". − I voted in favour of this resolution. The growing violence towards Christians in North Africa and the Middle East is an extremely worrying trend. The EU must strengthen its call for religious tolerance and equal opportunities. I remind the EU that the European Parliament has called for mainstreaming the freedom of religion in EU human rights policy. The revolution in Egypt has brought down a dictator, but has not ended the violence. Recent extreme violence against the Coptic Christians cannot be tolerated by the international community. The EU should strongly demand the removal of references to religion in all official documents, guaranteed equal access to all public and political posts, access to unconditional, free medical treatment for the wounded and the release of the 28 Christians held in custody in Maspero. Action is needed now, especially in view of the fact that Egyptian public media have called for violence and the possible threat of radical Islamisation until and during the upcoming elections, as indicated by statements of high officials such as Major General Rouini, who has claimed that the entire army and population of Egypt is Salafist."@en1
