I fully agree, they should be able to eat during ramadan without getting killed. Tunisians have the largest representation pro capita in the world of Isis members.


Jailing someone for eating or drinking in public during Ramadan has always been a debatable topic between conservatives and liberal activists in Arab countries with Muslim majorities.
In Tunisia, campaign “مش بالسيف” or “MouchBessif” which means: “Nothing can be against our will”, was launched by the beginning of Ramadan 2017. Tunisian activists of Association des Libres Penseurs protesting for the right to eat and drink in public during Ramadan.

It all started in May 2017, after the Tunisian authorities arrested five men on the charges of “public indecency” after smoking a cigarette or eating in public during Ramadan.
Tunisia is a the Muslim majority country with a secular orientation, several people demanded the the government to respect their religious freedom, especially as there are no explicit laws in the country require individuals to fast or prevent them from eating in public.

Activists of the “MouchBessif” campaign are calling people to participate in a protest on May 27, 2018, for the second year in a row demanding their right to break their fast as they wish without being jailed or fined.
Since the ousting of President Zayn al-Abidine Ben Ali in 2011, Tunisia became known as the most liberal country in the Arab world as the country’s constitution was amended guaranteeing freedom of religion for everyone. In addition to scoring progress on human rights issues, including laws on violence against women, activists in several Arab countries are trying to follow their steps.

On social media, Tunisian users rowed over the campaign using hashtag “مش بالسيف”, with some activists calling for freedom of religion for all individuals

Another Muslim bashing thread.
Not at all. This is an important freedom to choose issue. And the first steps toward the creation of a secular democracy.
Surely you can get behind that can't you?

You don't support arrests for nonobservance of a religious custom do you?

LOL...When did you and Zaib become so deeply concerned about human rights in Tunisia?

Oh yeah...When the opportunity to bash Muslims presented itself.

Same old...

Read my posts. I'm a big fan of secular democracy. Aren't you?

Freedom should be as much about the right not to worship.

You seem a tad confused. This article says absolutely nothing about being murdered for eating during Ramadan.

I've never heard either Zaibetter or Butler express any interest in Tunisia before. In fact, I doubt either could find it on the map.

I commend both for their sudden interest in the welfare of the Tunisians. I'm sure this has nothing to do with their obsession with Muslims.

When that fruit seller burned himself alive in very much came in my radar. When it became the catalyst for the Arab Spring it every much came in my radar.

Also as a good southern harbor for boat cruisers in winter who are visiting the med. I've been doing some research.

Just to the left top of Libya. Short hop from Italy boot toe. Hence the good place to park your boat. If Libya can settle down it will be better as well.

Well aren't you just a bit judgemental no? You're getting more insulting lately. Not good for a professional to show his emotions so much.

Nor you yours.

If you do park your boat in either Tunisia or Libya, you may want to muzzle your contempt for the locals and their "primitive beliefs". Wouldn't want any accidents to that nice boat.

Lol. The marinas I've been looking at are expat havens. A gated boating community if you will. I just want to see the locals better off and not subjected to persecution based on religious beliefs or a lack thereof.

When I retire and go rest assured the boating community is incredibly gossipy about good and bad places to stay. And with the net quite up to date.

I want to be able to visit these wonderful places, eat local cuisine, see ancient cities, and hopefully interact with locals as well.

Tough to do if I'm an infidel.

And it seems the protesters are not being locked up or murdered. Seems Z's bad Muslim thread is really him showing that there is progress.

I'm glad to see that. You will note I'm hopeful as stated above. Secular is good.
