I hope the example of Saddam Hussein will give a lesson to leaders of other countries where human rights are not respected.

Islam is not an excuse for thwarting democracy.

People are fundamentally good. But conditions deteriorate them.

When a person is humiliated, when his rights are being violated, and he does not have the proper education, naturally he gravitates toward terrorism.

When you vote, vote for those who are not warmongers, and vote for those who respect human rights. When you see a president who doesn't respect human rights, don't vote for that person.

Akbar Ganji is a human rights activist in Iran and he works on freedom of expression and he does his job very well.

Certainly, the fight against terrorism is a legitimate fight. And certainly whoever commits terrorism should be brought to justice.
