Russia is an Observer nation of the OIC, as well as several others including Thailand. The UN is also an Observer intergovernmental organization of the OIC, as well as several others.
China has spoken out in in favor of and in alignment with the OIC's position on a Palestinian State.
H.E. Dr. Mahmood Ahmadi Nejad, President of the Islamic Republic of Iran (Iran being the two-horned lamb), was unanimously elected as the Chairman of the 10th Summit of the Economic Cooperation Organisation, an arm of the OIC. Remember he also went to hajj last year in an attempt to unite the two main branches of Islam, Sunni and Shia.

Starting back in November 2009, hidden from the media over several weeks, the U.S. Treasury has been liquidating billions of U.S. dollars and trading it for a special currency you may have NEVER heard of - the same currency that China, Russia, oil-bearing Gulf countries, the UN, the IMF (International Monetary Fund), the World Bank, and many others have already suggested to replace the greenback as the world's main reserve currency.
This currency is called the Special Drawing Rights (SDR).
The SDR is an international reserve asset, created by the IMF in 1969 to supplement its member countries' official reserves. Its value is based on a basket of four key international currencies (currently the U.S. dollar, Euro, Japanese Yen, and the British pound), and SDRs can be exchanged for freely usable currencies.
General SDR allocation took effect on August 28, 2009 and a special allocation took place on September 9, 2009, which increased the amount of SDRs from SDR 21.4 billion to SDR 204.1 billion (currently equivalent to about $317 billion). And guess who took a large chunk of that?
Current SDR holdings in the U.S. Treasury now account for nearly 30% of the U.S. total foreign currency reserves. But this will not stop the eventual fall of Mystery Babylon since other currencies (like that of the Gulf's Monetary Union or the OIC's), which will be much better backed, with real value, will over throw the top three GDP economies of the world.
The above economic data was found on Equedia.com

The reasons why Partial Peterists, Full Preterists, Historicists and some Futurists have their eschatology wrong, including variations by Irvin Baxter, Mike Blume, et al., are multiple. But, the most significant error is when they (some, if not all) misinterpret and misuse Matthew 23:30-39. Some incorrectly use Matthew 23 to implicate Jerusalem as Mystery Babylon.
The real problem here is their inability to see that the Matthew 23 passage does not match the Revelation 18:24 passage. It is true that Yahushua (Matthew 23) indicated that the "righteous blood" would come upon the Israeli generation that Yahushua was "born in" and "living among" (and rightly so if one reads Yahushua's argument and reviews history) but that "blood" (Matthew 23) is different than the "blood" (Revelation 18) that is found in "her" (Mystery Babylon--The Great Whore). The Matthew 23 "blood" is an imposed (established) guilt (erchomai epi-Greek transliteration) whereas the Revelation 18 "blood" is an actual "discovery of" (heurisko-Greek transliteration), i.e., a discovered guilt. Also, the Revelation 18 passage is a much broader "blood". It includes the blood of the "prophets", the blood of the "saints" ("righteous blood") and the blood of "all that were slain upon the earth", which incorporates both "righteous blood" and "unrighteous blood", with the latter being much larger than the former. This is just one of many misuses and misinterpretations of scriptures.
A second serious mistake made by many eschatologists is their faulty assumption that Antiochus Epiphanes is the one noted in Daniel 11:30-31. There are too many reasons to list all them here as to why this view is erroneous, but the most important reason is that Jewish sacrifices resumed on the temple mound following the Antiochus' act. His abominable act was only one of many of a long history of abominable acts, and it certainly did NOT end sacrifices until the consummation and that determined was fulfilled. There is only one constructed (set up) abomination that has prevented Jewish sacrifices that has lasted over 1290 days (years) and remains until this day (nearing 1335 days/years) and that is the Dome of the Rock, held in trust and controlled by the wakf and backed by UN resolution. Furthermore, if Antiochus was the marker, then Daniel would have risen to "stand" in his "lot" at the "end of the days" (Daniel 12:11-13), but that has not happened making the Antiochus marker an invalid view. For more information and details turn to DOC Volume Seven.
More examples will be added shortly.

As predicted in Disciples of Christ Volume Seven, Iran (via President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad) has already called for a joint OIC member currency and just a few weeks ago the Gulf Monetary Union publicly announced their planned 2010 currency back in mid-December 2009 (see below). This is just a precursor to other predictions made in the DOC Volume Seven. At this point it is difficult to say how long it will take for the OIC to actually approve and implement a joint OIC member currency, but it seems it is likely and that it is just a matter of time. This development should be watched closely.
The OIC (Organization of the Islamic Conference) started in 1969 and already has 57 member states representing over 1.2 billion people. They are already the second largest inter-governmental organization in the world, next to United Nations (UN). The OIC desires to portray themsleves as a peace-loving inter-governmental organization and will, in fact, fool many, even the Jews for awhile, when the Beast makes a covenant with "many" (Daniel 9:27) that directly or indirectly allows the Jews to return to worship on the temple mound for about 3.5 years. But this will just be a ploy to convince the "many" that the Beast is peace-loving and a method to gather as many Jews as possible back to Jerusalem.

As predicted in the Disciples of Christ Volume Seven, (DOC Vol Seven) a new currency is being launched by the Gulf Monetary Union (comprised of Arab States of the Gulf Region--Muslim countries). This is just the beginning, a precursor to what is yet to happen, as outlined in DOC Vol Seven. The article below was printed in the JoelsTrumpet.com website but this information can also be found elsewhere in many other news feeds, searchable on the internet.
The Arab states of the Gulf region have agreed to launch a single currency modelled on the euro, hoping to blaze a trail towards a pan-Arab monetary union swelling to the ancient borders of the Ummayad Caliphate. “The Gulf monetary union pact has come into effect,” said Kuwait’s finance minister, Mustafa al-Shamali, speaking at a Gulf Co-operation Council (GCC) summit in Kuwait.
The move will give the hyper-rich club of oil exporters a petro-currency of their own, greatly increasing their influence in the global exchange and capital markets and potentially displacing the US dollar as the pricing currency for oil contracts. Between them they amount to regional superpower with a GDP of $1.2 trillion (£739bn), some 40pc of the world’s proven oil reserves, and financial clout equal to that of China.
Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, and Qatar are to launch the first phase next year, creating a Gulf Monetary Council that will evolve quickly into a full-fledged central bank.
The Emirates are staying out for now – irked that the bank will be located in Riyadh at the insistence of Saudi King Abdullah rather than in Abu Dhabi. They are expected join later, along with Oman.
The Gulf states remain divided over the wisdom of anchoring their economies to the US dollar. The Gulf currency – dubbed “Gulfo” – is likely to track a global exchange basket and may ultimately float as a regional reserve currency in its own right. “The US dollar has failed. We need to delink,” said Nahed Taher, chief executive of Bahrain’s Gulf One Investment Bank. The project is inspired by Europe’s monetary union, seen as a huge success in the Arab world. But there are concerns that the region is trying to run before it can walk.
Europe took 40 years to reach the point where it felt ready to launch a currency. It began with the creation of the Iron & Steel Community in the 1950s, moving by steps towards a single market enforced by powerful Commission and European Court. The EMU timetable was fixed at the Masstricht in 1991 but it took another 11 for euro notes and coins to reach the streets.
Khalid Bin Ahmad Al Kalifa, Bahrain’s foreign minister, told the FIKR Arab Thought summit in Kuwait that the project would not work unless the Gulf countries first break down basic barriers to trade and capital flows. At the moment, trucks sit paralysed at border posts for days awaiting entry clearance. Labour mobility between states is almost zero.
“The single currency should come last. We need to coordinate our economic policies and build up common infrastructure as a first step,” he said. Mohammed El-Enein, chair of the energy and industry committee in Egypt’s parliament, said Europe’s example could help the Arab world achieve its half-century dream of a unified currency, but the task requires discipline. “We need exactly the same institutions as the EU has created. We need a commission, a court, and a bank,” he said. The last currency to trade in souks from Marakesh, to Baghdad and Mecca, was the Ottomon Piaster, known as the “kurush”. It suffered chronic inflation as the silver coinage was debased.
There is a logic to an Arab currency. The region speaks one language, has the unifying creed of “Umma Wahida” or One Nation from the Koran, and has not torn itself apart in savage wars – ever – in quite the way that Europe has in living memory.
Yet hurdles are formidable even for the tight-knit group of Gulf states. While the eurozone is a club of rough equals – with Germany, France, Italy, and Spain each holding two votes on the ECB council – the Gulf currency will be dominated by Saudi Arabia. The risk is that other countries will feel like satellites. Monetary policy will inevitably be set for Riyadh’s needs.
Hans Redeker, currency chief at BNP Paraibas, said the Gulf states may have romanticised Europe’s achievement and need to move with great care to avoid making the same errors.
“The Greek crisis has exposed the weak foundations on which the euro is built. The gap in competitiveness between core Europe and the periphery has grown wider and wider. The obvious mistake was to launch EMU without a central fiscal authority and political union, as the Bundesbank warned in the 1990s,” he said.
“The euro was created for political reasons after the fall of the Berlin Wall to lock Germany irrevocably into Europe. It was not done for economic reasons,” he said.
Ben Simpfendorfer, Asia economist for RBS and an expert on the Middle East, told the FIKR conference that the rise of China had paradoxically disrupted the case for pan-Arab economic integration.
There was a natural fit ten years ago between rich oil state and low-wage manufacturers in Egypt and Syria, but cheap exports from China have forced poorer Arab states to retreat behind barriers to shelter their industries. “The rationale for a single currency has become weaker,” he said.
The GCC also agreed to create a joint military strike force – akin to the EU’s rapid reaction force – to tackle threats such as the incursion of Yemeni Shiite rebels into Saudi territory earlier this year. This is a major breakthrough after years of deadlock on defence cooperation. The Sunni Gulf states are deeply concerned about the great power ambitions of Shiite Iran and its quest for nuclear weapons, to the point where the theme of a possible war between Iran and a Saudi-led constellation of states has crept into the media debate. They nevertheless repeated on Tuesday that “any military action against Iran” by Western powers would be unacceptable.
