TEHRAN The Muslim world is facing a serious challenge and must invest all possible energy to defuse the plot of the new U.S. administration to shift its embassy from Tel Aviv to Bait-ul-Moqaddas, analysts believe.

The administration of President George Bush revealed its pro-Zionist nature when Secretary of State Colin Powell announced the plan while he was addressing the Foreign Relations Committee of House of Representatives.

Powell said yesterday that Bush is committed to moving the U.S. Embassy to Bait-ul-Moqaddas.

"Powell knows very well that moving the embassy to Bait-ul-Moqaddas is a thorny issue and that the Muslim ummmah will never accept such a move," one analyst believes.

"Powell is fanning the flames of the Intifada and no one on the earth can stop the movement against the oppressors and occupiers of the lands of the Palestinians," he underlined.

"Those who were depending on the mediatory role, now must realize that Washington will never be an honest broker," he insisted, and pointed out that the U.S. in no way can ignore the interests of the Zionists.

"An emergency meeting of the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC) should be convened to adopt a comprehensive policy in order to teach a lesson not only to the U.S., but to other countries who have plotted against the Muslims," he said.
