Oh..I..See....

Over 36 years ago the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC) was established in Rabat, Morocco by the leaders of the Islamic world with the aim of liberating Jerusalem and Al-Aqsa from Zionist occupation. This was in the wake of the torching of Al-Aqsa Mosque by Zionist elements in occupied Jerusalem on 21 August 1969.

Oh..I..See....

Among the aims of the Organization under its Charter is to:-
"Coordinate action to (a) safeguard the Holy Places and
(b) support the struggle of the Palestinian people and assist them in recovering their rights and liberating their occupied territories."

Oh..I..See....

After 36 years the Palestinians today remain oppressed and Al-Aqsa Mosque is under the threat of demolition. To top it off there is the Wall shutting out the livelihood of these forgotten people with the ultimate aim of making Jerusalem the Capital of the state of Israel.

Oh..I..See....

Malaysia has been closely linked to the OIC since the very beginning of its formation. The late Tunku Abdul Rahman, Malaysia's first Prime Minister was also the first Secretary General of the OIC. Malaysia's Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Syed Hamid Albar is now the term Chairman of the Islamic Summit.

Oh..I..See....

No we don't. No, we don't see anything being done about Palestine, not Jerusalem not even Al-Aqsa Mosque.

The OIC Charter remains just another charter...That's what I see.
