Muslim-led nations seek global ban on insults of Muhammad
As the U.N. General Assembly convenes this week in New York, several leaders of mostly Muslim nations are suggesting that the world body consider sanctions on blasphemy, amid widespread protests against an amateur movie that denigrates Islamâs Prophet Muhammad.
