"The favourable outcome of the vote concerning the resolution on the situation in Egypt and Syria, with particular regard for Christian communities, is confirmation of the fact that Europe continues to look after ethnic and religious minorities. Unfortunately, the situation has now become even more worrying due to a trail of blood and death, in Egypt above all, but also elsewhere in the world, which the European institutions cannot ignore. Parliament is alive to this and intends to take action to ensure that such episodes are not repeated. There is no use in denying that tension exists between Muslims and Christians, but stopping there would only afford a partial view of the situation. History teaches us that religions can coexist, as long as the climate is right. The current difficulties are worsened by hidden troublemakers, who fan the flames to deepen the conflict and impede the transition to democracy. We need to clarify the role of the armed forces in this phase, as they have all too frequently turned into the agents of repression, rather than guarantors of transition. We appeal to the representatives of all religions, philosophies and schools of thought to contribute to civil and peaceful coexistence. Europe – the home of fundamental rights and freedoms – will do its part to ensure that these principles are respected."@en1
