Islamic Union

[R.A.W.]

India has very good relationship with almost all Islamic State of the world, my friend.

Even Indian entry into OIC is just blocked by Pakistan with rest of the states supporting India.

India has the third largest Muslim population in the world after Indonesia, Pakistan and has shown an interest in joining the OICs as an observer nation.[37] While India's candidacy is supported by several OIC members including Saudi Arabia,[38] Malaysia, Iran and Egypt,[37] some influential OIC members like Pakistan have blocked India's inclusion into the OIC. They refer to the rules of the OIC, which state that an aspirant should not have an ongoing conflict with a member state.

To be fair, the whole concept of Islamic union might just bring moderation to extremist nations joining this union. Arabs will need to take the sensibilities of Iranians and Pakistanis and vice versa. Indonesian and Malay Muslims are moderate and would need to be accommodated. Hence a consensus based decision making would need to emerge. Any consensus based system like democracy brings moderation to the society. Wahabi form of Islam, supported by Petro Dollar is the malaise of most Muslim countries might be subdued by rational sufi and neo sufi Islam. It might do good to the world on large. India and most non Muslim world do not have any problem with Muslims. We have problems with irrational extremism, irrespective of which religion. Hopefully, a peaceful Islamic union, following rule of law, will negate the base of non-muslim extremism. The moot question, that will need to be answered is – Will perceived benefit of such an union overcome nationalism and pride of the constituent nations? Will the emirs who exercise tremendous power on account of petro dollar, accept a round table instead of autocracy ?

You are exactly right. We covered it previously in this post:

They refer to the rules of the OIC, which state that an aspirant should not have an ongoing conflict with a member state.

That's not much different than NATO or other organizations.

Turks are not slaves or dogs who are chained in front of the EU's door.We saw the truths when europeans accepted the old soviet block countries instead of us in 2005..If other Müslim countries decide to create an Islamic union,i am sure most of us will support this idea and want to join it..Accordind to me the most important thing will be the politic and strategic union in this structure and we can solve this problem with USA's goverment system,not with EU's.
