Hillary Clinton Working with UN,
OIC to Criminalize Free Speech

[This is a clear assault on the freedom of speech all Americans enjoy. This is an attack on our Constitution. And this kind of attacks continue under President Barack Hussein Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.]

As Act for America organization had reported extensively, Captain Paul Fields of Tulsa, Oklahoma, was disciplined for refusing to obey an order that violated his constitutional rights. It's certain, a Muslim police officer would not have been ordered by the Tulsa police chief to attend a Christian church services and Sunday school classes.

Now there is the latest attack on our freedoms - posted recently in Jihad Watch. The Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC) continues its assault on free speech at the UN through advancing a resolution cloaked in terms such as "defamation of religion." It's a thinly veiled attempt to criminalize speech that criticizes Islam.

But now, in an ominous development, according to a story published by the International Islamic News Agency, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has joined the campaign to implement this effort to criminalize free speech.

Clinton says the US State Department will coordinate with OIC on legal ways to implement UN's resolution criminalizing "defamation of religion." This means the US is moving rapidly to criminalize telling the truth about how Islamic jihadists use the texts and teachings of Islam to encourage violence and supremacism.

Free Speech Death Watch Alert, an update on this story based on a report from Jeddah:
During the next few months, Washington plans to host a coordination meeting to discuss with the OIC how to implement resolution 16/18 on combating defamation of religion, and how to prevent stereotypes depicting religions and their followers; as well as disseminating religious tolerance, which has been endorsed by the UN Human Rights Council last March, in agreement with Western countries. The resolution was adopted after lengthy discussions held between the OIC and countries in which the phenomenon of Islamophobia is on the rise.

The US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton had announced the intention of the US State Department to organize a coordination
meeting during her participation in the meting which she co-chaired with the OIC Secretary General Prof. Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu in Istanbul on 15 July 2011. The meeting issued a joint statement emphasizing the dire need for the implementation of resolution 16/18.

According to informed sources in the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, the two sides, in addition to other European parties, will hold a number of specialized meetings of experts in law and religion in order to finalize the legal aspect on how to better implement the UN resolution.

The sources said that the upcoming meetings aim at developing a legal basis for the UN Human Rights Council's resolution which help in enacting domestic laws for the countries involved in the issue, as well as formulating international laws preventing inciting
hatred resulting from the continued defamation of religions.

On the other hand, the OIC Secretary General stressed that the crime committed recently in Norway was a result of the rise of the extreme right in Europe and its easy mobility in political circles. He said that the OIC had warned several times against what might be called institutionalization of the phenomenon of Islamophobia through the involvement of the European extreme right in government institutions and political action.
