[edit] Flag
What does the writing mean.....what does it represent?
- Allahu Akbar, though the calligraphy is rather ornate, and the person who devised the SVG file was apparently not experienced in the Arabic alphabet, so it's rather hard to read off the image shown on this page. See http://flagspot.net/flags/int-oic.html for a better pic... AnonMoos 15:15, 24 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Member states
Article states "It groups 57 mostly Islamic nations..." But the membership includes Guyana and Suriname, which aren't "mostly Islamic" at all.
- I think it means "57 nations, most of them Islamic", not "57 nations, all primarily Muslim" Pure inuyasha 00:04, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

- I noticed the same thing. Since it had been discussed here and there was nothing to suggest otherwise, I made that change. JodyB 14:36, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Court?
In reviewing (briefly) various Islamic and Arab intergovernmental organizations, I've noticed an absence of judicial organs. Neither the OIC, the Arab League or the Gulf Cooperation Council seem to possess a sitting body to mediate or adjudicate disputes among member governments. Is this reflective of some aspect of Arab or Islamic culture? Tfleming 18:55, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
- The thing is, the two most prominent of these, the OIC and the Arab League, can barely be called intergovernmental organizations, realistically. In reality there is not a lot of comprehensive political cooperation between Arab or Islamic states at all. One major factor which divides Arab and Islamic states between themselves is each nation's own diplomatic status with the USA & the EU. Ironically, it seems the only two Islamic nations with comprehensive (economic, political, social) relations with eachother right now are Syria & Iran, (which is unusual, since Iran is mainly Shiite & Syria is a Sunni-majority nation) due to their "in the doghouse" political status with the world's hyperpower and wannabe hyperpower.
- To answer the question though, The lack of judicial organs in these primarily superficial intergovernmental organizations is mostly just a severe lack of perceptive unity coupled with a much greater interest in economic cooperation, not a reflection of Arab or Islamic culture.

[edit] Relation to Al Qaida
The introduction refers to Al Qaeda - what exactly is the relationship in question? (I'm not disputing, just the language is confusing.) Peter Grey 17:14, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:OIC-Flag.jpg
Image:OIC-Flag.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] "Immigrate Populate Dominate"
The article asserts:
- In 1982, the foreign ministers of the OIC adopted the controversial plan to Immigrate, Populate, Dominate to serve as a guidance for the member states in the matters of Islamic presence in other non-Muslim countries.
But there is no source, and I can find no references for it. Nor does it seem likely that such an explosive plan would have escaped the notice of right-wingers and the media worldwide.
Could someone please verify this?

[edit] Tanzania
I think Tanzania should figure somewhere on this page. --Thecurran (talk) 21:09, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
Tanzania is closer to Saudia Arabia than member state, Mozambique, has more Muslims, and has a higher percentage of Muslims, but it is not even an observer state. This is quite intriguing. :)--Thecurran (talk) 16:27, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
But ZANZIBAR is. Zanzibar is an autonomous part of Tanzania and contains most of the nations Muslims... so... yeah. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dalmatianfan52 (talk • contribs) 12:58, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Republic of Kosovo
Somehow someone added Kosovo to the "observer" status of this organization. Kosovo is not an observer as the official website http://www.oic-oci.org/oicnew/page_detail.asp?p_id=179 will point out.
[edit] Members
It seems as though many of the listings in the "members" are anachronistic; it states that the "Islamic Republic of Afghanistan" joined in 1969, yet that legal entity did not exist at the time (in 1969, Afghanistan was officially the "Kingdom of Afghanistan"). As many of the countries listed have undergone significant changes in government status, I recommend that this section be reformed to reflect the admission of each government into this organization, not each country. --Goon Noot (talk) 22:19, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] International Islamic University Malaysia
It is related to OIC, as said in [1]. Mention it here please.
P.S:Someone please show me how to make a proper link. I tried the way that is revealed to me in a tutorial not long ago but it doesn't turn out well. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Azar2804 (talk • contribs) 13:30, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
