ISLAMABAD – PML-Q President Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain on Tuesday said he would call upon Muslims in United States not to vote for President Obama if he failed to take action against those responsible for making the blasphemous film, which hurt the sentiments of over a billion Muslims across the world.According to media reports, Shujaat told reporters at his residence that freedom of expression had nothing to do with the sacrilegious movie, which he termed profane and a brazen act of terrorism.Demanding the government to pressurise the US for direct action against those who made such a film against Islam, he said disrespect to the Holy Prophet (peace be upon him) was a gross act of terrorism; hence, the responsible persons should be given the severest punishment."The matter necessitates not just verbal protest, but pressuring the US for a direct action," he added.The United Nations and the Organization of the Islamic Cooperation (OIC), he stated, should vehemently raise their voice on the matter and take up some practical measures.
