Photo courtesy of Bakhtar News Agency The OIC is the second largest worldwide inter-governmental organization after the United Nations, with 57 member states spread over four continents: 55 OIC members are also member states of the United Nations. Afghanistan joined the OIC in 1969. Mr Muneer Osman is the first Special Envoy of the Secretary General of Organization of Islamic Conference (OIC) for Afghanistan, and on 2 January, with Afghanistan's Foreign Affairs Minister, Dr Zalmay Rassoul, he inaugurated the office. At the inauguration, Osman stressed the OIC's support to the Afghan Governments peace programmes. Minister Rassoul said that the OIC planned to hold an extraordinary summit on Afghanistan in March this year to focus on efforts to bring peace.

Developed with Altfa SolutionAll rights reserved 2010 Harakahdaily OIC bridged Shiite-Sunni gap, says sec-gen Arab NewsJEDDAH, Jan 5: The 57-member Organization of Islamic Conference (OIC) has become the voice of the Ummah and an instrument for strengthening cooperation among Muslim countries, according to its Secretary-General professor Ekmeledin Ihsanoglu. Speaking to Arab News, the OIC chief emphasized his organizations plan to foster a strategic relationship with China. He underscored the OICs efforts to bring together the Sunni and Shiite leaders of Iraq to end sectarian violence there. Ihsanoglu said the extraordinary Islamic summit, held in Makkah in 2005 under the initiative of Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah, was a turning point in the organizations history. The summit adopted a 10-year program of action covering specific areas to boost the development of the Muslim world. He said the OIC is emerging as a key player in global politics. During the Makkah summit, it was agreed upon that all schools of religious thought, or madahib, should be treated equally. This happened for the first time in history. It was a revolutionary step and a major achievement of the OIC, he said. The Jeddah-based top Muslim body is the largest organization in the Islamic world and the second largest after the United Nations. Referring to the OICs efforts to reconcile Sunnis and Shiites in Iraq, Ihsanoglu said: In 2006 we succeeded in bringing together Sunni and Shiite leaders while sectarian violence was at its peak. We made them sign on a 10-point agreement. He added that the accord contributed to lessening Sunni-Shiite fighting in the country. The Iraqi government has commended the OIC for its reconciliation efforts. He said the Sunni-Shiite conflict was a serious issue. When we invited these leaders, many of them did not want to come. We had to exert a lot of efforts to convince them to talk to one another and sign the agreement. When I visited Iraq in 2008, I found that they had become close friends, he said. Ihsanoglu spoke about efforts to strengthen his organization to play a vital role in the world in terms of conflict management and mobilizing support for Muslim causes. He said it was an OIC initiative that South African Jewish judge Goldstone was appointed to report on Israels military operation in Gaza. He said the position of the OIC today is much better than what it was five years ago. Until 2005, the OIC was not mentioned in any international forums and was not active in taking up issues except making some reactionary responses and taking routine decisions. Now the OIC is everywhere and active in all issues related to Muslims Palestine or Iraq or Afghanistan or Darfur or Somalia or issues of Muslim minorities. Last September in our annual coordination meeting in New York, UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon acknowledged that the OIC had become a crucial partner of the UN. Never before has the OIC received such a comment from the head of that international organization.

He underscored the OICs efforts to bring together the Sunni and Shiite leaders of Iraq to end sectarian violence there. Ihsanoglu said the extraordinary Islamic summit, held in Makkah in 2005 under the initiative of Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah, was a turning point in the organizations history. The summit adopted a 10-year program of action covering specific areas to boost the development of the Muslim world. He said the OIC is emerging as a key player in global politics. During the Makkah summit, it was agreed upon that all schools of religious thought, or madahib, should be treated equally. This happened for the first time in history. It was a revolutionary step and a major achievement of the OIC, he said. The Jeddah-based top Muslim body is the largest organization in the Islamic world and the second largest after the United Nations. Referring to the OICs efforts to reconcile Sunnis and Shiites in Iraq, Ihsanoglu said: In 2006 we succeeded in bringing together Sunni and Shiite leaders while sectarian violence was at its peak. We made them sign on a 10-point agreement. He added that the accord contributed to lessening Sunni-Shiite fighting in the country. The Iraqi government has commended the OIC for its reconciliation efforts. He said the Sunni-Shiite conflict was a serious issue. When we invited these leaders, many of them did not want to come. We had to exert a lot of efforts to convince them to talk to one another and sign the agreement. When I visited Iraq in 2008, I found that they had become close friends, he said. 2 Ihsanoglu spoke about efforts to strengthen his organization to play a vital role in the world in terms of conflict management and mobilizing support for Muslim causes. He said it was an OIC initiative that South African Jewish judge Goldstone was appointed to report on Israels military operation in Gaza. He said the position of the OIC today is much better than what it was five years ago. Until 2005, the OIC was not mentioned in any international forums and was not active in taking up issues except making some reactionary responses and taking routine decisions. Now the OIC is everywhere and active in all issues related to Muslims Palestine or Iraq or Afghanistan or Darfur or Somalia or issues of Muslim minorities. Last September in our annual coordination meeting in New York, UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon acknowledged that the OIC had become a crucial partner of the UN. Never before has the OIC received such a comment from the head of that international organization. Ihsanoglu also emphasized the growing role of OIC member countries at the UN General Assembly, the Security Council and other UN organizations. We have been successful in passing UN resolutions that serve the Ummah on issues such as Palestine, Islamophobia and membership in international organizations. There are five Muslim countries in the Security Council and 17 in the UN Human Rights Commission. Speaking about OIC summits, he said the Makkah summit in 2005 and Dakar (Senegal) summit in 2008 were the most successful. There was a brainstorming session attended by more than 100 prominent scholars from different parts of the Islamic world before the Makkah summit, which proposed the 10-year program of action. A paradigm shift was taking place in Makkah and Dakar. The summit in Dakar approved a new charter, which has completely changed the organization, he said. The OIC chief also refuted the general perception that OIC resolutions are only on paper. This is not true. We are taking resolutions that we can commit ourselves to. We are now pressing the Security Council to consider the Goldstone report once again. We have also taken up the issue of the Gaza Freedom Flotilla, he said, adding that 52 of its 57 member countries have recognized Palestine as an independent state. Ihsanoglu explained the OICs efforts to strengthen cooperation among Muslim countries in different areas. We have doubled our expenditure on research and development in science and technology. Intra-trade between OIC countries rose from 14 to 17 percent amounting to $500 billion. He also spoke about a plan to establish a railway line between Dakar and Port Sudan. It will link the Atlantic with the Red Sea, and African countries with the Middle East. We have done a lot of work to implement this project. Technical and ministerial meetings have taken place, he said. A feasibility study is being conducted for the railway that covers more than 10,000 km. Referring to Irans nuclear program, he said: All countries have the right to develop nuclear technology for peaceful purposes. However, he said, the OIC opposed the move to use nuclear technology for making weapons of mass destruction. He lambasted the Wests double standard toward Israels nuclear arsenal. Referring to the organizations efforts to establish peace and security, Ihsanoglu said the OIC is the largest contributor to the UN peacekeeping force. He also denounced the 3 recent terrorist attack on a church in Egypt. Copyright 2011 News.

In a statement re over by Al-Habib Ka'bashi at the meeting of the Mediation with the Arab-African Ministerial committee on Darfur, Prof. Ihsanoglu, commended the efforts being exerted by the Qatari Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, Ahmed bin Abdalla Al Mahmoud, and the joint UN-AU mediator, Djibril Bassole. The OIC Secretary General said that the negotiations of Doha on Darfur issue have reached a decisive stage and a curial juncture that necessitate evaluation of results and means of achieving the desired goals. Prof. Ihsanoglu affirmed that the Mediation has scored important achievements in the last 10 years by conducting comprehensive negotiations with all the concerned parties including the government of Sudan, movements of Darfur, the civil society of Darfur and other effective parties. He also pointed out that the government of Sudan has adopted a new strategy for resuming the peace process in Darfur, a strategy which was earlier supported by the OIC, affirming that it is high time for intensifying efforts to guarantee effective and positive involvement of all the armed movements in the peace process in Doha. Prof. Ihsanoglu called on all the movements to join the current negotiations and to demonstrate a sincere will to settle the issue of the region peacefully, besides giving priority to the legitimate demands of the people of Darfur for enjoying peace, security and stability.

Saying of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh)Feeds:PostsComments Islam in China Wins the Brass Crescent and other NewsChinas Hajj DiplomacyJanuary 5, 2011 by Wang Daiyu From Middle East OnlineChinas Hajj DiplomacyThese days, relations between China and Saudi Arabia are growing stronger originally established by Hajj diplomacy, a few years after the communists took power in China, notes Alain Gresh.Middle East OnlineAbdul Karim Yaqoub is the young executive director of the Saudi Chinese Business Council, and is at present at Shanghai University, writing a thesis on relations between China and Saudi Arabia. He has Saudi nationality, but is of Chinese origin: In 1949 several hundred Muslim Chinese, fleeing the advance of Mao Zedongs forces, emigrated to Saudi Arabia rather than Taiwan. Muslim Chinese from East Turkestan, now Xinjiang province, had already fled war in the 1930s to settle in Mecca and Medina.After the communists took power in Beijing, religion created connections between the countries, through hajj diplomacy. At the Bandung conference in Indonesia in 1955, where the leaders of 29 newly independent nations created the non-aligned movement, crown prince (and future king) Faisal, and the Chinese foreign minister Zhou Enlai, agreed to allow Chinese Muslims to make the pilgrimage to Mecca. A few dozen did so every year until the Cultural Revolution of 1966, whose aim was to eradicate traditional values, ended this.Relations deteriorated further when Riyadh established diplomatic relations with Taipei, and took an active part, in the 1960s and 70s, in the World Anti-Communist League founded by Chiang Kai-shek. (The French fascist movement Ordre Nouveau, the US Heritage Foundation and supporters of the Argentinean dictator Jorge Videla Page 1 of 6 Chinas Hajj Diplomacy Islam in China / / http://islaminchina.wordpress.com/2011/01/05/china%E2%80%99s-hajj-diplomacy /Like Be the first to like this post.were part of the league.) Saudis of Chinese origin even acted subversively against the Peoples Republic.Yaqoub says that China decided to renew its relations with Saudi Arabia in the early 1980s, while the alliance between Beijing and Washington was strengthening, and again it used hajj diplomacy: The Chinese wanted to kill two birds with one stone: they wanted to show their Muslim population that they were not against religion, and they wanted to get closer to Saudi Arabia. A meeting took place at the North-South summit in Cancun in 1981, between King Fahd and Chinese leaders. The hajj was re-established in 1979, but it remained small until 1985, when Beijing took direct charge of organization. China sent an official delegation to Riyadh for the first time, and the number of pilgrims rose from 2,000 to 12,700 in 2009 and 13,500 in 2010. There are now direct flights to Mecca from Beijing, Urumqi, Lanzhou, Yinchuan and Kunming.For China, the political advantages became obvious during the riots in Xianjian in 2009: Like most Muslim countries, with the exception of Turkey, Saudi Arabia did not condemn the repression, and even its media remained cautious. Raed Krimli, adviser to the Saudi foreign affairs minister Saud Al Faisal, said: A good Muslim should be a good citizen, whether in China or any other country. We do not interfere in the internal affairs of others, and we dont want them to interfere in ours. It is a principle we share with Beijing. Beijing is worried about the Muslim question. There are 20 million Muslims in China according to the official figures, and many more according to Saudi researchers. The two main ethnic groups are the Uighurs, who are Turkic, and the sinicised Hui, the only Chinese minority defined by their religion, who are less rebellious. They are the descendants of Arab traders who settled in the Far East in the trading era of the Silk Road. China uses them as a bridge: Last September it organized a Sino-Arab economic forum in Yinchuan, capital of the Ningxia Hui region, where the majority of Huis live.China has tackled extremism by reinforcing its Muslim legitimacy, and repressing extremist elements. For both, it needs Saudi Arabia, the guardian of the holy places of Mecca and Medina. China sends its theology students to Saudi Arabia, and is counting on its support to become an observer member of the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC), which is based in Jeddah, and has 57 member states. Last June its secretary general visited Beijing. The visit of the Chinese interior minister, Meng Jianzhu, to Riyadh in October, and the signing of an accord on security cooperation, prove a joint desire to intensify the war against terror. translated by Stephanie IrvineAlain Gresh is deputy chairman of Le Monde diplomatique and a specialist on the Middle East.2010 Le Monde diplomatique distributed by Agence GlobalPosted in Chinese Islam, Chinese Muslims | Tagged islam, china, muslim, islam in china, hajj | 1 CommentPage 2 of 6 Chinas Hajj Diplomacy Islam in China / / http://islaminchina.wordpress.com/2011/01/05/china%E2%80%99s-hajj-diplomacy /I OIC played vital role in bridging Shiite-Sunni gap: Ihsanoglu Date: 06 January 2011ARAB NEWS Jan. 06, 2011 By P.K.

The Iraqi government has commended the OIC for its reconciliation efforts. He said the Sunni-Shiite conflict was a serious issue. "When we invited these leaders, many of them did not want to come.
