NPR, Juan Williams, and Sharia Law
by Brigitte Gabriel and Guy Rodgers https://www.legal-project.org/880/npr-juan-williams-and-sharia-law Excerpt: NPR's sacking of Juan Williams was more than the politically correct act du jour. It was the latest in a series of media and political capitulations to Sharia law. A central provision of Sharia law is its prohibition against speech that can be construed as "defaming" Islam or the prophet Mohammed. Where Sharia is practiced and enforced, such "defamation" is a criminal offense that can be punished by death. In other words, what we in America take for granted as free speech is a capital crime in some areas of the Muslim world. Islamists around the world are seeking to impose Sharia's muzzling of free speech on free societies. The Organization of the Islamic Conference, composed of 56 Islamic states, has won passage of a United Nations resolution calling on countries to criminalize speech that "defames" religion—clearly referring to Islam. After all, does anyone really expect countries like Saudi Arabia to criminalize speech that "defames" Judaism?
