The summit of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), held Friday night in Mecca, hailed the sustained efforts made by King Mohammed VI, chairman of the Al Quds Committee, for the defense of the Holy shrines of Islam in Al Quds Acharif. This came in the final communiqué issued by the 14th OIC summit, where King Mohammed VI was represented by his younger brother Prince Moulay Rachid. The Islamic leaders and representatives of the OIC member countries praised the sustained efforts of King Mohammed VI to counteract the measures taken by the Israeli occupation to Judaize the holy city. The declaration rejected any attempts to link terrorism to any nationality, civilization or religion. The Member States reiterated their firm condemnation of all forms of intolerance and discrimination based on religion, color or faith, and decried sectarianism, and confessional fanaticism in all their forms and manifestations.
