President Obama Hails Morocco's Efforts to Protect Religious Minorities
Contact: K.Drawi, 240-994-2476
ROCKVILLE, Md., Jan. 28, 2016 /Standard Newswire/ -- On Wednesday, January 27, 2016, President Barack Obama delivered a speech at the Righteous Among the Nations Award Ceremony at the Israeli Embassy in Washington to mark the 71st anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp in Poland where more than one million people were murdered.
Speaking to honor non-Jews who saved Jewish lives during the Holocaust, the President declared ''Every faith community has a responsibility. Just as all religions speak out against those who try to twist their faith to justify terrorism and violence, just as all faiths need to speak out when interpretations of their religion veer in an ugly direction, so, too, must they speak out against those who use their faith to justify bias against Jews, or people of any faith'.'
His Holiness Pope Francis has spoken forcefully against anti-Semitism, saying, "Every human being, as a creature of God, is our brother, regardless of his origins or religious beliefs," recalled the President.
President Obama also underscored that ''We know that there were Muslims - from Albanians to Arabs -who protected Jews from Nazis.''
"In Morocco, leaders from Muslim-majority countries around the world just held a summit on protecting religious minorities, including Jews and Christians,'' said President Obama, referring to a historic three-day international conference on the future of pluralism in the Muslim world that was held this year in Marrakesh from January 25th to 27th. The event was hosted by the government of Morocco and the Forum for Promoting Peace in Muslim Societies, under the high patronage of HM King Mohammed VI.
Christian, Jewish, Hindu and Sikh clergy participated in this conference alongside more than 300 religious and political leaders from Muslim-majority countries – including Egypt, Turkey, Iraq, Pakistan and Iran.
President Obama concluded his speech by saying ''These are the voices we must heed. And anyone who claims to be a religious leader must project that vision.''
