[edit] Is there really an Islam in Tunisia...
I doubt it, from 18 years living here, I can affirm there isn't
True practicing individuals are rare and heavily watched by the goverment, and are sorta of outcast from the rest of the population
They are generally not liked and regarded as dangerous and/or twisted extremists
Although there are some cities which appear to be concentration points for these people, but police is watching them non stop, 24/7 especially Thursday and Friday, 150,000 officer in this virginia-sized country, you know what I'm saying
But I guess that's for the best since letting these twisted individuals free and unwatched wont be healthy for the nation neither the world for that matter
high school institutions forbid hijab among female students and requires them to remove it in order to attend, but these cases are really rare since most students have more of a european fashion :)
[edit] non-Muslim name
The Government does not allow the use of foreign names. Any Arab name with a respected meaning that will not cause problems for the child in the future is accepted. So we should say non-Arabic name and not non-Muslim name, because they are totally different. I think there is a law that regulate this, I will try to cite it as soon as possible. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Bestofmed (talk • contribs) 16:36, 19 March 2007 (UTC).
