk says
Iran’s President , Rasis sure has much gall , lying Islamic gall, to say he is a “defender of human rights.”
For that sadistic cruel murderous fiend is ,in reality a blatant violator of human rights in and despicable vicious ways That liar and hypocrite was and is behind many ruthless abuses of basic rights o of human beings.
For example of the many heinously evils outcome s of that Islamic “revolution” is the extremely cruel, brutal and demonic misogyny of this hideous Islamic regime. Not only against women but even young girls. As explained by a former Iranian Revolutionary Guard member who defected to the West and now lives in America his book also informs the reader about the malicious and murderous affront girls in Iran’s Evin prison which reads that those in power ,the “paraded teenage girls in front in front of me as they led them to their deaths. These girls were barely out of their childhood, barely old enough to think of themselves, much less form thoughts against the state. They knew nothing about the machinations of politics. They were innocent in every sense of the word and certainty innocent of trumped –up charges that led to their imprisonment. Yet they suffered fates too brutal for even the most vicious criminal. ..Their few remaining moments of life had been filled with the level of abuse that few can imagine…The author further states “They tortured and killed young girls, in God’s name and before their execution they raped them because they believed that if a girl dies virgin, she will go to heaven, and they wanted to deny them this reward.” [1]
This affront against human rights is as malice -filled and viciously wicked as can possibly be.

Iran’s murderous president-elect unwilling to meet with Biden, calls himself ‘defender of human rights’
……………….
More proof that Biden’s appeasement has just emboldened the Iranian thugs.
Jim says
This is the sort of leader that appeals to leftists in the US. They break eggs and make omelettes. What could be better. Gets things done. And of course the ayatollah is the one who really decides and has the last say. And of course Iran has a better educational system and health care than under the shah. So who is complaining. What is there not to like? Joe will get along wonderfully with him, just as Chamberlain got along with Adolf.
Walter Sieruk says
What an outright liar Rasis is . For that future future of Iran is .For he upholds Sharia law , which is a a brutal cruel harsh law that is foundation law of that oppressive Islamic “mullah regime” of Iran.
Sharia law denies basic human rights.
Furthermore, it should be made known that the actual origin of Sharia law is revealed in a Time –Life book with the title MESOPOTAMIA: THE MIGHTY KINGS copyright 1995. The point is this history book about the ancient pagan world of Mesopotamia informs the reader that “many Islamic laws resemble the Babylon and Assyrian forebears.” .page 150.
There is the above and other references imply that such pagan teachings were incorporated into the religion that Muhammad manufactured and then started.
Thus this further reveals that a lot of ancient paganism is part of the whole religion of Islam.
In other words, ancient paganism makes up much of Islam. Therefore Islam is a hoax.
Walter Sieruk says
Well , i did it again for that second sentence of this above essay of mine should have read “That future President of Iran. ” So bad this site doesn’t have an edit key.
Nevertheless ,we may all be sure that Rasis when he becomes Iran’s President will keep on being a cruel terrible oppressive abuser of human rights .
Only the uninformed naive people will trust his empty lying words.
tim gallagher says
What strikes me all the time with these Muslims is what a completely upside down world they inhabit. This mass murderous butcher says that he is a defender of human rights and probably believes it. These vermin live on another planet. That’s what islam does to the human mind. It produces endless inhuman monsters like this maggot. Islam is totally incompatible with the concept of human rights that any civilised people have. The main thing we need to do is wake up to the fact that none of these barbaric Muslims should be allowed to live in non-Muslim countries. They always bring their completely incompatible, upside down view of things to any place they are allowed to go.
Walter Sieruk says
That despicable ,vicious and President -elect of Iran has also been ,justifiably called the”hangman of Iran” which is a very fitting title for him. As during the 1980’s he was the chief of that Islamic regimes “”Death Committee” which was responsible for the murder of many people.
Still that murderous malicious fiend has the lying gall to call himself a “defender of human rights ‘ What a liar.
Walter Sieruk says
Rasis has been justifiably accused of being guilty of “crimes against humanity.”
John Lloyd Scharf says
In his world there are no genuine human rights apart from those acknowledged in Sharia because there are no HUMANS apart from those who acknowledge Muhammadanism. We are all either monkeys or pigs to him. Typical psychopathic dehumanization of others.
