THE ORGANIZATION OF THE ISLAMIC CONFERENCE (OIC) HAS SLAMMED THE ATTEMPT OF SOME EXTREMIST JEWISH GROUPS TO BUILD A JEWISH SYNAGOGUE ON AN ISLAMIC ENDOWMENT LAND ALONGSIDE AL-AQSA MOSQUE. THE STATEMENT ISSUED BY OIC SECRETARY GENERAL PROFESSOR EKMELEDDIN IHSANOGLU SAID THIS DEVELOPMENT CONSTITUTES A FLAGRANT AGGRESSION AGAINST THE ISLAMIC SANCTUARIES. 'ISRAEL'S CONTINUOUS AGGRESSIONS WILL BE ENTAILED BY SERIOUS REPERCUSSIONS AND WILL INFLAME FEELINGS AND ENHANCE TENSIONS IN THE REGION', HE SAID. IHSANOGLU URGED THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY TO SHOULDER ITS RESPONSIBILITY AND PUT PRESSURE ON ISRAEL UNTIL IT COMPLIES WITH THE INTERNATIONAL LAWS WHICH REJECT DESECRATION OF THE RELIGIOUS AND HISTORICAL PLACES AND CHANGING THEIR DEMOGRAPHIC CHARACTERISTICS.
