On 24 May, following Imbaba churches attack
  
House of Commons debate treatment of Christians

Excerpts

 

"There is violent persecution of Christians across the world. There are numerous areas of great concern."

 

"Hate education fomented by Islamist opinion is causing many of these problems."

 

"Egypt is particularly crucial because a significant minority are Christians—Copts and Catholics."

 

"Recently, the MEP Peter van Dalen urged the EU to make more rights for the Egyptian Coptic community a policy priority and to develop a strategy for religious freedom. Mr van Dalen pointed out that more concrete European action is needed as the position of Christians worsens across the world."

 

"We Hope to see international action to stem it, and the promotion of inclusivity rather than expelling people on religious grounds."
