Algeria at UN: Limit free speech, protect Islam

Algeria is proposing an initiative under the auspices of the United Nations that would limit freedom of expression in order to prevent the stigmatizing and denigrating of Islam.

Malaysia’s foreign minister Anifah Aman told the assembly on Saturday that attacks on Islam shouldn’t be protected by freedom of speech laws.

“Why is it when Muslims are stigmatized and defamed, it is defended as freedom of expression?” he asked.
