Al-Azhar sheikh al-Tayyeb demands new international law criminalizing defamation of Islam. Did the Obama/DNC weak reaction to Muslim violence and arrest of anti-Islamic film maker give rise to this type thinking?

Grand Sheikh of Al-Azhar Ahmed al-Tayyeb has demanded a UN resolution criminalizing blasphemy against Islam and other world religions, as well as demanding that those he described as “misled” be punished for committing “these heinous acts of abuse to the Prophet.”

In a statement released Saturday, Tayyeb called on UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon to criminalize the defamation of religion, saying that such actions and words threaten world peace and international security.

“Is not that irresponsible tampering, Mr. Secretary General, similar to the issue of [anti-Semitic] prejudice, which you condemn all the time, and [against] which verdicts were issued against alleged perpetrators in many countries of the world, even if they are great thinkers and scientists?” Tayyeb asked in the statement.

Tayyeb also called on all Egyptians to keep calm and condemned attacks on innocent people and expressed sympathy for victims of the recent violence. He also stressed the need to protect diplomatic missions and the headquarters of international organizations

    What should be Criminalized is the issuing of any FATWA by a Muslim Cleric that calls for death or harm in any way to anybody. These Clerics should be imprisoned and in some cases executed ( where their followers commit murders)

    Islam needs to grow a pair. When they criticize no one, then we can all agree not to criticize each other in turn. The attack on the American embassy in Libya, since our embassy, and embassies from all over the world, are considered to be on the land of that country, the violence has been another act of war. We need to make sure they, or anyone else who does so, knows that and we will not put up with it.
    BTW, this demand is ridiculous, ludicrous, arrogant and inane.

    Before there are any discussions about what to do in the long run, President Obama should dispatch Navy Seal Team 6 to Benghazi to capture or kill anybody who participated in the killing of the 4 Americans!

    It appears that several have already been arrested, by Libyan authorities. We have drones flying in the area with the Libyan governments permission. The investigation seems to be proceeding well. I don't think Seal Team 6 is needed.

    I do not trust anybody to obtain justice in Libya other than the U.S. Military. The drones are great if we know who the killers are, but we need the names of all involved so that they can be killed or captured. This means boots on the ground! The sooner the better! These terrorists need to know that they will pay the ultimate price without delay!

    A website in America should release an anti-Islamic movie video once a week. Pick the best one and post it. Keep it going week after week--this will have a two pronged effect:
    1) It will send a message to the Middle East about the Constitution, America and our right to Freedom of speech
    2) It will expose any politician or American who is opposed to the constitution, the American way of life and the rights our founding fathers insisted upon.

    I was actually speaking to Jayone. My comment was a personal comment to him based on his statement:

    "2) It will expose any politician or American who is opposed to the constitution, the American way of life and the rights our founding fathers insisted upon."

    Is that okay with you?

    The constitution of the new United States would have never been ratified unless the Bill of Rights were added, to make it crystal clear what the Federal Government owed the people. That is how important the first amendment is to the people of our nation. And I agree with you. Any judge or lawmaker who attempts to deny Americans their Bill of Rights is guilty of treason.

    Why do we want to post things that will incite violence and possibly get more Americans killed. How would you feel if your post turned up on a sign outside a US embassy being overrun, burned and the occupants killed?

    Why aren't these same people complaining when Christians are killed throughout the Middle East and Northern Africa? Why do they allow Bibles to be destroyed all over these same areas?

    Because they are Muslims. The complaining that you are talking about happens in the US. It would be nice if we Christians complained about Muslims getting killed and the Koran getting burned and the Muslims complained about Christians getting killed and the Bible being burned. Unfortunately it isn't happening. Since we all believe in the same God the Father, I suspect our language doesn't make him happy.

    Do you realize those people would be required to stay quiet until death about the most notorious event in the Earth's history?

    You will say and use anything to stay in denial won't you? I don't care how many it took! It is not the point and has ZERO to do with the evidence (you cowardly ignore) that clearly proves 911 was an inside job. More important! You don't even realize you are an accomplice with your dumbed down denial.

    As new information comes to light with the recent release of previously classified information, more people will wake up from their dumbed down stupor.

    I was just reading about 9/11 today. I didn't realize that the New York Times had carried an article claiming the Bush administration knew about but pushed back against information that could have prevented 9/11.

    If anybody's interested, here's a link to the article I was reading, which has a link to NYT:

    Yea all the people involved in the grand conspiracy are keeping quiet.
    Do you have any idea how many people would be needed to pull off something on this scale? Planning, planting explosives, Middle East connections, ETC ETC
    All these people who would be in the know would be expected to stay quiet about the most notorious event id the planets history---yea, great plan. lol
