The resolution stipulates: "Whereas Egypt plays a significant role in the Middle East peace process and in the fight against international terrorism and fundamentalism... Whereas the Copts, Egypt's largest religious minority... suffer from many forms of discrimination... Whereas the Ibn Khaldun Centre for Development Studies and its founder [Ibrahim] have been threatened for their work to promote democratic reforms," the House of Representatives would make the bilateral relation between Egypt and the US "a platform for promoting the rule of law and fundamental freedoms" and "calls on the Egyptian government to end all forms of harassment, including judicial measures... of media professionals and, more generally, human rights defenders and activists" and "encourages the Egyptian government... to fully implement and protect the rights of minorities."
Islam is a religion of peace and tolerance. Through promotion of free debate on our website, New Age Islam encourages people to rethink Islam.
