Worried Muslim leaders have begun setting up a confrontation with the western world, and America in particular, involving modern human rights. As Reuters reports:
Because Islam is an ideology bent on world domination while masquerading as a religion, it's easy to see how the leaders of that ideology, which severely restricts the liberty and freedom of any subjects under its domination, would not tolerate freedom of expression threatening that tight control.Muslim leaders were in unison at the United Nations this week arguing that the West was hiding behind its defense of freedom of speech and ignoring cultural sensitivities in the aftermath of anti-Islam slurs that have raised fears of a widening East-West cultural divide.
Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said it was time to put an end to the protection of Islamophobia masquerading as the freedom to speak freely.
However, Egypt's newly elected Islamist president, Mohamed Mursi, revealed the true agenda at work here."Unfortunately, Islamophobia has also become a new form of racism like anti-Semitism. It can no longer be tolerated under the guise of freedom of expression. Freedom does not mean anarchy," he told the 193-nation U.N. General Assembly on Friday.
"Egypt respects freedom of expression, freedom of expression that is not used to incite hatred against anyone," he said. "We expect from others, as they expect from us, that they respect our cultural specifics and religious references, and not impose concepts or cultures that are unacceptable to us."
Speaking
to the fundamental differences between Islam and modernity hardly means
anarchy or imposition of cultures -- except to the extent Mr.
Davutoghu, Mr. Mursi, and others worry that their subjects might begin
to reject Islam's rigid controls. Instead they now seek U.N. action
calling for criminal sanctions against any expression they alone feel
offends Muslim sensibility in order to head off any further uprisings
seeking less rigid Islamic or government control.
Western states that backed the uprisings have urged these countries to quickly foster democratic reforms and adhere stringently to human rights principles and basic freedoms.
They fear a more austere version of Islam could hijack the protest movements. Most Western speakers at the United Nation defended freedom of speech, but shied away from calls by Muslim leaders for an international ban on blasphemy.
Americans
have yet to come to grips with the inherent conflict between the
Constitution's First Amendment enshrining personal freedoms and the
coming demands of an ideology governed by Sharia law claiming privileges
reserved for true religions. Make no mistake, that's where this latest
rhetoric is headed.

Criticism of Islam and Mohammed is criminalized under Sharia law. This is the law in Egypt and most parts of the MIddle East. But it now appears that Morsi and others want the US to adopt that part of it too.
We are asked to give up our rights under the First Amendment and threatened with violence if we do not. If it were the Mafia, we would charge them with extortion.
If we adopt that part of Sharia, will Morsi next ask us to kill homosexuals, stone adulterers, cut of the hands of thieves and kill apostates.
Obama and the Muslim Brotherhood
Obama contributed to the revitalization of the Muslim Brotherhood despite the evidence found in Virginia of their attempt to subvert the Federal Government from within and despite evidence of a 100 year plan for world domination of sharia law found by Swiss authorities in 2005. It is impossible to think that this evidence was not available to the President of the United States.
Notwithstanding this evidence, in Cairo, Obama insisted on having the leadership of Muslim Brotherhood (a party banned by Egypt) attend his talk -- he had them put in the front row. He contributed to the downfall of the Hosni Mubarak regime in Egypt by calling for his prompt resignation during the protests in Tahrir Square.
In the United States, in Herndon, Virginia, the FBI raided a house belonging to two people that had been found photographing the bridge supports of the Annapolis Bay Bridge. They found a document showing a conspiracy of the Muslim Brotherhood to engage in a ""grand jihad" eliminating and destroying the Western civilization FROM WITHIN, and "sabotaging its miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers so that it is eliminated and God’s religion is made victorious over all other religions." [my emphasis] This language appeared in a document entitled "An Explanatory Memorandum On the General Strategic Goal for the Group In North America" The document was written by Mohammed Akram who sent it to the Shura Council of the Muslim Brotherhood for their comment and approval, stating that it was an update and restatement of the plan they had agreed to in 1987. The document was submitted in evidence in the Holy Land Foundation case; its authenticity was not disputed.
There is additional evidence of the Muslim Brotherhood's plan for conquest of the West. It can be found in a document found by Swiss authorities in 2005. The only article written about it is in French. La conquête de l'Occident: Le projet secret des Islamistes (Paris: Le Seuil, 2005), pp. 193-205. that I think means "The conquest of the West: The Secret Project of the Islamists. You can find a translation of the document at: http://archive.frontpagemag.com/readArticle.aspx?... It outlines a 100 year plan for world domination under Sharia. Patrick Poole tells us a little more about the document in an article entitled "The Muslim Brotherhood Project.http://archive.frontpagemag.com/readarticle.aspx?...
With all this available information indicating a legitimate concern with the activities of the Muslim Brotherhood engaging in subversion, and attempting world domination, Michele Bachmann is berated by the Democrats and the media for asking the Inspector Generals of several Federal Departments or agencies to investigate whether the Muslim Brotherhood has infiltrated our government. These criticisms of Bachman never mention the evidence submitted in the Holy Land Foundation case, or in the Swiss documents -- they say instead there is absolutely no reason for such an investigation.
And even though CAIR, and other mainstream muslim organizations were named in the Holy Land Foundation case as "unindicted co-conspirators", the US Department of Justice has dropped investigation of them so we will never know whether they should be indicted.
So it is not surprising that Morsi, a former leader of the Muslim Brotherhood wants the US to impose Sharia law on critics of Islam or Mohammed.
