International religious freedom bill hopes to fight terrorism, promote security

Washington D.C., Apr 19, 2015 / 04:45 pm .- A bill boosting promotion of religious freedom abroad could deter terror groups like ISIS, protect vulnerable minorities and foster global security, advocates say. The bill is "an important first step in improving the ability of our nation to advance religious freedom globally," stated Bishop Oscar Cantu of Las Cruces, chair of the U.S. Bishops' Committee on International Justice and Peace, in an April 10 letter to Congress.
