Though the legal measures being considered have not been spelled out, the idea pits many Muslims against principles of freedom of speech enshrined in the constitutions of numerous Western governments.
""I don't think freedom of expression should mean freedom from blasphemy,"" said Senegal's President Abdoulaye Wade, the chairman of the 57-member Organization of the Islamic Conference. ""There can be no freedom without limits.""
Delegates were given a voluminous report by the OIC that recorded anti-Islamic speech and actions from around the world. The report concludes that Islam is under attack and that a defense must be mounted.
