Sam Brownback: “Yasser Arafat has demonstrated a manifest unwillingness to address this issue.”

Religious freedom is a fundamental right of every human no matter where they live, who they are, or what they believe.

Promotion of international religious freedom is in our national interest, and it directly supports national security priorities including the defeat of ISIS and other violent extremist groups.

We need to put into place policies that will hopefully end that genocide.

I look forward to working with people, working with you, working with everybody, regardless of their ideas or views, on how we can advance the agenda of religious freedom.
