ISLAM AND UNIVERSAL HUMAN RIGHTS ARE NOT COMPATIBLE

mt2014-no-holds-barred
So that means you only have rights within the Sharia and as long as you do not violate the Sharia. And if you leave Islam and proclaim the Qur’an as a fake book and not from God and that Muhammad was not a prophet but a lunatic, that would be a violation of the Sharia and you would lose your rights.
NO HOLDS BARRED
Raja Petra Kamarudin
The Suhakam Chairman, Hasmy Agam, said the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) signed in December 1948 is compatible with Islam (SEE THE NEWS ITEM BELOW). Actually Malaysia is not a signatory to that document because Malaya did not exist until 1957. Malaysia is, however, a signatory to the August 1990 Cairo Declaration on Human Rights in Islam (CDHRI).
Both, though, are not compatible to Islam. So Hasmy Agam is wrong.
For example, Article 18 of the UDHR says that “Everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion; this right includes freedom to change his religion or belief, and freedom, either alone or in community with others and in public or private, to manifest his religion or belief in teaching, practice, worship and observance.”
Islam does not allow this and neither does Malaysia. Muslims cannot convert to another religion or become an atheist and Christians cannot preach Christianity to Muslims.
Article 6 of the CDHRI says that women are equal to men. In Islam women are not equal to men. You can have one man as a witness but not one woman as a witness. Men can divorce their wives by just saying ‘I divorce you’ while women cannot. The widow, the daughters and the sons do not get equal share of an inheritance. Men can marry four wives but women cannot marry four husbands.
Actually, Islam views wives as the property of the husband. Men can leave the house any time they wish to but if a wife leaves the house without permission the husband can divorce her.
Article 10 of the UDHR says there must not be any detention without trial. Many countries, the US included, do not practice this. Islam is silent on the matter.
Article 12 of the UDHR says, “No one shall be subjected to arbitrary interference with his privacy, family, home or correspondence.” But the religious authorities can enter your home or hotel room and arrest you if you commit what Islam views as a crime such as drinking, gambling, extramarital sex, close proximity, etc.
Article 12 of the CDHRI, however, says, “Every man shall have the right, within the framework of the Sharia, to free movement and to select his place of residence whether within or outside his country and if persecuted, is entitled to seek asylum in another country. The country of refuge shall be obliged to provide protection to the asylum-seeker until his safety has been attained, unless asylum is motivated by committing an act regarded by the Sharia as a crime.”
So that means you only have rights within the Sharia and as long as you do not violate the Sharia. And if you leave Islam and proclaim the Qur’an as a fake book and not from God and that Muhammad was not a prophet but a lunatic, that would be a violation of the Sharia and you would lose your rights.
So tell me, which part of Islam is compatible with universal human rights?

Suhakam: Human rights not at odds with Islam
(Free Malaysia Today) – Suhakam has taken issue with the Putrajaya administration’s approach to human rights, particularly its attempt to distance Islam from universal values.
In a press statement today, Suhakam Chairman Hasmy Agam said fundamental and universally accepted human rights were an integral part of Islam and not contrary in any way to the religion’s tenets.
The statement followed a speech Prime Minister Najib Razak gave on Tuesday, in which he said Malaysia could not defend human rights values that were at odds with Islam.
Hasmy described the government’s approach to human rights as “narrow,” saying it essentially opposed the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR).
Hasmy pointed out that the Cairo Declaration on Human Rights in Islam (CDHRI), a declaration of the member states of the Organisation of the Islamic Conference (OIC), guarantees many of the rights described in the UDHR while affirming their source in the Syariah.
“The 30 articles of the UDHR are not contrary to the tenets of Islam,” he said. “The Commission regrets the many myths and misunderstandings that have sprung up about the concept of human rights, in particular the construal and superficial understanding of human rights in Malaysia.”
He cited Article 1 of the Cairo declaration, which states that “all men are equal in terms of basic human dignity and basic obligations and responsibilities, without any discrimination on the grounds of race, colour, language, sex, religious belief, political affiliation, social status or other considerations.”
Hasmy said Malaysia, given that it had acceded to the three core human rights conventions on women, children and persons with disabilities, was obliged to share common standards and values on human rights with the global community.
“The Commission also wishes to highlight that Malaysia, under the current leadership, adopted the Asean Human Rights Declaration during the 21st Asean Summit in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, on 18 November 2012, thus repeating and reaffirming its human rights commitments,” he said.
“The Commission calls on the government to emulate the best practices of other Muslim countries with regard to the advancement of human rights.”
Muslim countries that have adopted the UDHR include Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Lebanon, Pakistan, Syria and Turkey.
Najib’s speech on Tuesday was delivered at an international Islamic forum on moderation. He said some activists promoting views that strayed from Islam were doing so under the guise of protecting human rights.
