Islamic states want permanent seat on UN Security Council

SANAA (AFP) - Foreign ministers of the Organisation of the Islamic Conference (OIC) opened a meeting with a call for a Muslim permanent seat on the UN Security Council.

OIC secretary general Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu urged a greater role for Muslim countries in world affairs and demanded a "permanent representation for the Islamic world on the UN Security Council".

"The Islamic world, which represents one fifth of total mankind, cannot remain excluded from the activities of the Security Council which assumes a fundamental role in keeping security and peace in the world," he said Tuesday.

Ihsanoglu announced on Monday that ministers would discuss proposals for the representation of the 57-member Islamic body on the Security Council during their three-day conference in the Yemeni capital.

Calls for increasing the number of permanent members have been resonating since Germany, Japan, India and Brazil announced their wish to have veto-wielding positions like the current big five of Britain, China, France, Russia and the United States.

Yeah.....right.

umm.... most of the unrest in the world is in Islamic countries/regions. Perhaps if we excluded the Islamic world from the world, we'd have peace. That would be a start...

If the jews get their state, so should muslims. Fair is fair.

I DO believe that countries that have no democratic process for elections should be barred from participation.

And that is about 98% of that 'one fifth of mankind'...

Saudi Arabia, Syria, Lebanon, Iran, Turkey, Pakistan, Indonesia, Malaysia, Afghanistan, Jordan, Egypt... shall I go on? Okay. Yemen, Libya, Sudan, Tunisia, Algeria, Nigeria, Kuwait, Somalia... that's just off the top of my head.

Funny thing is so many Islamic countries are totally inhospitable to people of other faiths. If I were to move to any of those countries, I'd have to take my religious obervations 'underground', while Muslims are welcome to do what they do in every non-Muslim state. Go to Israel and you'll see that most landmarks are either Mosques or Churches.

There is no such thing as fair when talking about Islamic states. Nothing, that is, unless you are Muslim.
