Punish criminals for dishonouring Prophet(sm)

The person or persons in the USA who made the film dishonouring the holy Prophet of Islam Muhammad (sm) committed an unforgivable crime. Their criminal act has created a terrible situation in the world. Scores of people have been killed due to their criminal acts. While strongly condemning the criminals and their heinous act, I would request the US President Barack Obama to take initiative to punish the criminals who dishonoured our Prophet(SM) of Islam and hurt the sentiments of the Muslims all over the world. At the same time, the United States should pass necessary legislation prohibiting such criminal act(s) in the name of freedom of speech. In my opinion, this criminal act might have been designed to stop President Obama from winning the coming presidential election. It may be mentioned here that according to a post-election poll by the American Muslim Taskforce on Civil Rights and Elections (AMT), nearly 90% of American Muslims voted for Barack Obama in 2008.
