#1 From an old Rantburg post: Captured Tunisian ISIS Fighter Confesses Muslim Brotherhood Encouraged Jihad in Syria. [PJMedia] A 34-year-old Tunisian ISIS fighter captured by Kurdish forces in Raqaa recently spoke to news hound Jenan Moussa of al-Aan TV. When asked why he had joined the terrorist organization, the fighter confessed that Ennahda -- the Moslem Brüderbund affiliate in Tunisia -- had encouraged young fighters to join the jihad in Syria. It's not a coincidence, then, that Tunisia had the largest number of imported muscle in Syria.

This deflates much of the U.S. think-tank and media establishment narrative that the Moslem Brüderbund serves as a "firewall" against jihadist groups: Posted by trailing wife 2017-07-17 00:00||

#2 Really good find, Gerthudion Whomoper3485. I’d forgotten about that, and have since wondered from time to time about the skewed numbers.

#4 Wow. Just this AM I ran across this:

"The only unmasked and anti COVID restrictions president in the world, Kais Saied-Tunisia, ejected all parliament members. They will be judged by the end of the month for the COVID measures they took that destroyed the economy."
