Abstract
Darius Atighetchi’s paper is connoted by “fear”: fear that Islam could be “colonized” by other cultures; and specifically fear for the danger of corruption of Islam because of the paradigm of “human rights” as a product of Western culture. The text begins with the complaint of “Western-international colonization” and it ends by quoting the same concern, clearly and loudly expressed by some major Islamic organizations.
