Useless organization.
Should be disbanded.

Does anyone know if they have ever done anything to help Muslims?

The "Oh I See" has done lots for Muslims, by becoming the rubber stamp of NATO which destroyed or is destroying progressive Muslim-majority societies like Libyan Jamahiriya and Syria. I was searching for "Oh I See" statements from 2011 about easy support whenever NATO governments spoke anything in the United Nations Terrorist Council, but I am unable to find those statements.

• Meeting in Bali co-organized by the governments of Indonesia and Qatar
• Indonesia has made Afghanistan one of its priority foreign aid commitments

JAKARTA: Indonesia hosted on Thursday the first international conference to garner support for Afghan women’s education.

Afghan girls and women have been facing growing uncertainty since the Taliban took control of the country last year, with an estimated 3 million secondary school girls kept out of school for more than a year.

The International Conference on Afghan Women’s Education was held in Bali, co-organized by the governments of Indonesia and Qatar — the first such meeting to take place since the Taliban takeover, gathering representatives of 38 countries, international organizations, NGOs and academics.

Indonesia, the world’s largest Muslim-majority country, has made Afghanistan one of its priority foreign aid commitments, with assistance directed mostly to support women’s empowerment and education.

“We cannot choose to remain idle, we must do something,” Indonesian Foreign Minister Retno Marsudi told a press conference.

“I firmly believe investing in women means investing in a brighter future, given the opportunity women can make a critical contribution to society.”

Marsudi said that creating conducive conditions for women’s participation in Afghan society was of critical importance, and urged participants to “encourage progress to establish an inclusive government that respects women’s rights” and “guarantee education for all.”

Under its new rulers, Afghanistan has been struggling to achieve growth and stability, as foreign governments have refused to recognize the Taliban and the aid-dependent Afghan economy has been in freefall following the suspension of billions of dollars in foreign aid.

As human rights violations against women and girls mounted steadily in the last year, restriction on women’s employment, in particular, was estimated to cost Afghanistan’s gross domestic product up to $1 billion, or about 5 percent, according to UN data.

The conference was a “good steppingstone,” Qatar’s assistant foreign minister, Lolwah Rashid Al-Khater, told participants at the Bali meeting.

Indonesia and Qatar are working together on a scholarship program dedicated to Afghan people and planning to create economic opportunities through microloans. The two governments are also keen on facilitating policies that would connect the Afghan private sector to their international counterparts.

“One message for the international community: Education is a basic right for all ... and it’s important for myself and my colleagues as well — me as a Muslim woman — to confirm that this is not part of a faith; preventing women from their basic rights is not part of the faith,” Al-Khater said.

“It is our obligation as Muslim-majority countries to confront that and to say to any actors that this does not represent us, this does not represent the faith of Islam.”

1. The Qatari lady, Lolwah, is LOL really. It is in her Qatar that Taliban has had an openly-operating embassy for a decade, in addition to a big American military base. If she is really sincere in wanting the best for Afghan women then she must arrest the Talibs in Qatar and say that her government will execute them in a stadium just like the Taliban do in Afghanistan, unless the Taliban stop spending on new mosque loudspeakers and rearrange Afghanistan into a welfare-based society where at least there are no homeless, basic food is free, clean water is free, electricity is free, telecom and internet is free, healthcare is free and education is free. Let them start with this. Afghans now have difficulty in finding money to buy food and are having to feed anxiety tablets to even their one-year-olds to put them to sleep and forget hunger. Others after selling kidneys and pledging daughters for money are able to obtain some things including bread ( naan ) which in the morning they dip in water to soften it and at night eat it dry.

2. Indonesia government and Qatar government are essentially working with the Taliban via saying that they support "Afghanistan's private sector".

3. Since this thread is about OIC why doesn't it simply declare Taliban as murtad and launch a big military operation to eradicate it and enable progressives like the Solidarity Party of Afghanistan to form governance, or will OIC remain "Oh I See" ?

That’s how they work. They turn something good for you into something rotten so you want to get rid of it yourself. That’s the plan to get you to do it yourself. Although it’s very hard to fix something rotten

There are three Muslim countries in South East Asia, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Brunei

India should be part of OIC organization because 3rd Largest Number of Muslims live in India.

India should be part of OIC organization because 3rd Largest Number of Muslims live in India.

India is not a Muslim country.

Nice to see Central Asian countries are all free

 

[Raj-Hindustani]

India is not a Muslim country.

Then why Guyana and Suriname, are part of OIC ?

 

[Muhammad Saftain Anjum]

Yes If I were Arabs I would invest trillions into other Muslim nations. Not only will it help Muslims but it will also give Arabs a lot more influence and power as well. But instead they waste most of their money which could have uplifted many Muslim nations like Niger, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sudan etc.

The truth is these nations don't want to uplift themselves

The time they will want to make a stand in the world,they will not need arabs for their help
