http://www.jihadwatch.org/archives/014599.php December 28, 2006 Muslim World League wants lawsuits for "abuse of Islam and the Prophet" Another attempt to stifle all honest discussion of the roots within Islam of Islamic jihad violence and what can be done about them. "MWL Wants Lawsuits for Abuse of Islam and the Prophet," by P.K. Abdul Ghafour in Arab <http://www.arabnews.com/?page=4§ion=0&article=77639&d=28&m=12&y=2006> News, with thanks to all who sent this in: JEDDAH, 28 December 2006 - A two-day conference organized by the Makkah-based Muslim World League yesterday called for a consultative commission in order to take legal action against those who abuse Islam and its Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and Islamic sanctities, at local and international courts of justice, the Saudi Press Agency said. The conference titled "In Defense of the Prophet" called upon Islamic countries and governments to stand united to defend the Islamic faith and its Prophet. It denounced the smear campaigns to tarnish the image of the Prophet and urged Muslims to make all-out efforts to project the true picture of Islam and the great divine teachings of the Prophet. Grand Mufti Sheikh Abdul Aziz Al-Asheikh, who presided over the conference, called upon Muslims to follow the Prophet's teachings. "Our enemies are exploiting Muslims' weak adherence to the Prophet's Sunnah," said Al-Asheikh. "We should not be ashamed of implementing his Sunnah. On the other hand, all Muslims must observe his teachings in all walks of their life." MWL Secretary-General Abdullah Al-Turki said the attack on the Prophet was an expression of enmity toward Islam. "The whole Muslim Ummah, including its leadership, scholars and ordinary people was outraged by such attacks and this again shows the lofty position the Prophet has in their hearts," he said in reference to the Muslim response to cartoons depicting the Prophet. MWL plans to launch an international program to introduce the Prophet and the conference called for setting up a fund to support the program. "The anti-Islam campaign also intends to trigger a cultural conflict between the Islamic world and the West and create a situation of clash and conflict in place of dialogue and peaceful coexistence," the MWL chief said.... Jamal Badawi <http://www.jihadwatch.org/archives/005440.php> , a Canadian-Muslim expert on Islam, spoke about the Prophet's outstanding influence on human history. "There is no other personality who has made such a positive impact on history," he told the conference.
