			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080314/ap_on_re_af/islamic_summit_islamophobia">Muslims nations: Defame Islam, get sued</a></p>
<p>The Yahoo headline has a question mark&#8230; I&#8217;ve omitted it, as the article itself shows that there is no question that lawsuits are planned to suppress freedom of speech.</p>
<blockquote><p>The Muslim leaders are attempting to demand redress from nations like Denmark, which allowed the publication of cartoons portraying the Prophet Muhammad in 2006 and again last month, to the fury of the Muslim world.</p></blockquote>
<p>These folks really need to lighten up. Heck, <a href="http://richgay.com/2006/02/22/we-have-nothing-to-fear-but-cartoons/">the cartoons were quite funny</a>! And as many have pointed out, <a href="http://richgay.com/2006/02/01/islam-and-cartoons/">cartoons are not the real problem</a>.</p>
<p>The head poobah makes the intent clear:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t think freedom of expression should mean freedom from blasphemy,&#8221; said Senegal&#8217;s President Abdoulaye Wade, the chairman of the 57-member Organization of the Islamic Conference.</p></blockquote>
<p>Um, no, sir, you are incorrect. And we&#8217;ve fought many wars to defend and uphold our cherished freedom of speech. We&#8217;re not going to let you sue away our first amendment.</p>
<p>This is yet another confirmation that Islamists have some <a href="http://www.opinionjournal.com/federation/feature/?id=110008181">major ambitions</a>.</p>
