Now Western media face wrath of Islamic blasphemy laws
WND ^ | Aug 1, 2017 | Leo Hohmann

Posted on 08/03/2017 7:00:03 AM PDT by Ray76

A group of international Islamist organizations led by the Saudi-based Organization of Islamic Cooperation, or OIC, recently held a two-day conference on countering “Islamophobia” in which it recommends imposing Islamic blasphemy laws on the media worldwide.

Under Islamic law, it is considered a serious offense to criticize Allah, Muhammad or Islam. In countries like Pakistan, a Muslim can take a non-Muslim to court and claim he was “offended” by something that was said, resulting in a trial and jail time, even death, for the non-Muslim.

But the OIC, which consists of 57 Muslim-majority countries and boasts the largest voting bloc at the United Nations, is not satisfied with its own people living under threat of arrest for offending Islam by something that is said, written or posted on the Internet.

Despite all of its efforts dating back to 2005 [see timeline in this article], the OIC believes there is still too much anti-Muslim “Islamophobia” available on the Internet.

The July 15-16 symposium, held at London’s Central Mosque Trust and Islamic Cultural Center, was designed to come up with a new plan to eliminate this persistent “Islamophobia.” The conference was attended by lawyers, media leaders, politicians including Lord Sheikh of Britain, academics from European universities and diplomats from various embassies. The conference was titled: “Mechanisms to challenge Islamophobia legally and through the media.”

Organizers spoke of the need for a new media strategy, citing there is usually a surge in “hate crimes” against Muslims following terrorist acts perpetrated by Muslims, such as the London Bridge attack and Manchester concert attack earlier this year.

In fact, only last December the OIC met in Saudi Arabia and launched a new media strategy, part of which aimed “to tackle Islamophobic discourse in the U.S., U.K., and European media.”

That is because, because of the internet, people are beginning to see that Islam is EVIL and cannot co-exist with Western Civilization.

Just a thought. There’s only one way to protect our lifestyle, our culture, the Western culture from Islam, and that is to isolate Islam to its origins no matter the outcry, the diabolical schemes proffered by our oppressors of the leftist, Democrat, establishment persuasion.

> the OIC, which consists of 57 Muslim-majority countries <

Back in 2008 Obama said that during his campaign he visited “57 states”. Quite the coincidence, eh?

But to be completely fair, maybe Obama was thinking about the Heinz corporation. They claim to have 57 varieties.

Basically, telling the truth about Islam is considered blasphemy.

The US media has already submitted to Islam because they fear them more than they fear the truth.

That's enough for now. Needless to say I've been banned many times from Facebook ( "martyred" as I like to put it). I went and saved bunch I liked from "draw Mohammad Day" while it was still up and running.

Though they mostly skip the "court" part and the "jail time" option...

Never mind being an infidel, being the wrong kind on Mozlem will get you killed. (There is no right kind so Mozlems kill more of each other than infidels)

There's a London in Saudi Arabia? No, thought not. Pathetic.
