Council of Islamic Cooperation

CIC Parliament

INTRODUCTION:

The Council of Islamic Cooperation, or also known as CIC, is an international organization created with aim to safeguard and protect the interests of the World Muslim communities in the spirit of promoting international peace and harmony. The council is created as a result of a meeting between the Acehian and Mahdistani delegations about a further cooperation between the 2 nations in religious affairs. The CIC lacks central headquarters, but maintain branch offices in the capital of its member nations.
The Council consisted of various nations, not only Muslim-majority nations but also Muslim-minority nations that have interests in Muslim affairs of their countries, or to make further cooperation with the world muslim communities.

PROGRAMS:

The Council of Islamic Cooperation at first only facilitated cooperation between its member and observer nations regarding religious affairs, but with the change of time, its goals and missions are broaden to include cooperation in education, health, social, and cultural sectors between its member and observer nations. Further details on the programs of CIC are:
1. Education Sector:
CIC want to raise the awareness of its member nations of the importance of knowledge by providing aids to construct schools, libraries, and universities in nations around the world. CIC also help to supply books and the other materials needed, to support the education in its member nations.
2. Social Sector:
Through its waqf, zakat, and welfare aids, CIC helps to eradicate the poverty in poor nations, especially its member nations, and also hold several training programs for the unemployment so they can learn basic skills for work while at the same time help the host nation to create work field for its population.
3. Health Sector:
Inspired by the Islamic teachings regarding the importance of health, CIC wants to raise the awareness of the importance of health among its member nation's population, by providing aids to construct hospitals and clinics, support joint medical researches between the scientists and medical experts of its member nations, and hold medical training for medical staffs of its member nations in order to raise their skills and knowledge in health treatments.
4. Cultural Sector:
CIC provides aids to help its member nations to preserve its Islamic artifacts and cultural products, while at the same time helping promote Islamic cultures among the world Muslim communities as a bridge to promoting understanding among its member nations regarding each other differences.

My former nation of Islamic Republic of Aceh got CTE'd for a long time of inactivity, because I was busy with my school before, so its not a surprise for me to find that the nation was already in the Boneyard. I then decided to make a new nation account, this one: https://www.nationstates.net/nation=samudera_darussalam. I found out that this thread was died down before, so, after I consulted some members of the organization, I decided to bring this back to life. So, welcome to the reincarnation of the old thread!

I HEREBY JOIN MUSLIM BROTHERS AND SISTERS.

[North Caucasian Emirates]

Member Application

Full Nation Name: The Federation of North Caucasian Emirates
Head of State: Her Grand Highness Iryna Tchemerzine · Grand Emira of the North Caucasian Emirates · Emira of Adygea
Money pledged to the CIC annually: ₽70,000 (equivalent to NSD$14,000) which mainly comes from private donors of all religions throughout each of the Emirates.
Type of Membership desired: Observer status.
Location of branch office (Capital city is preferable): Maykop, Adyghe Emirate, North Caucasian Emirates. Needs more development and reasons to visit it.
Other request(s): Not really.
Do you permit the International Islamic Universities to operate in your country? Absolutely, but only in Adygea, Chechnya, Dagestan, Ingushetia, Kabardia, Ossetia, and Qarachay. You can set up the International Islamic Universities in Kalmykia, Krasnodar, and Stavropol, but the thing is, there aren't enough Muslims there—given that the first one is Buddhist-majority, and the latter two are Orthodox Christian-majority due to them having lots of Slavs, such as Russians and Ukrainians—so any universities set up would probably not get a lot of traffic, sadly.
Why does your nation want to join the CIC? We may be officially secular, but we have a lot of Muslims (mainly in the Muslim-majority Emirates) who get along very well with their neighbours, and their neighbours get along very well with them. Islam is a beautiful religion, and historic for our part of the world. We are led by a Grand Emira who—despite being a woman and following traditional Adyghe Habzism—was elected by majority vote in favour by an assembly consisting of nine other Emirs and Emiras, of which six of them are practising Muslims. She, HGH Iryna Tchemerzine, believes that all faiths (and philosophies such as humanism that indicate a lack thereof) are valid in understanding the human condition, and finding purpose in life and the world. She, and the people in general, also wish to show the world that Islam as a religion really is tolerant and forgiving, so as to hope that the hatred towards Islam and Muslims, as well as the radical Muslims who think their cherry-picking is gospel, will hopefully second-guess and look at what they have done, before both parties cause even more hardship and hurt in this world.

We are interested in the Education (as fewer and fewer young people are getting an education in practical and critical thinking skills, or feeling much purpose due to the neighbouring Soviet-influenced secularism being pressured into being made the state policy, just so that they would not annex us), Social (up in the Caucasus Mountain Ranges, people are very poor, and often have little or no access to running water, sanitation, electricity, internet, telecommunications, or even education; some still practice bartering in the most remote areas. and; there is a problem with unemployment among the youth due to not enough desirable jobs), Health (the cities are often filthy, filled with vermin and rubbish all over the place; remote and poor areas often have terrible health facilities, plus young doctors and nurses in hospitals often commit suicide from the stress of working long hours alongside their studies), and Cultural (we still have—in Derbent, Dagestani Emirate—a Sassanian fortress, as well as our Muslim-led and Muslim-majority Emirates being influenced culturally and politically by the Golden Age of Islam in their governances; we would like to preserve all of those as state secularism is really starting to seriously kick our collectives asses) sectors, and are considering joining. However, as only the southern and enclaved Adygea Emirates are Muslim, or even Muslim-majority, we are not sure whether we are allowed to formally join as more than Observer status.


OOC: This is literally the first roleplay thing I have done in, like, 4+ years. I hope that my memory still serves me right, and that I haven't messed this application up somehow, or stepped on anyone's toes.

Azadistan shall help educate future judges,police officers, army officers and soldiers of CIC affiliated states.
We shall Teach them (OOC:the schools shall be in the forums) .

[Azadistan-land of the free]

At an Azadistani science event we ejected(sent away) pseudoscientists from La Cosa Fedora
after they spread racist poison and failed to prove it.
They then said "YOU WILL BE EJECTED" and threatened to cause a revolution so following the Quranic principle "permission to fight is given to those who have been evicted from their homes because they have been wronged" we declared war.
these people prioritised defence spending and have higher mode average tax rates(a flat tax of over 70 percent).
since they may only plan to eject the Muslims we are not conscripting people of other faiths to fight in this war.
Brothers and sisters,please help us.

[A m e n r i a]

Get the ball rolling, mates. I'm sure these new members would like an RP. Any ideas?

[Samudera Darussalam]

I have been having that in mind to make this....alive, and I do have some ideas. But just pieces of them, not really well-pictured.

Maybe war/military intervention (though we aren't a military alliance, is that possible?) or something about environment conservation program/how to help slow the advance of full-global warming effect, or....something. Maybe we can involve the parliament thread somehow. We need to elect some position in this organization.

Do any of you have other ideas?

Do any of you have other ideas?

You could create a Discord server for the CIC and TG a link to everyone who got accepted (and who still exists on NS). And then we could discuss in greater depth, but for now, these are my ideas:

1. Lessons and lectures at CIC-sponsored schools and universities: teaching about Islamic values, and also Islam itself.
2. Educating Muslims and non-Muslims alike about tolerance of other religion, races, walks of life, and the like: human rights and social justice movements.
3. Educating Muslims and non-Muslims about what Islam really is about: compassion towards the poor and other disadvantaged such as widows and young people seemingly without a future; equality of all life under the eyes of Allah (swt); humane treatment of animals, particularly pets and food animals; being kind, friendly, and helpful towards one's neighbours, regardless of what they may believe; peace, consent, and open-mindedness; education of all people, and teaching them how to survive in whatever world they may be in; and all movements thereof, in that direction.
4. Environmentalism: protection of and sustainability towards the natural landscape and all living things that are not human, while also being cognizant of environmental damage done by introduced and/or invasive species of plants, animals, and diseases.
5. Aid to poorer areas and nations: not throwing money at problems to make them go away, but rather; sending doctors, construction workers, kits, food, seeds, natural fertilisers, livestock, teachers, and educating them about hygiene to prevent most preventable diseases, as well as reversing harmful superstitions (the killing of albinos comes to mind).
6. More detail on social justice: helping disadvantaged people get back on their feet, by helping them solve the problems that got them homeless or jobless, providing long-term accommodation, medical treatment such as therapy or detoxification from drugs and alcohol, help in finding and keeping a permanent job, providing food and teaching them how to find or grow their own food when able to, and also teaching them about pathfinding around and being streetwise within the areas they live and work.

That's all I can think of on the spot, but they would be pretty fun to implement as part of a roleplay, even if the roleplay involves discussing such things in our own nations.
