how far...
the OIC members were having a special meeting in Putrajaya yesterday in regards to the current situation in Lebnon. the president of OIC, malaysia current prime minister, Abdullah Ahmad Badawi is carrying a big task on his shoulder in driving the OIC team to provide an alternative solution in order to either persuade Lebnon and Israel to stop the war or by any means, make an effort to halt it for a certain period of time before any further peace making move could be made by the UN. whether this meeting will provide a solution or just a mere discussion, will reflect the image of Islamic nation. could this be the starting point for all the Islamic country leaders to put themselve on a reality ground and to realise that the world is on our side at the moment. we, have been living in fantasies for such a long period and the question that arise now is; "should we answer to the wake up call or should we just press the snooze button and keep on dreaming?".the latter action will only delay the peace process in the middle east and at the same time, without our consent and realisation, we are actually losing a lot of our potential future leaders. reminding myself, in the first para of brief history of OIC, it is clearly stated that OIC and the members has decided "to pool their resources together, combine their efforts and speak with one voice to safeguard the interest and ensure the progress and well-being of their peoples and those of other Muslims in the world over."
will the 54 state actors in OIC take the responsibility to fullfill this promise or should we just let the non-state actors grab the oppurtunity to handle this responsibility, like what we are witnessing now.
if what we see now in Lubnan doesnt really move them into making an affirmative action in providing solution or taking a firm stand, i guess we should just question them "If not now, when?". the cries, the pledge will be useless if we still cant convince ourself that we are capable of doing something, not only for Lebnon or Palestine, but for the rest of the world regardless they are Muslim or non-Muslim.
p/s:we cry, we shout, we protest...but who are we if we a not united....
