The Occupation Of The Un And Human Rights Org. By The Global Islamic Lobby: The OIC

The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) presents itself as a bloc dedicated to advancing Islamic interests globally, often pushing an agenda that prioritizes the expansion of Islamic influence at the expense of Western values and principles. As the second-largest intergovernmental organization after the United Nations, the OIC holds considerable sway in shaping global policies, frequently promoting narratives that are more concerned with Islamic solidarity than with universal freedoms or democratic values.

In its efforts to assert Islamic interests, the OIC often seeks to control critical global discussions on human rights, religious freedom, and security. This influence is frequently exercised in ways that align with the interests of authoritarian, Muslim-majority regimes, while undermining the values of individual liberty and democracy that are fundamental to the West. Its intervention in areas like governance, religious freedom, and human rights often directly conflicts with the principles upheld by Western democracies, notably the protection of religious minorities and free speech.

The OIC’s reluctance to address the threat of jihadist extremism within its ranks raises serious concerns. While it positions itself as a defender of Muslim communities, it has often failed to confront or condemn the rise of violent Islamist ideologies, including jihadism. In some cases, the organization has actively obstructed efforts to tackle this global threat. Rather than pushing for meaningful action against extremist ideologies, the OIC has often chosen to advance a political and ideological agenda that prioritizes the interests of certain Muslim-majority nations over the security and values of the global community, including the West. Through its influential role, the OIC works to shape global policy in a manner that aligns with its members' ideological goals, undermining efforts to safeguard security and the values that have long defined the Western world.

This large bloc of 57 countries wields significant power at the UN, consistently dictating agendas and using its collective influence to lobby for votes that align with its ideological and political goals. Through strategic alliances and pressure tactics, the OIC ensures that the global agenda often reflects the interests of authoritarian regimes and the expansion of Islamic influence, rather than the principles of individual liberty, democratic governance, and security that are central to Western values.

The following is an excerpt from a 2014 (!) article sounds familiar and that was before Angela Merkel's 1 million Muslim imports to Germany:

There are more than 50 countries in the world which have an Islamic constitution or where the majority of the population follows the Islamic faith. The Organization of Islamic Co-operation (OIC) has 57 nations as its members. It is the second largest international organ only preceded by the United Nations. India was not included in this international body because Pakistan actively opposed India's participation. India has more Muslims than many other smaller Islamic states that are members of the OIC.

Over the years we have seen how this international organization has used its platform to lobby and coerce other states into following norms that may be alien to their cultural practices. OIC even tried to internationalize the Kashmir issue, which India insists is an internal matter. Let us stop beating around the bush. There is something called Islamic lobbyism and it is far stronger than Jewish lobbyism.

We saw how the world opinion was shaped in the present Israel-Palestine conflict. Muslims in European countries are also getting highly organized and are now demanding removal of journalists with Jewish background from the function of newsreader or as hosts on TV programmes. One such case was recently noticed in Denmark when Martin Krasnik, a host at a popular news analysis programme, was dubbed an incompetent Zionist, and thousands of signatures were collected to demand his removal from his post, just because he is of Jewish origin.

In Europe more and more mosques are funded from abroad, creating room for increasing the possibility of cultural influence. Very few dare to question the sources of the funding. But as soon as some writers try to question the validity and impunity of Hamas, or Hezbollah or ISIS, then eyebrows are raised.

Pankaj Mishra, in a well-read and widely circulated article written on 3rd August in Bloomberg View, does agree that Israelis are unfairly singled out because of their acts of self-defence, but simultaneously even he fails to bring forth examples of genocide committed by Islamic countries. It is acceptable for Pankaj Mishra to cite an example of Sri Lanka's civil war, where 40,000 were killed. But he fails to mention the genocide committed by West Pakistan on Bangladesh in 1971 where 3 million people were killed. One does not have to go far back in history. The death toll in the present war in Syria is soon to surpass the total of 200,000. It is an example of atrocity committed by one Muslim group on another. But Israel always faces the brunt of international pressure for defending, relatively speaking, a tiny piece of earth compared to the vast area of earth controlled by Islamic countries.

It is welcoming news that Israel is withdrawing its troops from Gaza, but the damage is done to its international image. If the Jewish lobby was so strong, how come they did not manage to influence and win the world opinion to their side?

We are witnessing a growing global anti-Israel animosity spreading right across the globe. Hamas, which is a terrorist organization, enjoys impunity when one-sided criticism of Israel is endorsed in the United Nations resolution singling out Israel for condemnation.

It is simply a myth that the Jewish lobby is strong. Compare it with the influence of Islamic countries which are so many in numbers and which have constantly opposed India's and Israel´s positions on sensitive issues.
