Foreign ministers and representatives from the 57-member Organization of the Islamic Conference are gathering in Malaysia for an international Muslim conference. 

The crisis in the Middle East and the U.S.-led global war on terrorism is expected to dominate discussion at the three-day meeting, that begins Monday in Kuala Lumpur. 

Conference delegates say they want to talks about ways to establish a dialogue between Islamic countries and the West on the subject of terrorism. 

They say many Muslims believe their faith has been under attack since the September 11 terrorist attacks on the United States. 

The delegates at the Malaysia conference say they want to redefine terrorism in such a way, that would help establish a global system to identify terrorists and their sponsors.
