TEHRAN (FNA)- Members of the Iranian parliament's Security Commission are developing a project to create the United Army of Islamic Countries, two lawmakers Ismail Kosari and Mahmoud Ahmadi said here on Monday.

Kosari said that once the project was approved at the parliament, the Iranian government would discuss with Islamic countries the creation of the United Army of Islamic Countries in order to prevent attacks on the member states.

The United Army will be created under the auspices of the Organization of Islamic Conference (OIC).

Ahmadi also said he believes if the project is discussed and approved by Islamic countries, they will render not only moral but also practical assistance to Palestine.

BTW, the OIC created the Bayt Mal Al Quds Agency whose objectives are:

To salvage the city of Al Quds Al Sharif (Jerusalem); To extend assistance to the Palestinian population and Palestinian institutions in the holy capital; To safeguard and restore the Al Aqsa Mosque and other holy sites in the city.

Which states would participate? Syria is the only state regime in the region siding with Iran. Neither any of the other Arab states, nor Afghanistan or Pakistan would join... leaves maybe rogues like Somalia or Sudan... but that’s highly dubious. Even Lybia is currying it’s favor with the West. And I doubt that Assad would give up his control of the Syrian army for a dubious pact that would cost him dearly.

oh fer’ cryin’ out loud this is another wacko idea from Iran for what to emulate Barack Obama’s idea or to somehow IDEOLOGICALLY challenge him in their own twisted way?
The iranians have their own army;what they haven’t had
since the involvement with Iraq is the necessary 12 to 18 year old religious boys who will sacrifice themselves for the sake of the religious cause jihad, to become shaheed.
These chaps are more interested in x-box,playstation ,internet , music, etc so i’ll paraphrase it for you from them “ SCREW YOU”

The Islamic world is playing for keeps and our idiot leaders think that we can talk them out of their agenda.

Frankly, I’ll believe it when I see it. As much as these nutcases dream of pan-Islamic unity, the reality is that their tribalism, petty rivalries and centuries-old grudges will likely prevent them from ever doing something like this.

Whatever the Iranians do, I hope they form up their new force someplace where we can get at it.

You may have heard about a year ago about an unfortunate accident at the main Iranian surface-to-surface missile factory and arsenal. The earth shook for miles.

Awwww.

I guess the Iranian Mullets have seen the movie ‘the 300’ and decided to recreate the glorious Persia.

conscription is not jihad

they run this campaign every 5 to 7 years
to fill the ranks by conscription / anyone
who feels compelled to jihad is not held
back and those who “make”jihad are destined
shaheed;therefore the glory, so it’s really
like a hamster wheel of blood guts & glory
and no-one wins

I signed up for the army and got a promotion-
all I got was this bunch of
lousy red tulips- i doan’ see
no virgins roun’ he-ah’...........

Right. It looks like Iran would expect to have operational control of this combined army. How many Arabs would willingly serve under Persian commanders?

{United Army of Islamic Countries} = with Terhan holding the leash...this is too good to be true.

Of course it might only on the surface - and the down and stupid of their societies will join to make it look legit - but since Muslims don’t trust each other anyway - there’s little chance of a United Front against the West...their whole society and culture is corrupt by our standards - and it’s the standards of Western Capitalism that has flourished - not those of the Sinai!

Don't leave the majority of voters out of that idiocy. They're the ones who put Chairman Hussein in the White House and the RATS in charge of Congress.

This is why the Arabs are crying and moaning that the Arab world is falling apart. The Persians are on the march and rich arabs aren’t.

Just what the world needs for instability: a united Muslim Army with nuclear weapons. Let’s see if SecState Clinton buys into this idea for a suicide pact to bury Western civilization.

Agreed, most of this country has no idea what we are dealing with here. If they had any sense at all, they would just look to the UK to see what is coming here and try not to repeat their mistakes.
