It is good that Rached Khiari is being investigated, but it also should be noted (although it only will be here) that many, many other Muslims in Tunisia and all over the world agree with him. “Tunisian MP probed for allegedly glorifying beheading of French teacher,” DW, October 18, 2020: Tunisia has launched an investigation […]
Tunisia turns back hundreds of migrants trying to cross into Europe, while Italy and the UK do nothing
Tunisia is making efforts to control the flow of illegal Muslim migrants into the European Union, while globalist leaders are doing nothing to stop them. Even Boris Johnson has done nothing to stop the thousands that have arrived in Britain since the coronavirus lockdown began. Over the years, Italy has become a main entry point […]
Tunisia: Islamic State claims jihad knife attack in tourist town
Islamic jihadis hate tourism. Tourism is Western, un-Islamic, and often involves drinking. That could be behind the choice of venue here. Or this may simply be an announcement to the new government that the Islamic State (ISIS) is a force to be reckoned with in Tunisia. “Tunisia: Islamic State group claims Sousse knife attack,” BBC, […]
Tunisian woman sentenced to prison for desecrating Qur’an flees to Germany, where ‘freedom of speech is respected’
At least for now. But Germany has brought in massive numbers of people who believe that freedom of speech is unworthy of respect, and who would likely think that Emna Chargui’s sentence was just, so the arena of freedom is contracting. “Woman Sentenced to Six Months for Quran Desecration Flees Tunisia,” IQNA, August 11, 2020 […]
Italy: 11,000 migrants arrive in a single week, over 130 test positive for coronavirus
Italy’s former Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini has been sharply criticized for his “nationalist,” “racist” views, particularly when he warned that Europe risked becoming an “Islamic caliphate” given the flood of illegal migrants from North Africa. One of Salvini’s biggest supporters is Tony Iwobi, Italy’s first and only black senator. Although Iwobi is routinely slammed […]
Tunisia: Blogger gets prison for post about coronavirus written in the style of the Qur’an
“And if you are in doubt as to which We have revealed to Our servant, then produce a sura like it, and call on your helper, besides Allah, if you are truthful.” Qur’an 2:23 Emna Charqui took up this challenge, probably unwittingly, and so must go to prison. For even though the Qur’an is presenting […]
Tunisia: Court charges blogger with “inciting hatred between religions” for parody of Qur’an
Yet another glimpse into the future of the U.S. This can’t happen here, you say? We respect the freedom of speech, you say? Maybe that was true at one time, but it is no longer. Cowardice is pandemic. Newspapers all over the country refused to republish the notorious Muhammad cartoons out of a newfound “respect” […]
Tunisia: Young woman arrested for publishing fake Qur’an verses about coronavirus
Amna Al-Sharqi has dared to take up this challenge, albeit unwittingly: “And if you are in doubt as to what We have revealed from time to time to our servant, then produce a sura like it.” (Qur’an 2:23) “Say, ‘If mankind and the jinn gathered in order to produce the like of this Qur’an, they […]
Tunisia: Two jihadis arrested for trying to infect police with coronavirus

Tunisia closes mosques over coronavirus, Al Jazeera claims “Tunisia has a problem with internalised Islamophobia”
Al Jazeera ultimately retracted this claim, but the entire incident was illustrative of how the “Islamophobia” narrative is generally advanced: any action that is taken, and statement that is made, that is perceived to be in the slightest way opposed to the practice of Islam, including jihad violence, will result in the application of the […]
Germany: Muslim migrant randomly attacks two people with machete and axe, police say it’s “mental illness”
“Police arrested a 27-year-old Tunisian migrant in the German city of Augsburg after he randomly attacked two people with a machete and an axe….Minutes later, the migrant attacked another bus and threatened a woman inside after smashing the side windows of the vehicle.” The Islamic State and al-Qaeda have been long specifically calling for the […]

In Tunisia, The Travails of Trabelsi
Ever since Tunisia gained its independence from France in 1956, it has been the most secular of Arab states. While Islam is recognized in the Tunisian constitution as the state religion, its practice is quite relaxed. This is due in large part to Habib Bourguiba, the nationalist leader who was President of Tunisia from 1957 […]
Tunisia: Muslim “religious extremist” stabs French tourist to death
This Xinhua article identifies the attacker only as a “religious extremist.” Apparently even the Chinese establishment media wants to make sure that readers don’t get any negative impression of Islam. But this happened in Tunisia, so it’s quite clear what kind of “religious extremist” was involved here. Islamic jihadis in Muslim countries hate tourists, who […]
Italy: Muslim migrant once deported by Salvini mocks him as country reopens ports
Populist leader Matteo Salvini has scolded Italy’s new government: “With the new [Italian] government, many migrants are ready to leave Tunisia to come to Italy.’ This is madness! Shame on you Conte, you are destroying Italy!” Salvini is right. 2000 African migrants have landed in Italy in September; one illegal Tunisian migrant among them is […]

Tunisia: “Islamic sharia law” invoked to shut down LGBTQ rights
“One of the Arab world’s most visible advocacy groups defending the rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex people is facing closure following legal threats by the government.” Tunisia has a history of secularism, but “following the revolution of early 2011, more room was created for religious political parties to operate in the country”. […]
World’s largest Islamic charity, Islamic Relief, implicated in Tunisian terror probe
In Islam, zakat — the alms required of every Muslim — can and should be given to further the jihad. So it shouldn’t surprise anyone that there are so many jihad-linked charities. The Obama administration dropped a terror funding case against Islamic Relief “Islamic Relief and Qatar Implicated in Tunisian Terror Finance Investigationm” by Sam […]
Muslim screaming “Allahu akbar” tries to enter cockpit on Paris-to-Tunis flight
The passengers on the flight should have recognized, as they have been told by CNN, the New York Times and others, that “Allahu akbar” is a benign and even beautiful phrase, and opened the cockpit door to him, so as not to appear to be “Islamophobic.” “Transavia passenger shouts ‘Allahu Akbar’ and tries to enter […]
Tunisia: Muslima blows herself up on Tunis street, many injured
“Indeed, Allah has purchased from the believers their lives and their properties, for that they will have Paradise.
