| Tunisia: Pact That Bans Normalisation With Israel Adopted | |
| 2011-07-03 | |
| (ANSAmed) - TUNISIA, JULY 1 - Today Tunisia's commission of political reform announced that it adopted (by majority) a ''republican pact'' that will be the basis of the future new Constitution, and in particular it states the rejection of any normalisation with Israel. While announcing the pact the president of the commission, Yadh Ben Achour, did not offer any details, but the Arab speaking Tunisian press published its content, which defines Tunisia as a free and democratic country, whose official language is Arab and whose religion is Islam. The pact, that will serve as the basis of the future Constitution, categorically rejects ''any form of normalisation with the Zionist State'', and supports the Palestinian cause.

| #2 With Islam, it is *always* the lesser of evils. And lesser evils are still evil. Come to think of it, on April 1st, some wit could likely cause severe consternation throughout the ummah by writing that the small, but very wealthy, imaginary Muslim nation of Zamunda(*) has had a regime change, and its new constitution says: 1) Peace, friendship and trade with Israel. 2) Sharia courts disbanded, and henceforth the country will only have a secular, Common Law legal system. 3) Religious political parties are forbidden, but otherwise, the 70% Muslim majority has agreed by referendum to religious freedom for all minority religions, that they may build their own churches, temples, synagogues and mosques without government hindrance. 4) The freedom for women to dress, drive and work as they want, for liquor and Haram food to be sold legally, and for religion or non-religion to be based solely in personal conscience, with proselytization and conversion being legal as well. 5) Wahhabism, Salafism, and any organization associated with terrorism are prohibited, and individuals aligned with those groups are forbidden to enter the country. (*) Zamunda was Eddie Murphy's imaginary nation in the movie Coming to America. |
