correct Answer ( C )
The arson attack on the Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem in August 1969 served as the catalyst for the formation of the organization of islamic cooperation (OIC), highlighting the vulnerability of Islamic holy sites and the need for a unified voice and collective action among Muslim nations .
