Islamic leaders voice anger at Islamophobia in West

DAKAR-[[[[[[[[[[The leaders of the world's Muslim states on Thursday criticized a rising wave of "Islamophobia" in the West and {{pledged to combat Islamic extremism, which they said was (partly)....sigh.... to blame.}}]]]]]]]]]]Heads of state of the Organisation of the Islamic Conference (OIC) met in Senegal for talks on making the 57-nation body more effective in combating poverty in Muslim states in Africa and Asia. But the talks were overshadowed by hostilities between two members, Chad and Sudan.In an embarrassment for Senegalese President Abdoulaye Wade, who billed the summit as a chance for a definitive peace deal between the two neighbors, Chad accused Sudan of launching a rebel attack on its territory. Sudan called this "nonsense".Chadian President Idriss Deby was due to meet his Sudanese counterpart Omar Hassan al-Bashir on Thursday, but any lasting reconciliation seemed unlikely after Bashir failed to attend talks the previous evening.
Efforts to revamp the OIC's unwieldy 40-article charter also ran into problems after foreign ministers broke off their discussions without agreement on Wednesday, despite having extended their two days of talks by an extra day.But delegates were unanimous in voicing fury at Israeli military strikes against Palestinian territories, and at the negative portrayal of Islam and discrimination against Muslims in the West."In our relations with the Western world, we are going through difficult times," said OIC Secretary-General Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu, calling for Israelis to be tried for war crimes.[[[["Ignorance about Islam and calculated animosity with deep historic roots on the part of a minority in the West, as well as our failure to defend the true values of Islam, are the reason for the increasing wave of Islamophobia."]]]]

PS:IF islamic countries would be more vocal against extremism and radical fascism...MAY BE the West as they call it....would look at them in a different way....But UNTIL there is condemnation and dennouncing of killings suicide bombers killings,etc,etc as CRIMINAL TERRORISM BY ISLAMIC LEADERS...and when CELEBRATING AFTER KILLINGS OR SHOOTINGS STOP in THE MIDDLE EAST.....UNTIL THEN....I dont think the "west" as they call it will consider them as seriously wanting to engage in PEACE....
WHile they remain SILENT...the West understand that as a CONDONNING of killings and massacres even to their OWN PEOPLE....
SO till they boldly decide to have the guts to expose radical islam for what it is....I think the West will remain reticent....
As in the days of Noah....
