A People's History of the European Court of Human Rights

The exceptionality of America's Supreme Court has long been conventional wisdom. But the United States Supreme Court is no longer the only one changing the landscape of public rights and values. Over the past thirty years, the European Court of Human Rights has developed an ambitious, American-style body of law. Unheralded by the mass press, this obscure tribunal in Strasbourg, France has become, in many ways, the Supreme Court of Europe. Michael Goldhaber introduces American audiences to the judicial arm of the Council of Europe--a group distinct from the European Union, and much larger--whose mission is centered on interpreting the European Convention on Human Rights. The Council routinely confronts nations over their most culturally-sensitive, hot-button issues. It has stared down France on the issue of Muslim immigration; Ireland on abortion; Greece on Greek Orthodoxy; Turkey on Kurdish separatism; Austria on Nazism; and Britain on gay rights and corporal punishment. And what is most extraordinary is that nations commonly comply. In the battle for the world's conscience, Goldhaber shows how the court in Strasbourg may be pulling ahead.

Islam therefore invited all people to the truth; and should disputes arise between
different religious groups over its meaning, it is Allah "that will show you the truth
of the matters in which ye dispute" (surah 5:48). LIBERTY: THE ORIGINS OF
TOLERANCE Even if one can easily show that the "right to life and security" (
article 3 of the Universal Declaration) has deep roots in ancient religions and
cultures, it would be excessive to claim that what we understand today as liberty
is equally ...

The Paradox of Human Rights

If that instruction really is from Allah, then surely Allah is NOT all-knowing or wise.
For anybody who claims otherwise, the DNA within every cell in your body bears
witness that they are certainly liars. How then can you believe that Islam is the
Religion of Truth? Just look into the eyes of the children who are born with
avoidable physical disabilities and mental retardations. They are the ones who
