ReligionNewsBlog : Muslim nations consider legal instrument to crack down on defamation of Islam
Concerned about what they see as a rise in the defamation of Islam, leaders of the world's Muslim nations are considering taking legal action against those that slight their religion or its sacred symbols. It was a key issue during a two-day summit that ended Friday in Dakar, Senegal's capital.

“I don't think freedom of expression should mean freedom from blasphemy,” said Senegal's President Abdoulaye Wade, the chairman of the 57-member Organization of the Islamic Conference. “There can be no freedom without limits.”



Hey Abdoulaye, blasphemy is the very epitomy of free expression! But if you want cartoonists to stop lampooning Islam, then the way to go about it is for some of it's faithful, including certain governments ruled by fuedal barbarians, to stop being murderous assholes in it's name. Until then:
