It's their revolution, let them own it.
Human rights plays an important role in world politics. I really am still in chambers about whose revolution this was.

Professor
H. Patrick Glenn asserts that the European concept of human rights developed in reaction to an entrenched hierarchy of class and privilege contrary to, and rejected by, Islam. As implemented in sharia law, protection for the individual is defined in terms of
mutual obligation rather than
human rights. The concept of human rights, as applied in the European framework, is therefore unnecessary and potentially destructive to Islamic societies.[SUP]

Many secularist, human rights, and leading organisations have criticized Islamic states' stance on human rights. In 2009, the journal
Free Inquiry summarized this criticism in an editorial: "We are deeply concerned with the changes to the
Universal Declaration of Human Rights by a coalition of Islamic states within the
United Nations that wishes to prohibit any criticism of religion and would thus protect Islam's limited view of human rights. In view of the conditions inside the Islamic Republic of Iran, Egypt, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, the Sudan, Syria, Bangdalesh, Iraq, and Afghanistan, we should expect that at the top of their human rights agenda would be to rectify the legal inequality of women, the suppression of political dissent, the curtailment of free expression, the persecution of ethnic minorities and religious dissenters — in short, protecting their citizens from egregious human rights violations. Instead, they are worrying about protecting Islam."[SUP]

I guess Sharia should be a different topic, so....
