Tunisia: Muslims besiege university, take hostages to demand face veils, end of mixed classesRemember this about Tunisia:
...Tunisia's Salafists have become more assertive in recent months, following the revolution that ousted a staunchly secular regime along with president Zine el Abidine Ben Ali in January following mass protests....
Tunisia has relations with both the European Union—with whom it has an association agreement—and the Arab world. Tunisia is also a member of the Arab Maghreb Union, the Arab League and the African Union. Tunisia has established close relations with France in particular, through economic cooperation, industrial modernization, and privatisation programs. The government's approach to the Israel-Palestine conflict has also made it an intermediary in Middle Eastern diplomacy.Look for the Arab Spring to appear in the West within the next several months as Muslims living in the West more actively seek "the will of Allah." The jihadists are making it plain that they have "found the will of Allah" as the Arab Spring continues to sweep through the Islamic world.
The Arab Spring isn't a movement for freedom. Rather, it's the revival of fundamentalist Islam in places where fundamentalist Islam didn't previously have such strong inroads.
