Basically, in the 1990s the Turkish PM Necmettin Erbakan wanted to create an "Islamic Alliance" to (among other things) "fight Zionism".

He also suggested in 1996 reintroducing the gold dinar as an "Islamic currency" - http://www.islamicmint.com/historic.html

What if his plans were successful? What if Bangladesh, Egypt, Indonesia, Iran, Malaysia, Nigeria, Pakistan and Turkey became members of a military and economic alliance (at least as close as the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation) with a common currency?
