#1 I think they mean:

President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of Iran called Monday evening for establishment of an Islamic economic grouping by Muslim states to circumvent Western sanctions as Iran's economy spirals into the abyss of despair.

There, all fixed.

#2 Another OPEC? All they have to trade between themselves are oil, dates, and walnuts as far as I can tell. Oh yeah, don't forget flying carpets and camels.

In any case, it will be a good vehicle for Ahmanutjob to inflict his peculiar brand of economic wisdom upon the rest of the Islamic countries. I say go for it! Whoever joins up is probably part of the problem and they'll get what they deserve. And the US will have to start drilling for oil again instead of feeding terrorist states the cash they need to spread terrorism.
