My Way News - AP Exclusive: Muslim countries seek blasphemy ban
My Way News reports: "Four years after cartoons of the prophet Muhammad set off violent protests across the Muslim world, Islamic nations are mounting a campaign for an international treaty to protect religious symbols and beliefs from mockery - essentially a ban on blasphemy that would put them on a collision course with free speech laws in the West."

Comment: This would be a very worrisome development. You can't force people to respect a religion, but in practice, the effort to do so will likely result in human rights violations and persecution of both non-believers and followers of less insecure religions.
