Decide what the argument is when it comes to western countries. If you hail GDP and GNP as being the measurement of wealth, then do not spit on these muslem nations unless you have compared apples to apples. And by the way, is this organization reflecting every dollar leaving the governments of Islam or just donations to this organization?

The OIC (Organisation of the Islamic Conference) has pledged $118 million dollars for Tsunami relief.
Great. Good for them....
Oh, wait. There are 57 members.
That is just over $2million a country.
Several individuals and corporations have done more.

Actually Muslims do donate, but unlike "Civilized" western countries Muslim and Muslim nations dont do a song and dance about it....
Its just done, no press conferences, no media frenzies, and yes no self congratulations....
America is the worst at glamourizing what they pledge and hidding what they actually did.......
Muslims need a better PR system and a better advertsing campaign....
Judeo-Christianity has it set:
They behead 6 yr old school children in school or play grounds and call it "liberation and they beileve it and so do others.....
Iraqis, Palestinians fight occupiers, and they call it terrorism.....
Its all in the PR.........
