The UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights, a 20th century landmark, was rejected by the Organization of the Islamic Conference, which adopted their own "Declaration of Human Rights in Islam". The latter states that human rights should be subject to the Islamic Law (Sharia) without contradicting it. Sharia tremendously restricts women's and gay's rights, freedom of speech and affirmative actions. Sharia and Human Rights are opposing concepts.

A very good article by Robert Spencer on Slavery, Christianity and Islam has been posted on First Things. Worth reading it.
Examples:
UK: African woman kept as slave by London doctor (MSN News).
