Islamic group backs new Iraqi government

From CNN

The BBC has this story as well but they buried it about three pages deep. Heaven forbid they report any Muslim support for the new Iraqi government.

ISTANBUL, Turkey (AP) -- The world's largest Islamic group threw its support behind Iraq's interim government, saying it will "actively assist" the administration as it takes power -- a change for Muslim nations who shunned an earlier U.S.-backed council.

The 57 countries of the Organization of the Islamic Conference gave no details late Wednesday, but their statement of support helps boost the legitimacy of the new Iraqi administration as it struggles to establish control and battle insurgents.
