Moslims start blasphemy lawsuit against Ayaan Hirshi Ali MP

A number of Dutch moslims have asked Mr. R.Moszkowicz to file a suit against the Dutch Parliamentarian Ayaan Hirshi Ali, who wrote the scenario for the film Submission, shot by Theo van Gogh.

The claimants seek to prevent the production of Submission II. And want mrs. Ayaan Hirshi Ali to stop making grievious remarks about the Islam.. Some critics have pointed out that this step is an upbeat to quel the critics by seeking to impose legal censure.
