Muslim-Americans call for ‘deterrent legal measures’ over anti-Islam video

Muslim-Americans in Michigan called for “deterrent legal measures” to fight Islamophobia in the wake of videos such as the movie trailer that contributed to protests in the Middle East.

“There is a need for deterrent legal measures against those individuals or groups that want to damage relations between people, spread hate and incite violence,” Osama Siblani, Publisher of The Arab American News said in a statement. “It is a need that Americans should seriously consider.”

Sibliani is one of the organizers of a rally in Dearborn, Mich., that will denounce both the video and the deadly terrorist attacks on the U.S. Embassy in Libya. “While we condemn violence against innocent Americans abroad, we equally condemn the continuing efforts by misguided individuals to hurt the religious feelings of Muslims,” he said in the statement.

From the event announcement:

The gathering is expected to draw a large crowd of community members and leaders, clergy, and public officials of all persuasions who continue to reject the messages of hate and Islamophobia that have gained momentum, most recently with the production of the provocative and derogatory film “Innocence of Muslims.” The gathering will stress that the rise of Islamophobia is hurting America’s national interests, its image abroad and inciting worldwide violence.

Simple: Outlaw Islam.

Obama and the UN can lock down the internet but that will not
stop free speech among citizens, posters, grafiti, signs, or
whatever.
Unless they make the decision to lock up or kill all 300 million Americans they will absolutely loose this battle. Threats have limited effect.

“deterrent legal measures”

I wouldn’t mind my tax dollars going for a one-way plane ticket for every offended muslim. I think Brazil is stopping speech, Turkey, Pakistan, Iran...I’m sure there are more options.

I want muslims to be comfortable and not be offended...buh bye!

We have free speech in America. Anti-Islam videos are free speech. No one is asking anyone to like them, agree with them, or even pay attention to them.

If you find them offensive you are allowed to say so and counter any arguments with your own. You see how democracy works? No killing required....only actual debate and discussion.

When any speech but, especially politcal speech, is oppressed that is when the tyrrany really has taken over. For an example of the tyrrany I’m talking about, please refer to any country dominated by Muslims and having the National religion of Islam.

Note to Muslimof the Islamic faith: if you disagree with my sentiments or they enrage you in some way, your next step should be to counter my arguments with your own. You should not kill me for being an infidel (You see how life works in the 21st century?).

I think any means used to get the information out to people that mohamHead raped and abused a 9 year old girl can only be a good thing.

islamists are just trying to hide the fact that their prophet was a child rapist and murderer.

The gig is up savages.

Notice that, in all the whining and crying about this “film”....not one of these complaints have labeled the film “false”, “inaccurate”, “wrong”, or “full of lies”.

If American-Muslims are so offended by the truth...they can go thump their Korans in their own craphole theocracies. I will not have the US Constitution changed because some religious cult wants it

If those idiots don’t want to hear Islam being insulted they should return to where they came from.

We are not surrendering our first amendment rights to free speech to please them.

They surely have no problems with insulting Christians and Jews and any other non Muslim religion.

These people can’t really be Americans. A patriotic American just wouldn’t watch something that offends him/her.

That truly defines the differences between liberals and conservatives. A conservative will just not watch, a liberal wants the film banned.
