It is not uncommon for a sense of religious solidarity to cloud one's
conscience and judgement.
The 1971 genocide in Bangladesh is a good example. Bangladesh is a
Muslim majority country. But Pakistan let lose the propaganda that:
* Bengalis were not good Muslims
* Hindus from India were behind Bangladesh's demand for democratic
rights
Pakistan was so successful with this ploy that most OIC countries
chose to support Pakistan or at least remain silent through that
terrifying genocidal spree by the Pakistan military.
OIC meetings never let lose an opportunity to pass resolutions
regarding Kashmir, Chechniya, Bosnia, Mindanao etc. because they are
seen as resolutions against non-Muslims. But OIC meetings never pass
any resolutions against Saddam Hussein's genocide upon Shias or Kurds,
or of Khartoum's genocide against its non-Arabic Southerners or
against the rutless attempt of Turkey to wipe out the language and
culture of Kurds. In other words, killing of Muslims by Muslims is
condoned for the sake of religious solidarity. Outrage is reserved
only for alleged misdeeds of non-Muslims against Muslims.
It took a while to sink in that while Al Qaeda/Taliban may have
embarked their war crimes in the name of Islam but ultimately they
were enemies of humanity irrespective of creed. Very soon Al Qaeda/
Taliban would be murdering Christians, Shias, Ahmadiyyas, Sunnis and
of course, women of all creeds.
