Stakelbeck on Terror: The First Amendment Under Fire - July 9, 2013.  

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 Factory into all of this because when I look back initially the administration blame the Benghazi Massacre on a film, low budget film about Muhammad that nobody has seen,
