Plain-English Summary
The legislation would direct the U.S. State Department to monitor and report on anti-Muslim discrimination and violence around the world, similar to how it currently tracks religious persecution and human rights abuses. It would establish a special envoy position within the State Department to coordinate efforts addressing Islamophobia internationally and work with other countries to combat anti-Muslim sentiment. The measure would affect U.S. foreign policy and diplomatic relationships by making opposition to religious discrimination against Muslims a formal priority in America's international engagement.
