lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Mr Søvndal, ladies and gentlemen, it may well be that there are some specific examples of terrorism and violence in Nigeria. It has also long been known that Sharia is present in 12 states. For years, thousands of people have been dying in Nigeria. We are all aware of that, and for years nothing has been done about it. Overall, however, it is clear – and in this regard I would like to follow on from what Mr Provera was saying – that in many Muslim countries, which are allegedly experiencing a new Spring, there is substantial persecution of Christians. Whether it is in Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Pakistan, Syria or Sudan, it is striking that more and more Christians are coming under pressure there, and we have no answer to this. Therefore, the European Union must have the courage to attempt to develop and justify a new offensive and defensive strategy and to allow this to influence policy. It is not enough simply to adopt this statement tomorrow. It may well be right – it is not wrong, and therefore I can support it – but it is not enough. Anything can be written on paper. The situation of the Christians in the countries listed is, unfortunately, not so easily dealt with, and the people there urgently need our help. Therefore – and this has nothing to do with religious conflicts – Europe must support these Christians, also in respect of the freedom of conscience and belief, and consider new strategies and new developments for ways in which it can better help these people and exert more pressure on the governments to actually assist these people."@en1
