We have the human rights legislation, and we apply it liberally.
But say we were the Islamic state and we sanctioned a human rights act (admittedly much different), but islam as a political solution does also promote peace and loyalty. So where and how is the western version more... right?
Peace based on oppression and loyalty to that oppressive system - that is where the western system is "more" right.
The "rightness" of a tool is determined by how well it serves its intended purpose - so the viability of Islam as a political system would rely on that as well. The purpose of a political system is to provide the framework for security, development and well-being of the society and individuals within it. The system that does better is more right.

Quoting atrocities as proof is not a proof.. There are billions of muslims that don't want heinous crimes committing in their name.
It is if those atrocities are sanctioned by the political system itself.
