The Turkish newspaper close to Turkey’s President Erdogan and his ruling party, is urging 57 Islamic nations to build a joint army specifically to attack Israel.

The Middle East Media Research Institute reports the article appeared on the paper’s website under the title “What If an Army of Islam Was Formed against Israel?” It was published shortly ahead of a summit of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, which has 57 members.

The article noted, “that such a joint army will greatly exceed the Israeli army in manpower, equipment and budget, and presents statistics to prove this.” “It also advocated establishing joint bases for the army’s ground, air and naval forces that would arrive from all over the Muslim world to besiege Israel.

Its reported  it said that if the OIC member states “unite and form a joint military force, it will be the largest army in the world; These countries’ total population is 1,674,526,931. The number of soldiers in active service in these countries is at least 5,206,100.”

And the article stated: “It becomes evident that the member states’ [joint] military might greatly exceeds that of Israel. Moreover, in a possible military operation, this superiority [can] be realized on the ground by [setting up] joint military bases for ground, air and naval forces.”

The newspaper also called Israel “significantly inferior” and says that “this country, which attempted to occupy Jerusalem while surrounded by Muslim states” has a population of only about 8 million, while Istanbul alone exceeds 14 million.

The article was basically calling for the 57 member states of the OIC to form a joint “Army of Islam” to besiege and attack the state of Israel, saying that such a joint army will greatly exceed the Israeli army in manpower, equipment and budget.
