There Is No "true Islam," Just Different Interpretations. Since I Brought Up Patriarchy, Let Me Make One Thing Clear. I Am Not Singling Out Men; I Am Addressing The Issue Of Inequality Of Genders. A Patriarchy Does Not Only Not Accept The Equality Of The Sexes, It Also Has A Hard Time Understanding The Principles Of Democracy And Its Essence. Women Are The Victims Of This Patriarchal Culture, But They Are Also Its Carriers. Let Us Keep In Mind That Every Oppressive Man Was Raised In The Confines Of His Mother's Home. This Is The Culture We Need To Resist And Fight.

Those Who Don't Understand Any Language Other Than The Language Of Force And Violence Don't Respect Human Dignity. They Seek Violence Because They Will Be Irrelevant Without It. We Should Not Go Their Way.

Democracy ... Is Not Something That Occurs Overnight. It Is Not A Gift Delivered On A Golden Tray. Democracy Is A Long Process Of Fighting, Challenging Accepted Ideas, And Perpetually Striving For Freedom. Like A Seed That Has To Be Watered Every Day To Become A Flower, Democracy Needs Constant Attention And Care.

The Idea Of Cultural Relativism Is Nothing But An Excuse To Violate Human Rights. Human Rights Is The Fruit Of Various Civilizations. I Know Of No Civilization That Tolerates Or Justifies Violence, Terrorism, Or Injustice. There Is No Civilization That Justifies The Killing Of Innocent People. Those Who Are Invoking Cultural Relativism Are Really Using That As An Excuse For Violating Human Rights And To Put A Cultural Mask On The Face Of What They're Doing.

The International Community Can't Trust Such A Government. If The Government Of Iran Wants The International Community To Believe In What It Says, It Should Try To Bring True, Pure Democracy Into The Country. The Political Solution To The Energy Issue Or The Nuclear Case Is Democracy In Iran.
