The virulently antisemitic, terror-enabling Organization of the Islamic Conference is meeting in Senegal to “rebrand” itself, with a whinefest of epic proportions about a nonexistent phobia: Islamic body seeks new role to fight ‘Islamophobia’.

DAKAR (Reuters) - Facing “Islamophobia” in the West, the world’s biggest Islamic body is seeking to rebrand itself this week as a forum for settling conflicts peacefully and for redistributing wealth to the world’s poorest states.

At a summit on Thursday and Friday in Senegal, the 57-nation Organisation of the Islamic Conference (OIC) will seek to agree on a modern charter that will give it a more active, influential role as the voice of Islam in a globalised world.

OIC leaders meet in Dakar at a time when suspicion in the West about the Muslim world remains high, still colored by the September 11, 2001 attacks carried out by Osama bin Laden’s al Qaeda in the name of militant Islam.

Subsequent attacks by Islamic militants in Spain and Britain, coupled with the U.S.-led “war on terror” in Iraq and Afghanistan and the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, have stoked fears of a global clash of civilizations.

If you ignore their usual hair-splitting, that’s actually a pretty good description from Reuters of the many barbaric attacks perpetrated by Muslims against the West.

So in the face of mass murder by Muslims and a worldwide jihad movement, what is the OIC concerned about?

OIC Secretary-General Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu called for a concerted effort by the group to promote dialogue and mutual respect with the non-Muslim world to fight hatred and bigotry.

“Combating Islamophobia is and will continue to be one of the biggest challenges faced by the Muslim World,” he told OIC foreign ministers meeting in Dakar.

And yes, the United States is taking part in this disgusting farce: New envoy hopes to better explain U.S. to Muslim world.

WASHINGTON (CNN) — An American Muslim, appointed new U.S. envoy, headed off Monday with the goal of repairing the battered image of the United States in the Muslim world.

Sada Cumber, a Pakistani native, is the new special envoy to the Organization of Islamic Conference, a caucus of 57 Muslim nations.

Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said at a reception for conference countries at the State Department that Cumber will help the United States explain itself to the Muslim world.

Aaarrrrggghhh.
