Fifth
Global Ethic Lecture

Shirin Ebadi, Nobel Peace Prize recipient
“The contribution of Islam to a Global
Ethic”
“One cannot reject observance of human rights in the name of religion:
there is no religion that approves of repression, war, and the like. The truth
is that, on the basis of a correct and dynamic interpretation of Islam, one can
be a good Muslim and at the same time respect and observe the human rights.”
