CAIRO, Jan 30 (MASNET & News Agencies) - The Muslim world's two main political bodies have said they were seeking a U.N. resolution, backed by possible sanctions, to protect religions following an outcry caused by publication in Scandinavia of cartoons depicting the Prophet Mohammed (saw).
Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC) secretary general Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu told reporters in Cairo Sunday that the international body would "ask the U.N. general assembly to pass a resolution banning attacks on religious beliefs."
The deputy secretary general of the Arab League, Ahmed Ben Helli, confirmed that contacts were under way for such a proposal to be made to the United Nations.
"Consultations are currently taking place at the highest level between Arab countries and the OIC to ask the U.N. to adopt a binding resolution banning contempt of religious beliefs and providing for sanctions to be imposed on contravening countries or institutions," he said.
Former president Bill Clinton warned of rising anti-Islamic prejudice, comparing it to historic anti-Semitism as he condemned the publishing of the cartoons.
"So now what are we going to do? ... Replace the anti-Semitic prejudice with anti-Islamic prejudice?" he said at an economic conference in the Qatari capital of Doha.
Clinton described the cartoons as "appalling".

"Regardless of all the acts of extremism and terrorism that are taking place, there are red lines," said the official, one of the main vocal Muslim leaders in Bahrain.
This really sums it up right there.
The muslimes want us to bend to their will.
The libs are more than willing to do so.
Scary times.
God bless the Danes for standing up to the insidious rabble!

This whole thing probably came about when Moe-hammed was alive; he was ripe for assassination, no doubt because of his evilness, and didn't want people to know what he looked like!
The ACLU (and some aggressive atheist FReepers) will never go for it...
"The cartoons include portrayal of the prophet wearing a time bomb shaped turban and show him as a wild-eyed, knife-wielding Bedouin flanked by two women shrouded in black."
Heck they're either cutting heads off or their blowing themselves up! They also hide behind women and kids. I see it as a realistic depiction of these evil cowards.
Ah, truth is their worst enemy and sometimes it isn't pretty.

If Bubba had been paying attention, he'd have seen plenty of antisemitism in Islamist litter-ature. Then again, he never saw racism (worth denouncing, at least) in American cartoonists' drawings of Condoleeza Rice.
The sooner the UN could be disbanded, the better. It is only a matter of time til it is against "international law" to defend the U.S. or criticize any enemy of it.
"Take back what you said about my followers being murderous fanatics or I'll kill anyone of the same nationality of a paper that published those drawings..." < /sarcasm >
I'm still waiting for muslims to denounce the radical element; you know, those followers who aren't "really muslim". If they aren't "real muslims", then there is no harm in denouncing them (muslims are instructed not to criticize the faith of other muslims). Passive muslims remain quiet at their own peril. Evil thrives when good men do nothing.
Ask the supporters of the United Nations what the League of Nations ever got us.
