1:00.  Act for America's Guy Rodgers.  

1:30.  The Organization of Islamic Cooperation, OIC,  this is the Islamic body at the UN.  It's basically looking to shut down free speech about Islam.  Tell us a bit more about who they are and what they're doing at the OIC.  

1:42.  The OIC is the 56 Muslim states and the Palestinian Authority, and they're the [2nd] largest International body [after the UN].  They have been working at this effort to in effect criminalize any speech that is deemed in their view offensive or insulting to Islam they've been working on this now for about 15 years as a UN. They've gotten resolutions passed in the past.  They talk about broadening the resolution, saying "we opposed defamation of religion, generally speaking."  That's not what it's about.

2:20.  UN resolution 1618.  

2:22.   They got it passed they got it passed in 2011 this is what was different about this one.  This was the first time that our government worked with them to get this past and all the prior efforts that they had at the UN going back to the 1990s our government did not work with the Muslims.  This time, former Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, went to the OIC and said, "Can you draft a resolution that will deal with the issue of islamophobia, the denigration of a religion, and still Protect free speech?  

2:57.  Is the Obama Administration . . . what you're telling us, Guy, is basically the American government, the Obama Administration is actually working willingly with this organization that is seeking to shut down . . . basically, this show would not happen if the OIC had its way.

3:15.  How does Benghazi, rewinding a bit to September 2012, Guy, how does Benghazi factor into all of this because when I look back initially the administration blamed the Benghazi Massacre on a film, a low budget film about Muhammad that nobody has seen, and that filmmaker is jailed now.  Obviously we can't get into the administration's heads, but do you think there may have been and ulterior motive there with their whole tack of blaming that film? 

3:45.  Well, it's very clear it was.  They ran ads in the Muslim world decrying the film.  So this has been the message from the Obama Administration from day one.  So what the OIC found was the first time a willing partner in pushing the agenda of their goal of criminalizing anything that denigrates Islam.  What's interesting is is that the State Department will say, "No, this resolution doesn't do this.  Resolution 1618 doesn't do this."  The Istanbul Process which is now they're having meetings now about every 6 months to implement this.  That doesn't do this.  Yeah, to globally implement it.  And yet when you read the leaders of the OIC say, there was a Saudi Gazette article back in February, and this leader said the 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 denigrations of religions.  They're not hiding what they're trying to do. 

4:50.  One religion: Islam. 

4:51.  That's correct.  Because here's the thing.  If they were serious about criminalizing the denigration of all religions, well, you'd have to do things differently in Saudi Arabia, in Yemen, and Iran, and so on, because they denigrate Christianity and Judaism all the time.  

5:08.  No churches.  No synagogues.  No Bibles allowed in Saudi Arabia.
