ALGIERS- Abdelkader Bengrina, the president of the El-Bina El Watani Movement, responded to the U.S. State Department’s report on religious freedom in Algeria.
Bengrina stated in a media release that the U.S. State Department’s statement is routine and not new or unprecedented, indicating Washington’s commitment to the principle of intervening in the internal affairs of countries.
He affirmed that Algeria is a country that fosters various religions, citing the official name of the Algerian Ministry of Religious Affairs and Endowments. He argued that the name reflects Algeria’s embrace of various religions without discrimination, unlike other countries that mainly use names like the Ministry of Endowments.
The president of the El-Bina El Watani Movement mentioned that 99% of Algerians belong to the Islamic faith. In contrast, he highlighted the existence of a Catholic church officially recognized in Algeria, led by a holder of Algerian citizenship. He stated that the church’s worshippers live fraternally with Muslims.
