All of us, every single man, woman, and child on the face of the Earth were born with the same unalienable rights; to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. And, if the governments of the world can't get that through their thick skulls, then, regime change will be necessary.

Clip From Upcoming Documentary, "Islam And the Future of Tolerance": Sam Harris Asks Majid Nawaz "A Particularly Offensive Question"
It's actually a particularly good question. And we never get an answer.
Beginning in 1983 the OIC, Organization of Islamic Cooperation,is asking for its own UNESCO that is called ISESCO — which has its headquarters in Rabat, in Morocco — in order to elaborate a strategy of comforting Muslim communities living in the West, and which, in fact, when you read its text, is a conquest document. The name of this document is Strategy of Islamic Cultural Action Outside of the Islamic World. It’s an official document. It’s for Muslims established in the West. So the Muslim countries in the world, the 57 Muslim states,adopted a document, which is a document that aims, first: to comfort Islamic Westerners, and second: to establish a communitarism [Muslim diaspora] in a definitive way in Europe — since the West is in fact mostly Europe — and third: (to be continued)
(continued) [to introduce] a logic of separation [from the infidels] and domination by the shariah. In this document, which is a strategy, a very concrete action plan, there are two expressions that hit me. The first one is the will to install, I quote: “a substitute civilization,” end quote. —And it’s written like this? This is how it’s written in this strategic document: “substitute civilization”, in the document, which aims to substitute Islam for Western Civilization and for our Western way of life. And then — since I brought this document with me, I don’t want to make a mistake — I’m reading: page 105 of the document is about, I quote: “to prepare tools which would serve to build a pure and healthy Islamic society in harmony with its nature and in conformity with natural human instinct, on the one hand;on the foundations of the European democracy, on the other hand.” So the intention is very clear. It’s not only about inspiring Muslim communities [by Islam and its culture] and encouraging them to keep drawing from their faith and their culture — which would be perfectly legitimate —it aims to establish an Islamic society in the West. (end transcript) (continued)
Here is how Oxford Islamic Studies Online describes ISESCO:
“Institution within the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC) designed to strengthen cooperation among member states in educational, scientific, and cultural research, make Islamic culture the focal point of educational curricula at all levels, support Islamic culture, and protect the independence of Islamic thought against cultural invasion, distortion, and debasement. Based in Rabat, Morocco. Cooperates with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) in refugee assistance within the Muslim world.”
Note particularly how Islamic thought is to be protected against “cultural invasion.” This should mean that the same sentiment would be supported for Western thought. What? Am I wrong? You mean that ISESCO and OIC (the parent organization) don’t believe in multiculturalism?
Also, note the assistance for refugees “within the Muslim world.” With the wealth of the OIC as backing, this should mean that all Syrian refugees were well provided for and that little burden for this fell on the West. What? Wrong again?
And, finally note how the refugee assistance is to be “within the Muslim world.” Compare and contrast this to refugee assistance offered by Christian and Jewish organizations worldwide.
Take a look at the websites for the highly organized and well-funded OIC and ISESCO and ponder a minute what it all means for us here in the West.
One wonders what/where the 'rest of the story' is. It appears these fragments of historic documentary details only reluctantly surface as the decades unfold.

On November 20, 1979, worldwide attention was focused on Tehran, where the Iranian hostage crisis was entering its third week. That same morning, gunmen stunned the world by seizing the Grand Mosque in Mecca, creating a siege that trapped 100,000 people and lasted two weeks, inflaming Muslim rage against the United States and causing hundreds of deaths.

I remember the invasion of Afghanistan. I remember the Iranian Revolution. Why do you suppose it would be that I, as an ordinary American, don't have very much memory - any memory, really, at all - of this dramatic seizure of 100,000 hostages at a pilgrimage site that affects Muslims around the world?
Mr. TROFIMOV: Well, first of all, this was the age before Al-Jazeera, before cable television, before satellite films, and non-Muslims are forbidden from even visiting the holy cities of Mecca and Medina. So the outside world didn't really know what was going on for well over a day after this started.
Saudi Arabia instantly cut international phone communications, closed the borders. And the first news of something going wrong in Mecca came out in a press statement at the State Department in Washington, infuriating the Saudis who had hoped that the blackout of this news would last long enough for them to take control of the mosque again.
Now, at the time, nobody knew about the existence of this Sunni jihadi fundamentalist ideology that later evolved into what is known today as al-Qaida. In fact, the assumption in Washington at the time was that the Shiites, the Iranian Shiites, had taken over the mosque and is also part of the Iranian revolutionary expansion to the rest of the Muslim world.
The State Department pointed the finger at Ayatollah Khomeini. What happened, of course, is that Ayatollah Khomeini, within hours, went on the radio saying, no, it's the Americans and the Jews, the hated Zionists who have taken over the holiest of holies of Islam. And he was believed by millions of Muslims across the Middle East.
In Pakistan, within hours, a vast crowd assembled in front of the U.S. embassy in Islamabad, stormed it, burned it down, killing a number of Americans and Pakistani personnel at the embassy. Demonstrations were held throughout the Muslim world, many of them violent. ***** (continued)

GatesofVienna: The OIC's Long-Term Plan for the Conquest of Europe

In this document, which is a strategy, a very concrete action plan, there are two expressions that hit me. The first one is the will to install, I quote:
“a substitute civilization,” end quote. —And it’s written like this?
This is how it’s written in this strategic document: “substitute civilization”, in the document, which aims to substitute Islam for Western Civilization and for our Western way of life.
And then — since I brought this document with me, I don’t want to make a mistake — I’m reading:
page 105 of the document is about, I quote:
“to prepare tools which would serve to build a pure and healthy Islamic society in harmony with its nature and in conformity with natural human instinct, on the one hand;on the foundations of the European democracy, on the other hand.” So the intention is very clear.

via subsequent Q & A w/Trofimov:
Why has this story never been fully told?
