Interfaith Dialogue Initiatives for Human Rights Promotion in Egypt

The relationship between religion and human rights is much contended. The question that this research asks is how can interfaith dialogue lead to strengthen human rights. The research builds on the history and structures of inter-communal relations as well as current initiatives of interfaith dialogue in Egypt in order to try to understand the weaknesses of interfaith dialogue initiatives in the Egyptian setting. This research brings forth a new call for democratized interfaith dialogue that assists rather than weaken human right promotion in Egypt.
