Tunisia :Salafists want to change society!

Tunisian Islamists dare tone, once in power. They decided to ban the violence any cultural event that sings freedom, beauty, and democracy does not promote their political doctrine.

It is said that history repeats itself. What is happening in Tunisia reminds us very bad memories and events heralding the disaster that has plunged the country into a nameless horror. In our country, the Islamist FIS showed their true colors by attacking starting all cultural events, encouraged by the hysterical Ali Belhadj who said that even the song is "Kufr". They started in 1990, by making threats to prevent the holding of a concert of the Franco-Portuguese singer Linda de Suza.

At the time, the power has shown a weakness criminal simply canceling the concert in question. Algerian Islamists have won an unexpected victory, which will encourage them to recur. Thus in a second step, they try to prevent a recital singer Aït Menguellet the Atlas room. They have failed in their challenge thanks to the courage of the artist and citizen mobilization. Unfortunately, the police did not stop the "bearded" to organize sit-in in the room. This impunity will give them wings.

The same situation is repeated today in Tunisia. Salafists are passed directly to violence, giving an overview of what can wait Tunisians if they let it happen.

As in Algeria, the police did not intervene to neutralize troublemakers. There is something to wonder about this passivity. We know that the Ministry of the Interior has not been purged of elements loyal to Ben Ali. They decided to leave rotting to pave the way for a possible return of the former dictator, thief or simply for revenge? Either the police have received instructions from the Government Ennahda not to intervene and let the Salafists and break the "Democrat"? We know that the party is also composed of Ghannouchi and his Salafi leader can not or does not want to upset them. Between its radical and democratic movement, Ghannouchi made ​​his choice.

The first part of his political and the second is the only one to be able to thwart its objectives.

Nothing says hostility to cultural events is one of the signs that will lead Tunisia in Islamist violence such as that experienced Algeria. But we must remain vigilant and discourse "reconciler" Ennahda is not an illusion.?
