Resolution II.4

Christianity In Islamic Societies

This Conference;

mindful of the great changes that have taken place in many nations with a substantial or majority Islamic population, and recognising the historic contributions of Islamic culture to ideals of justice and religious freedom;
views with concern the tendency in some such nations to seek to enforce a legal code which encourages discrimination against, or harassment of, non-Muslim communities;
resolves:
1. respectfully to request the governments of nations where such discriminations and harassment are common occurrences to affirm their commitment to religious liberty; and
2. to pledge ourselves to support the civil and religious liberties of Muslims in situations where they are in a minority, and to combat prejudice and ignorance about Islam among Christians and others.
