So if someone bashes conservatives, or christians, is it illegal or is it still okay?
Does it just apply to followers of islam?
(tinfoil hat)
Is this where Obama comes out and says he's a muslim, and now we can't say "boo" about it?
The OIC is taking direct aim at free speech and expression about Islam. Neither Christianity nor Judaism is named in the OIC’s official documents, whose only concern is to make the world safe from “defamation” of Islam — a charge that includes speaking truthfully about the national security implications of the Islamic doctrine of jihad.
Incitement to hatred under the OIC definition includes artistic expression like the Danish cartoons, literary expression like Salman Rushdie’s The Satanic Verses, or Pastor Terry Jones’ burning of his personally owned copy of the Qur’an. According to the “test of consequences,” if Muslims feel compelled to burn, loot, riot, and kill in response to such exercises of free expression, under the laws the OIC wants the U.S. to enact, it would be the editor and cartoonist of the Jyllands-Posten newspaper, Salman Rushdie, and Terry Jones who would be held criminally responsible for any damage or deaths that ensue.

Islam bashing is a type of cultural racism and it should be a crime....
Right, like they don't do that themselves? When they give the 39 lashes to christians who refuse to convert?
Well, that is the problem right there. The UN can't change the definition of words by edict and they can't tell Americans what constitutes free speech.
