2- Al-Azhar and the Egyptian Coptic Orthodox Church continue to work together as part of the "Egyptian Family Home" initiative to deepen the principle of citizenship and combat incitement to violence and discrimination based on religion, including online. 3- Al-Azhar has established the Observatory for Takfiri Fatwas, which is tasked with monitoring Takfiri fatwas and ideas that are being broadcast online and confronting them by refuting them and clarifying the correct Islamic opinion, in different languages. One of the best practices that we recommend referring to in the closing recommendations is this experience. 4- The Forum of Moderate Tolerance of the Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs has been established; and religious lessons and seminars have been held to emphasize the culture of dialogue and renounce violence, bigotry and terrorism. As for the legislation promoting tolerance and religious freedoms, it is important to note Law No. 80 of 2016, which governs the building and restoration of churches and their annexes. The Law guarantees for the first time in Egypt's history the procedures for issuing construction work permits for churches; approvals have been issued so far to legalize the status of 1,737 churches and service buildings, among the requests received from different Christian denominations. In addition to the above, the Egyptian government is restoring synagogues in Cairo and Alexandria as well as Jewish cemeteries in the city of Fustat in Cairo.
