“Indeed, Allah has purchased from the believers their lives and their properties, for that they will have Paradise. They fight in the cause of Allah, so they kill and are killed.” (Qur’an 9:111)
“One police officer dead and several injured near French embassy in Tunisia as two suicide bombers blow themselves up in separate attacks,” by Julian Robinson, MailOnline, June 27, 2019:
A police officer has been killed and several others are injured after two suicide bombers blew themselves up in Tunisia’s capital near the French embassy.
The first attack targeted a police patrol in Charles de Gaulle Street in central Tunis.
One police officer was killed and at least one other as well as three civilians were wounded, the Interior Ministry said.
Shortly afterwards, a second suicide bomber blew himself up near a police station in al-Gorjani district. Four people were wounded, the Interior Ministry said.
It was not immediately known who was behind the attacks, which come months before an election and at the peak of a tourist season in which Tunisia is hoping for a record number of visitors. …

Tunisia was always the most advanced, politically and socially, of Arab states. This was due to several things. The first was the effect of Habib Bourguiba, who led the Tunisian independence movement, and as the head of the Destour Party, remained in power long enough to set his firm secular stamp on Tunisia. The second was the effect of having a French-speaking elite, that could read French papers, listen to French radio, and view French television. Many members of that elite sent their children to be educated in France. All kinds of political and social ideas that were part of the advanced West but not the Islamic world thus became accessible to the Tunisian elite: Enlightenment skepticism, the rejection of clerical authority, belief in the advancements of science, have weakened the hold of Islam in Tunisia. Unfortunately, Ben Ali was not just secular, but also hideously corrupt, and was driven from office.. Fortunately, after Tuniisi’s “Arab Spring,” once the dust had settled, and the threat from the Islamist Rashid Ghannouchi (linked to the Muslim Brotherhood) repelled , Beji Caid Essebsi (who at the age of 92 has just had a medical emergency), became the President, and is — or was before his illness — following the same secular path that his political mentor, Habib Bourguiba, had long ago promoted. Who will follow Essebsi? Someone in the Bourguiba-Essebsi line of secularism, or someone in the Brotherhood line, linked to Gannouchi and his Ennahada Party?

What a mess! Seven minutes and still no ambulance, people running around, no police control of the crowd, passers-by looking over the shoulder at the dying policeman, the place not sealed off. The policemen running around like headless chickens brandishing guns for at least 3,5 minutes before taking the wounded officer out of the car.

It should away be remembered and never forgotten that such heinous and murderous bombings as like in example of a suicide/homicide jihad bomb attacks n Tunisia is ,many time but not always, the result of Muslim mind control places where Muslim males are thoroughly indoctrinated into the strong but blind and unquestioning faith in Koran with all non-watered down; hard core Islam with its militant jihad. Those places, “schools,” are called madrasas.
In those Islamic mind programming centers young Muslim male are ingrain in the mindset Koranic dogma of the use of violence and killing for the advancement of Islam. As the Koran instructs. As in, for example, in 2:191. 9:5, 123. 47:4. Many of those who of such center are so much damaged that they are literally dangerous to self and others. As seen many times in jihad suicide, homicide bombing/attacks. For the Koran instructs in 9:111. “The believers fight in Allah’s Cause, they slay and are slain, they kill and are killed.” Furthermore, those mind programming places also ingrain the outlandish absurd Koranic doctrine of a sex-filled paradise with many virgins, houris, in it for the Muslim male who dies fighting for the cause of Islam in the jihad. Such a strange doctrine of a houris filled- place in found in the Koran in 44:54. 55:56. 78:31.
Moreover, such Islamic mind programming centers are further explained about by the scholar Don Richardson in his book SECRETS OF THE KORAN which on pages 69,70. Informs the reader that “The world needs to be warned. At least forty million Muslim youth in the Muslim worlds’ religious schools, called madrasa, are avidly memorizing the entire Koran … These schools become breeding grounds for potential terrorists. When male students, isolated from family and friends in madrasa, reach puberty and their hormones are active, there are no girls to date. Instead, Muslim clerics easily shift to focusing the male student’s attention on Koranic verse that promises sex in heaven with dark-eyed houris. Students can only fantasize about martyrdom followed by the sexual release Muhammad promised. This is an unspeakably cruel brainwashing technique, and the Koran is its perfect guidebook.”
