#1 A bit of history: Among the earliest and longest lived Muslim organization is the World Muslim Congress (Motamar Al-Alam Al-Islami) founded in Makka in 1926. Often called the World Islamic Congress, its first meeting was chaired by King Ibn Saud. Perhaps its most historically significant meeting was convened in Jerusalem in December 1931 with 130 delegates from 22 countries in attendance, during which Haj Amin al-Huseini declared that Zionism was an "agression" and calling for an economic boycott of the Jewish community in Palestine. The Congress was to be held every two or three years and it will later proclaim that after WWII it would "actively shape the agenda of the Muslim world." In fact, it also evolved into a meeting place for Muslim Brothers. The Congress met infrequently, with one general congress held in Cairo in 1937. (The Thrid Conference was held in Karachi in February 1951, with the Mufti presiding, where in effect he declared war with India over the status of Kashmir. The Fifth World Islamic Congress was held in 1962.) Until his death in 1974 the spiritual leader of the WMC was Haj Amin al-Husseini, The Grand Mufti of Jerusalem.
