The OIC has put forth a resolution to criminalize the blasphemy of religions (specifically Islam). Along with the racism inherent in this conference is the intent to silence human rights advocates in the Muslim countries and the Western democracies. Freedom of Speech would be quashed and references to Islam and terrorism would be a prosecutable offense. It would define Islam as the superior religion and individual rights as non-existent. I’m not buying into that part of the Conference statement either.
