Criminalizing free speech
Act for America
URGENT—They want to criminalize free speech!
We’re fighting to protect your rights!
“Next session of the Istanbul Process on Islamophobia will be held in the first half of this year, and the session will squarely focus on the issue of criminalizing denigration of religions,” said Rizwan Saeed Sheikh, director of cultural affairs at the OIC general secretariat and spokesman for the OIC secretary general.

Using the fig leaf of “denigration of religions,” it’s clear the OIC is absolutely committed to imposing a key provision of sharia law on America and the West.
| Sharia law prohibits speech that insults, defames or offends Islam and Muhammad. This is what the OIC is after—a worldwide prohibition on any speech that dares critique or even question Islam. |
The OIC’s current mechanism to accomplish this is the Istanbul Process and UN Resolution 16/18.
And here’s the really bad news—our State Department is promoting this effort.
|
This Monday, March 11th, ACT! for America will be airing a national webcast where we will launch our campaign to stop this effort, “Americans United to Defend Free Speech.”
The webcast will air from 7:30 PM EST to 9:30 PM EST. You can use this link to tune in:

Many European countries already have so-called “hate speech” laws. ACT! for America’s chapter leader in Austria, Elisabeth Sabaditsch-Wolf, was convicted for violating one of those laws.
There have been speech codes restricting so-called “hate speech” on many American college campuses for years.
Canada’s Supreme Court recently issued a ruling that will almost certainly be used to restrict free speech.
Groups like CAIR, ISNA and many other Muslim Brotherhood connected organizations repeatedly try to silence any criticism of radical Islam with shouts of “Islamophobia” and “racism.”
If we win the war on Islamic terrorism but lose our right of free speech, we still lose.
Please help us fight back against this growing, insidious threat.
