HOPE/CHANGE!!! Obama Hearts "57 States"

GreenPiece notes Hopey/changey wrote a letter to Organization of Islamic Conference's Secretary General promising to improve relations with the group.

This is the same group that booted a TV crew from the UN who were doing a documentary of how human rights and freedom of expression are debated.

Hmmm, maybe The One will lift US boycott and attend the Durbin Conference. The following is a few reasons why there is a boycott if the UN adopts these rules:

TEN-YEAR PROGRAMME OF ACTION

TO MEET THE CHALLENGES FACING THE MUSLIM UMMAH

IN THE 21ST CENTURY

VI. Combating terrorism

1. Emphasize the condemnation of terrorism in all its forms, and reject any justification or rationalization for it, consider it as a global phenomenon that is not connected with any religion, race, color, or country, and distinguish it from the legitimate resistance to foreign occupation, which does not sanction the killing of innocent civilians.[Emphasis mine]

VII. Combating Islamophobia

1. Emphasize the responsibility of the international community, including all governments, to ensure respect for all religions and combat their defamation.

2. Affirm the need to counter Islamophobia, through the establishment of an observatory at the OIC General Secretariat to monitor all forms of Islamophobia, issue an annual report thereon, and ensure cooperation with the relevant Governmental and Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) in order to counter Islamophobia.

3. Endeavor to have the United Nations adopt an international resolution to counter Islamophobia, and call upon all States to enact laws to counter it, including deterrent punishments.

Remember Obama's gaffe when he stated he had been to 56 states on the campaign trail and had one more to go? OIC has 57 member states. Could be nothing and he was tired...but.
