lpv:translated text	"Madam President, I am pleased to see that the refusal of certain sections in this House to deal with the plight of Christians in the Middle East and beyond has after many years come to an end and that we are now taking a more systematic approach. The Christian minorities in the Middle East and North Africa are under particular threat even in those countries where, happily, democratisation is taking place. If Europe does not stand up for these minorities, then who will? As Europeans, we are the natural champions of these minorities. However, this commitment also applies to the majority groups in such societies. It has always been to the credit of Islam that Christians who have lived for centuries under its rule have not just survived, but actually played a leading role in society. Now, in the 21st century, these minorities are under threat of extinction. Democracy means rule by the majority, however, the acid test is how minorities are treated."@en1
