The culture of violence, fanaticism, and extremism that underlies ISIS’ thought is present, pervasive and deeply-rooted in the hearts of many who hold Egyptian citizenship. It may even dwarf the ugliness of ISIS found in Iraq and Syria. The Institute For Economics and Peace (IEP) index showed that the number of people who died because of global terrorism in all parts of the world has risen by 61% during 2013 from the previous year, to reach a record level of nearly 18,000 people, and this number rose significantly in 2014. Which obligates the international community, relevant organizations and particularly the United Nations, to do the following: 1. Search for ways to provide protection for minorities within their own countries, confront the problem of displacement, abandoning the idea of alternative homelands encouraged by countries which declare their readiness to welcome numbers of immigrants, and provide means of protection for minority groups’ religious and cultural heritage. 2. Work on cutting funding to organizations and associations that contribute to the spread of extremism, and confront their media platforms where they promote extremist ideas. 3. Provide greater support for developing and poor countries to improve educational systems and promote the exchange of scientific expertise through missions involving students and professors from these countries. 4. Find ways to encourage countries to fulfill their international obligations in laws for protection of minorities and prevent the violation of the right of minorities to live in dignity in the regions they inhabit. 5. Encourage religious institutions and leaders to play a role in spreading the culture of tolerance between religions and strengthening the bonds of love and harmony between different religions and the rejection of division, in addition to consolidating the values of equality among citizens without any discrimination based on gender, race or belief.
