Dear Dr. Pipes:

Thank you as usual for your most informative #845 Weblog entries. I have tried searching for the answer to the following question with regard to the just completed summit of the OIC in Dakar Senegal.

In light of Kosovo's recent independence, and recognition by the U.S., and many -- though not all -- EU states, and in recognition that Kosovo's population is 90% Muslim, was Kosovo admitted to the OIC as its 58th member? This information would be most helpful as I linked Kosovo and the precent it set to the Middle East (as well as beyond) region on our radio show. The official OIC website, did not have that information as of mid-last week.

Thanking you in advance for your reply, I look forward to your response.

Sincerely,

Dr. Steve Carol
