"Regarding its boycott, the Obama administration said it could not endorse any statement that singled out Israel or included passages demanding a ban on language considered an "incitement" of religious hatred. Such calls "run counter to the U.S. commitment to unfettered free speech," said State Department spokesman Robert Wood"

DId I hear "the US commitment to unfettered free speech"?
So how can Europe has "thought crime law" which is used to prosecute, fine and jail anybody who disagrees with the government version of holocaust? Historians and researchers have gone to jail because they dared to give a speech or write a paper to refute some parts of the government version of the holocaust in WWII. So is Obama not aware of this? Isn't that the worst kind of violation of "the US commitment to unfettered free speech" or if this violation is done by Zionists then it is acceptable?

I as a Muslim do not want any ban on criticism of Islam. I believe Islam has enough strength in it to counter and answer these criticsms. Different interpretations of Islam by different Muslims has to be critisized and debated.
Muslims began slipping after they gave up on debate and preferred dogma of some of the scholars ove r the teachings of Quran.
To make my point I can cite a saying from prophet Muhammad PBUH who said:" to seek knowledge is a must for every Muslim man and woman" .1400 years later Taliban in Afghanistan interpretted this as "girls don't need education past fifth grade" and shut down girl's schools.

Quran always challenges its followers to "think, reflect, rationalize" . As for those who are slandering Muslims, it is easy to counter them and not by baning them but by exposing them and airing their dirty laundary.
