A Turkish newspaper close to President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and his ruling party is urging 57 Islamic nations to build a joint army specifically to attack Israel, notes a new report in Joseph Farah’s G2 Bulletin.
The Middle East Media Research Institute reports the article appeared on the paper’s website under the title “What If an Army of Islam Was Formed against Israel?”
It was published shortly ahead of a summit of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, which has 57 members, MEMRI reported.
The article notes, MEMRI said, “that such a joint army will greatly exceed the Israeli army in manpower, equipment and budget, and presents statistics to prove this.”
“It also advocates establishing joint bases for the army’s ground, air and naval forces that will arrive from all over the Muslim world to besiege Israel, while noting that Pakistan, as the only nuclear country, has ‘a special status’ among the OIC countries,” the report said.
MEMRI explained that many of the major points in the newspaper article were “taken from the website of the Turkish SADAT International Defense and Consulting Company, which provides consultancy on defense and warfare, both conventional and unconventional, and on military organization, training and gear.”

In other words, to create a target-rich environment for Israeli troopers.
If all the OIC joined forces today they still won't be able to defeat Isr:
The neighbours: Syria is in the middle of a civil war and the military is severely destroyed. It can barely defend itself from an Israelinvasion, leave alone invade it. Jordan is a shambles, Lebanon is not interested, Egypt has loads of its own problems, the Palestinian territories are good only for guerillas in Gaza
A bit further off: Saudia and the rest of the gulf have joke militaries; Turkey is potent as is Pakistan and Iran *
Distant enemies: Indonesia in general doesn't care, Malaysia threatens but has no ability to project force, north Africa is a shambles
* The threats - Turkey is potent, but if Turkey attacksIsrael then you're going to see the Kurds take the opportunity to push in and also Russia will take the opportunity to take the Dardanelles (since NATO will be broken)
Pakistan is tearing itself apart - if they attack, then India takes the opportunity (though this could be balanced by China, Pakistan's ally); Iran will collapse in flare-ups against the regime.
So pakistan is the real threat toIsrael.
A lot of people missed it, a lot caught it. Like you, I was in the group that immediately recognized the First Muslim’s “slip” (slip or signal?) for what it referred to.
Exactly.
And as a fun touch, He uses the vultures for cleanup.
