Razak calls for Muslim unity

by Jeff Gimm

On the 40th anniversary of the Organization of Islamic Confrence(OIC), Malaysian PM Najib Razak has renewed his call for Muslim nations across the globe to act as a community. His speech specifically talked about using the combined resources of the more advanced Islamic nations to economically help the others in expanding their economies and reducing the level of poverty in those nations. Another overarching theme was the need to readjust to a post 9/11 world. Najib also reiterated Malaysia's support for the Palestinian people and their struggle.
This speech is not unexpected from PM Najib, as his government constantly bills itself as the future of Islam: economically successful and traditionally religious.
