Calling for the Death Penalty Worldwide for Criticizing Islam

Pakistan introduced a resolution to the Untied Nations. Pakistan, speaking for the 57-nation Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC), the largest voting block in the U.N., said, "All Muslim countries should put pressure on the UN to pass a law with death penalty for those committing blasphemy."

The so-called “blasphemy” resolution introduced by Pakistan and supported by some Middle East regimes called upon governments to combat critical, insulting or defamatory statements about religion, specifically the Islamic faith.
