“The notion that rights don’t come from laws and don’t come from the government, but come from the Creator — that’s what the Iranian government believes,” he said. “It’s a theocratic regime that bases its rule on Shia (sic) law and targets Sunnis, Bahá’ís, Jews, Christians, and other religious minorities. They do it because they believe that they understand what natural rights are from their Creator. So, the statement that our rights do not come from our laws or our governments is extremely troubling.”
2025 September 6, Jonathan Turley, quoting Tim Kaine, “Tim Kaine’s Constitutional blasphemy”, in The Hill:
- (Jehovah's-Witnesses) Conforming to God-rule, by Christian behavior.
