The OIC’s Journey to Enlightenment
Published By: S.Rajaratnam School of International Studies | Published Date: June, 07 , 2007Reflecting on the speeches made at the 34th meeting of the Foreign Ministers of the Organisation of Islamic Conference (OIC) held in Islamabad recently, one could suggest that nothing new was mentioned. Though the expected calls for eradicating poverty and the need for more progressive ideas amongst Muslim communities were conducted in accordance with the OIC’s enlightened moderation agenda, many critics suggest that not much has been done since the agenda’s establishment in 2005. Much of the Muslim world still remains trapped in poverty and illiteracy while armed conflict and extremism remains prevalent in various parts of the Muslim world.
