I wonder why no one start a thread about Tunis and it's recent circumstances that effected Islamic countries widely. yeah we all monitor and watching their movement. it's promising and hope they achieve democracy peacefully.
The irony of luxury boats moored next on a superb beach and the poor girl forced to wear that hazmat suit . Rarely is the sharia stupidity so well evidenced .
Probably not from Tunis or at least that couple couldn't be Tunisian. yeah right it shows that couple who were religious Muslim could go to beach with other people peacefully. now Tunis got major rule to start change in middle east I guess and we shall be see same pad in Egypt, Algeria, Jordan, Syria and Iran. we struggled a lot for democracy, a lot more than Tunisian I think but seems deal with ideological regimens are so harder.
WEll I'm not gonna ask you to be against the burqa but you can't just pass the fact that he's in shorts and she can't even go for a swimm .
This posts just reeks of ignorance, it must be embarrassing for you each time I point it out. 1) Burqa or even Headscarf is banned in Tunisia 2) Men having Islamic looks (beard) is illegal. Stop posting if you know nothing!
yeah right, good point, Muslim men have more freedom than women. even a Muslim man can have a Christian or Jew partner whereas for a Muslim woman it's impossible.
headscarf is not banned. shame about tunisia its a wonderful country I ride there all the time. tunisia is relaxed about islam its actually one of the most moderate countries in north africa. im very sad to see them at war like this...it wont solve anything for them and one bunch of corrupt politicians will be replaced by the next...
The government prohibited efforts to proselytize Muslims; it also restricted the wearing of "sectarian dress," including the hijab (Islamic headscarf). Domestic and international human rights organizations reported instances of police harassment of women wearing the hijab and men with traditional Islamic dress and beards. http://www.state.gov/g/drl/rls/irf/2010/148847.htm
Ya suicide bombing is also banned by their book and you've seen the results .A corrupted regime and some bans that are most likely selectively reinforced won't stop radicalism from enslaving women .
You know nothing about Tunisia, theres nothing Islamic about the country and Mullah's play no role in the countries politics and any attempts at radicalizing Muslims is severely punished. Its the most open-minded Muslim Majority country rivaled probably only by Jordan. I'm not going to bother giving you any links because its high time you started doing your own research.
I'm of the opinion that reasonable restriction of freedom for the greater good should be acceptable. The greater good can be to undo centuries of women oppression or stopping prevalent gun crime.
headscarfs are cool i ride in tunisia all the time...they are not common but they are cool you can wear a headscarf no problem...true i spend most of my time in the dessert but ive been to the main town and some tourist places and there are SOME women with headscarfs it seems no big deal...
