Religious freedom is a fundamental human right of every person on earth. It has been recognized by international accords and by the Second Vatican Council. But religious liberty is under attack in many countries around the world.
The United States committed itself to the promotion of religious liberty through its foreign policy in the 1998 International Religious Freedom Act (IRFA). The law provides that it will be the policy of the United Sates to condemn violations of religious freedom and to promote and assist other governments in the promotion of the fundamental right to freedom of religion.
Congress felt it was necessary to make this clear in the IRFA because it is easy to forget about religious freedom when policymakers are so focused on national security, economic issues and other human rights that religious freedom is forgotten.
Although much of the motivation for passage of this act was concern over the persecution of Christians, the law is generic -- it applies to all religions.
The IRFA provides for the creation of the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF), to which President Barack Obama recently appointed me. The purpose of the commission is to review annually the efforts of the U.S. government in implementing the IRFA.

<h3>
An Unforgettable Moment of My Life</h3>
As I entered the park, a voice came, "Don't look back, otherwise. He has not completed the sentence when it occurred to me that I have run into an armed robber. I could not look back but I was having a cold feeling of a gun on my scalp. I became very jittery at that spot. The robber ordered that I release all the valuables on me. While I was being reluctant and he was dealing mercilessly with me, the cops appeared. The whole park was filled with police officers that he had no means of escape.
He was arrested and taken to the police station. After a few months, I heard he had been given a jail term. That day was a day I can never forget because the fear of a riffle made me forget everything about my existence.
Correct answer: B) The population of the newly created Israeli state grew rapidly.
Context/details:
Jewish settlers had been coming into Palestine since the late 1800s. During the years following World War I, that population stream continued to grow.
After World War II ended, the United Nations (UN) adopted a plan for the partition of Palestine that would create a portion of that territory as the state of Israel. Arabs in the region and surrounding Arab nations were not in favor of this. On May 14, 1948, the Jewish leaders in the land proclaimed their independence as a nation, and a war with Arab peoples and nations in the region followed. Israel won that war and established itself as a nation. The new state of Israel was granted membership in the UN in 1949.
In 1950, the Israeli government passed the "Law of Return," which said that "every Jew has the right to come to this country." In their minds, they were returning to the land of their ancestors. Many people of Jewish ancestry did go to become citizens of Israel. At the time that Israel declared its independence in May, 1948, the Israeli population was 806,000. By 1960, a decade after the Law of Return had passed, the population had more than doubled, to 2.2 million. By the end of the 20th century a few decades later, Israel's population grew to nearly 6½ million.
