Islamic Nations Eye UN Security Council Seats

Islamic nations should be represented in an expanded U.N. Security Council "in proportion to their membership of the United Nations," according to foreign ministers of the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC).

In a resolution passed at a meeting in Uganda last week, the ministers pointed to size of the Islamic bloc in the international community, noting that its members make up "one-fifth of the world population."

Any proposal to reform and enlarge the U.N. Security Council "which neglects the adequate representation of the Islamic Ummah [community] in any category of membership ... will not be acceptable to the Islamic World," they said.

"The OIC's demand for adequate representation in the Security Council is in keeping with the significant demographic and political weight of the OIC member states."

The Security Council currently has five permanent, veto-wielding members -- the U.S., Britain, France, China and Russia -- and 10 non-permanent members that serve for two-year periods. Various proposals under consideration to reform the institution include expanding it to have more seats in both categories, earmarked for various geographic regions.

One model suggested by an expert panel appointed by former U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan, for instance, would establish six new permanent seats - two each for Africa and Asia, and one each for Europe and the Americas.

An alternative model discussed by the panel would add no permanent seats, but create a new, semi-permanent tier of eight seats -- two each from Asia, Africa, Europe and the Americas, occupied for four-year stints, and subject to renewal.

Neither of the models put forward envisages seats earmarked for non-geographic groups, such as a bloc of Islamic nations.

Islam is trying to move one step closer to world domination.

All 57 Islamic states? Paging Barack Hussein Obama. Please pick up the light blue courtesy phone!

Any proposal to reform and enlarge the U.N. Security Council "which neglects the adequate representation of the Islamic Ummah [community] in any category of membership ... will not be acceptable to the Islamic World," they said.

Just highlighted the important words......nothing makes these people happy.

Why doesn’t OIC rename their group to fit:

OIT - Organization of Islamic Terrorists.

[PubliusMM]

Lookin’ around Europe and Asia, and Canada, I’d say they are making progress in their march to world domination.

We must stop this cancer on humanity.

I’m no fan of the UN, and to alter representation like this should spell its end, quickly.

[Will88]

There could be no better indication that it’s past time the US departed from any involvement with the UN.

ISLAM HERE ADMITS TO BEING A GOVERNMENT - NOT A RELIGION ! ! !
Now we in America can remove all alien governments like Islam without violating any freedom of religion issues.

Islam has, by their UN whine, defined Islam as governmental in nature.

In America no religion can be governmental.

Remove Islam, and Islamic people, from America because it antithetical to, and irreconcilable with, American government.

Islam delenda est.
