Blasphemy Laws?
I came across this, and wonder if anyone knows more about it?
If it's what it looks like, I'm very sad to see US support going this way.

I know it's an editorial, and I'm not trying to claim that the source is unimpeachable. Just trying to find out if reports of our government supporting restriction of free speech are true.

That's exactly what I was looking for.
