"While we have moved many steps forward, it would be to our detriment to ignore our failures. We could have done more if we are more united. We could have a stronger voice in world affairs if we are more cohesive. We would have been more credible if we are more efficient, and truly committed to our cause. Muslims would have been held in higher esteem and respect if our economics are stronger and our governments are more effective and stable"
"We must admit that the Muslim
ummah and Muslim countries are still under threat and are very weak. We do much damage to ourselves by our lack of cooperation and our frequently violent and debilitating struggles for power in our own countries. As a result, whenever our brothers are in need of help, not only are we unable to extend meaningful help, but we are even unable to influence those agencies whose decisions and actions will affect the fate of our brothers"
(The 7th Islamic Summit Conference, Casablanca, Morocco
13 December 1994)
