Organization of Islamic Cooperation Ramps Up 'Islamophobia' Campaign
AINA (press release) 1 March 2013
By Deborah Weiss
The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) has long been on the forefront of the Islamist mission to establish the equivalent of Islamic blasphemy laws in the West.

As the second largest international organization in the world, behind only the UN, and as the largest Islamic organization in the world, it is obviously quite powerful. Though it is arguably the largest voting block in the UN, most people have never heard of it.
