OIC Secretary General condemns publication of the Book “Tyranny of Silence”
The Secretary General of the Organization of the Islamic Conference Professor Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu today strongly condemned the publication of the book entitled “Tyranny of Silence” in Denmark. The book contains a compilation of denigrating caricatures and cartoons of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) published by the Jyllands Posten in 2005 which aroused worldwide condemnation and denunciation, and caused hurt and insult to the sentiments of Muslims around the world.
The OIC Secretary General expressed his dismay and disappointment at the release of the book despite the fact that he and some other leaders of the Muslim countries had personally addressed letters to the Foreign Minister of Denmark urging the intervention of the Danish government against the publication due to the highly provocative and inciting contents of the book. He reiterated his position when the Foreign Minister of Denmark called on him to discuss the issue at the sidelines of the 65th session of the UN General Assembly.
Emphasizing the moral responsibility of the political leadership of Denmark in this regard, the Secretary General said that the publication of the book was a deliberate attempt to incite prejudices and animosity which would undermine the ongoing efforts of the international community for promoting understanding and peaceful coexistence among peoples of diverse religious and cultural backgrounds.
Referring to the statement issued by the Danish Foreign Ministry, the Secretary General said that the publication constituted a flagrant violation of the stipulation of Article 20 of 1966 International Convention on Civil and Political Rights. In this connection he also referred to the Danish Criminal Code which in its section ‘140’ stipulates protection of religious feelings against mockery and scorn, and in section ‘266 b’ stipulates protection of groups of persons against scorn and degradation on account of their religions among other things.
He added that the publication of the book substantiated the OIC’s concerns over the abuse of freedom of expression by motivated groups and individuals to fuel hatred towards Islam and Muslims in some parts of the western world.

What a load of crap coming from the sanctified members of Hate, Abuse and Murder.
Ooooooow, and they are so mocked and scorned by simple truth on the subject of what they are, what they believe, what they do and how they do it.
Islam: a single identity group of the perpetually angry; one needs a pooper scooper when dealing with these regressive thugs.

....’seventh century lunatics with no sense of humor...’ Mark Steyn.
But, what if Muhammed actually wasn’t a pedophile?
The Danes have at least held fast, but Obama got right on it when requested to prevent that Florida minister from burning the Koran. Not only that but he put the full power of the US government, all the way up to the commanding general in Afghanistan, the Department of Defense, and the FBI into suppressing this man’s right to freedom of expression because it was offensive to Islam.
We can see that Obama takes his duties seriously - as guardian of Islam. I think a lot of people didn’t understand the full significance of his actions in the Florida case.
It’s never too late to send these rabid fiends back to the Azoic..
Just shows how demented Muslims are to base their religion and holy book on such this 7th century savage. No other major world religion does this, only some forgotten pagan cults.
