Origin - 2018 - Fourth part-session

In the draft resolution, replace paragraphs 7, 7.1, 7.2 and 7.3 with the following paragraph:

"When any measure regarding the foreign funding of Islam is considered, the Assembly recommends to treat all religions on an equal footing and to refrain from placing the Muslim community under any general suspicion that may lead to Islamophobia and, on a broader level, from instrumentalising the question of foreign funding. When more drastic measures are considered, such as a sweeping ban on foreign funding, the Assembly also recommends to first organise a broad consultation, with clearly defined aims."
