	Description:		In the horrors of the Iraq war and the depredations of ISIS, basic human dignity collapsed: people did unimaginable things to each other, the abnormal became normal. And Payam Akhavan saw this human disease everywhere- Congo, Uganda, and here in Canada too. Much of the evil we do, he argues, comes from mistaken ideas of religion and what we think God wants of us; the reality is that we need new ideas about our responsibilities to each other, and to listen better to that inner spirit we all have, the spirit of human rights.
