A new poll of American Muslims is deeply unsettling. Conducted by the respected Wenzel Group, it found that 58% of those sampled believe that the Constitution’s First Amendment should not allow criticism of Islam or Muhammad.
Dr. Andrew Bostom, author of the breathtaking new book: Shariah Versus Freedom, reports, 45% said those who criticize or parody Islam in the U.S. should face criminal charges, while another 17% were "unsure". And fully 12% of this Muslim sample said that the penalty for doing so should be death.
Clearly, not all Muslims in this country want to subvert our constitutional rights, let alone turn their exercise into capital offenses. We must not ignore the fact, however, that many do – and those opposed to such practices are not standing up for freedom.
