OIC conclusion

While here in Europe we are wondering about future wars in the M.E., whether we should participate or not and which sort of impact this will have on our economic problems, the emergency meeting of Islamic countries carried on in Jeddah, and it ended with interesting outcomes .
In their final communique' they stressed on the importance of the Palestinian issue, the commitment toward Muslims in Myanmar and the concern for the situation in Mali .
Of course Syria was central to the conference and the attention of the media was appointed on the suspension of its membership .
In my humble opinion the real development, was the strong condemnation of terrorism, which in this particular moment is extremely important, and the call that H.M. King Abdullah made, for the creation of a center having the role to sort out differences among Muslim sects .
Examining this under a practical point of view, Muslim leaders, and the Saudi in particular, realized that giving green light to Israel for a strike on Iran, would somehow prevent them from being in charge of the Syrian situation .
And that, at a later stage, would reduce the power of control they currently have in the M.E.
So sitting close to Ahmadinejad, was not only a move to reassure Muslims on the issue of unity .
Rather they must have reached some sort of agreement, which for now will keep Iran on the safe side, if Americans can convince Israel, and will push them to help not only to end the Syrian matter, but also to make things more stable on other fronts like Yemen for example, where they are very active .
Again this proves that Bandar bin Sultan was appointed exactly for this change of direction, towards diplomatic ways, other than using his strong hand .

Message in a bottle

Syrian officials were not invited to the meeting. This led the Iranian envoys to raise objections. “The Syrians are still part of the OIC, and they therefore should have been invited to the preparatory meeting,” one of the diplomats quoted the Iranians as saying. However, there were few backers of this Iranian view.
OIC to expel murderous Syrian regime

It was a sort of message for Iran, rather than a punishment for Syria :
we make the rules . Either you are with us or against us .
The Syrian issue will be solved in few weeks or months, paying a high price, namely the growth of al Qaeda .
Iran is next .
They were invited as I said earlier, to show a gesture of good will, but letting them understand the conditions .

In my humble opinion Saudi Arabia made a technical mistake, which is, to trust the Americans and themselves, believing that after most of the M.E. is fixed and reshaped, everything will be like before, and Gulf countries will be left managing things alone .
Wrong .
One who understood this, is Vladimir Putin, who is very well aware of the fact that he is on the list .
Later there will be a big battle between Qatar and Saudi Arabia, and things might turn wild for al Saud .
