Islam is reaping what it sows; its followers don't like the taste of the 
bitter fruits of jihad and hatred and blasphemy against God and His only
begotten son, Jesus Christ, who Muslims specifically and blasphemously 
reject as being the son of God. Soon, Islam will be no more, and no great 
loss.

OIC mulls legal steps against insults
DAKAR, March 15: The Muslim world has created a plan to defend its 
religion from political cartoonists and bigots.
 
Concerned about what they saw as a rise in the defamation of Islam, 
leaders of the world's Muslim nations meeting at a summit in Senegal 
considered formulating legal measures against those who insulted their 
religion or its sacred symbols. It was a key issue during the two-day
summit that ended on Friday.

The plan represents an attempt to demand redress from nations like Denmark,
which allowed the publication of blasphemous images, an incident that 
infuriated the Muslim world. However, the type of legal action it could 
take is not fully spelled out.

The report concludes that Islam is under attack and that a defence must be mounted.

To protect the faith, Muslim nations have already created an "observatory" 
that meets regularly to monitor "Islamophobia". It examines
lectures and workshops taking place around the world and prints a monthly
record of

offensive content.
 
The report presented on Friday urges the creation of a "legal instrument"
to crack down on defamation of Islam, but it is unclear what kind of legal 
action could be taken. Some delegates point to laws in Europe criminalising 
the denial of the Holocaust and other anti-Semitic rhetoric. They also point 
to articles within various UN charters that condemn discrimination based on 
religion and argue that these should be made stronger.
 
Hemayet Uddin, the lead author of the report and the director-general of 
the OIC culture and social affairs committee, said some form of legal 
action is needed because "this Islamophobia that we see in the world has 
gone far beyond a phobia. It is now at the level of hatred, of xenophobia 
and we need to act."
 
The delegates, he said, were unanimous in the need for this. A new charter
drafted by the OIC commits the Muslim body "to protect and defend the true 
image of Islam" and "to combat the defamation of Islam."
