Further, I note that Islamic countries are calling on the USA to support an international law against blasphemy.

As a Christian, I hate blasphemy, but I'll let God vindicate His own name (and I shudder to report that I've seen instances where that may have actually happened). As long as I can call Bill Maher a bitter guy who's not quite as intelligent as he thinks he is after being thwacked by the nuns a few too many times, and note that the typical atheist ideology is just a kind of idolatry, I'd prefer the First Amendment to stick around a while longer, thank you.
