ISLAMIC leaders from around the globe are at a two day summit in Dakar, struggling to counter wars in their midst and feeling unloved and unfairly treated by the West.
US-led wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, never ending conflict between Israelis and Palestinians and strife in Sudan's Darfur region weigh heavily on the 57-member Organisation of the Islamic Conference as its leaders gather in the Senegalese capital.
OIC Secretary General Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu told foreign ministers at a pre-summit meeting that the leaders of the 1.3 billion Muslims must work on the "pressing issues confronting" them such as the death and destruction in the various countries at war.
But one foreign minister, speaking on condition of anonymity, told AFP: "We should be able to do something about this conflict. We all want to do something. But our membership and the respective interests involved are too wide for us to take the right action."
OIC foreign ministers condemned Israel's recent heightened attacks on Palestinian targets and diplomats said the leaders would take similar action at the summit but nothing stronger could be expected.

Give up Islam and then there will be hope.
WaaHaaHaa, BooHoo!!...cry me a river...
whatta bunch of clowns...
Sometimes, you reap what you sow.
How about having legitimate education instead of hate-filled propaganda in their schools?
How about ... tolerance?
What a stupid religion and stupid group of people.
It seems to me that the foremost "struggle" in islam is How to Create as much conflict as possible whenever and wherever possible.
(It's a never ending job, doncha know)
Don't get me wrong...Muslims are by nature a psychotic bunch, capable of dealing out a LOT of misery of death.
But this whole James-Bond-villain-take-over-the-world and rename it "Planet Islam" is so farcical on its face. Nothing but a adolescent pipe-dream whipped up into a lather by a bunch of sexually-repressed cockroaches who want some sort of validity to their pathetic existence by cooking up this 72-virgin nonsense.
Muslims already control much of the world and look at what utter basket-cases these countries are.
But no, Osama, ImaNutJob, and all these other sand-clowns assure their brain-washed fist-shakers: "When we eliminate the last infidel forever, it will be Heaven on Earth."
Yeah, right. I got a Brooklyn Bridge to sell ya, along with a couple of dhimmocratic Presidential candidates who consider themselves actually qualified to lead the Free World.

If islamists were human they might have a chance to be loved.
Hey, you ignorant Moozies, if you want an answer to your rhetoric question, you need look no further than your actions during this gathering, i.e.:
"OIC foreign ministers condemned Israel's recent heightened attacks on Palestinian targets and diplomats said the leaders would take similar action at the summit but nothing stronger could be expected.
Yet you "decline" to level any such recriminations against the Pali Terrorist who have been lobbing missiles into Israel on a regular basis, much less even mention the massacre of those innocent school children.
How about y'all go pound sand for starters!!
If they would stop chopping heads off while videotaping the whole thing and singing religious chants, stoning women to death, mutilating girls, sexually, emotionally and physically abusing children, flying planes into buildings, hijacking planes, locking children in schoolrooms and torturing and murdering them, shooting priests and nuns at random, preventing Christians and Jews from practicing their religions, wailing and moaning about discrimination, they would be really nice people
“The renewed publication in Denmark of cartoons seen as denigrating the Prophet Mohammed and the looming release of a Dutch film that its extreme-right maker says will call the Koran “fascist” have become the latest catalyst for Muslim anger.
“We are confronted by the hatred and bigotry of radical marginal groups of people who believe that it is only through insulting Muslim and their religious symbols that they can demonstrate their commitment to freedom of speech,” the OIC secretary general told foreign ministers.”
No, the real problem is Muslims who immigrate to the West want to force the West to live by Muslim religious taboos that directly conflict with Western freedoms. Muslims try to force their non-secular ways on the West, and regrettably there are far too many cowardly Westerners who are willing to comply to some extent.
The solution is for Western cowards to grow a spine and join with others to present a loud and united rejection of Muslim attempts to force their repressive religious taboos on the West. Then Muslims would realize they either accept Western secular values, or conclude that they don’t belong in Western nations and get the hell out.
There is great power in the simple, overwhelming rejection of stupid ideas brought here by immigrants, whether based on religion or whatever.
So they're feeling put upon? Too damn bad. If they'd stop going around the world blowing up infidels, and even their co-religionists, folks in the West might change their attitudes toward them.
