At a time when the world is wrangling with the threat posed by the so-called Islamic State and the resulting refugee crisis bringing an influx of Muslims into Europe, I am pleased to share that my most recent legal journal article was published this month by the International Journal for Religious Freedom (Vol. 7, Issue 1, 2014). The article is entitled, "Defending the freedom of expression: The danger and failure of the Organization for Islamic Cooperation’s campaign for global anti-blasphemy laws" (article starts at page 31).
There is no question that when it comes to an open discussion about religion, and more particularly, Islam, many in the Western world either hesitate or pause before sharing their legitimate questions, comments or concerns. However, the Organization for Islamic Cooperation ("OIC"), an international body representing the world's Muslim nations, has made a concerted effort to attempt to legally stifle any and all legitimate criticism of Islam, which it deems "blasphemy".
My article critically examines the OIC's campaign for global anti-blasphemy laws and argues that these laws once more
represent a dangerous legislative proposition that must be defeated by Western and
allied democracies. Take the time to read this carefully, and feel free to Tweet at me to discuss. I hope you enjoy reading my work.
