SANTORUM PUSHES FOR RELIGIOUS FREEDOM WORLDWIDE

Writing in Townhall, the Senator explained “Diplomatically, we must galvanize the Internal Religious Freedom Act; see religious freedom as a non-negotiable cornerstone to any fledgling democratic state; insist that our allies protect the religious rights of all citizens, regardless of whether their beliefs comport with the state’s or not (e.g., Copts in Egypt); ask that U.S. officials, when meeting with leaders of "Countries of Particular Concern," name and inquire about the status of prisoners of conscience; and do more than merely issue reports on the incidences of religious freedom abuses worldwide.”
