Abstract

This study seeks to examine different interpretations of the human rights in Islam and the West in terms of its critical discourse analysis. In this regard, in order to analyze the discourse theory of Laclau and Mouffe is used. To do so the context of discourse and the discourses of Islam and the West and articulation of each of the principles of Human Rights was clear. "Human dignity" is the central signifier that its floating signifiers are "vicegerent of God", "the enjoyment of wisdom", "liberty", "and the enjoyment of the divine nature". Central Signifier "right to life" is surrounded by the floating signifiers such as "basic human right", "common right of all human beings" and "there are consequences for violating it". Central Signifier "freedom" is also in center of floating signifiers which are "rooted in the creation ", "being granted by God", "capable of being acquired". Floating signifiers, "equality in terms of creation", "equality in terms of all the rights "," subject to the right of all social classes and groups " are around central signifier "equality". The articulation of signifiers in Western discourse is as follows. "Human dignity" is surrounded by floating signifiers "the enjoyment of human wisdom" and "authority and freedom". "Right to life" by floating signifiers" the right to life is confined to this world", "common right of all human beings" and "subject to the right of body and soul". In this discourse, " freedom" is in the center of floating signifiers "rooted in the desires and carnal desires," "reserved the right to claim for all", " innate freedom of human "."Equality "is located in the center of "equality of all before the law", "reserved the right of recourse to the courts for all" and "non-discrimination between religious groups, racial and sexual" floating signifiers. It was also noted that human rights in the Islamic discourse must be very stable and do not vary from society to society. West introduces customs and traditions bases of Human Rights and inserts the human rights pretext of, military and civilian invasions on other countries and their people's wealth and lives and honor
