According to Al Quds, last Tuesday it was revealed that the Christian Orthodox
Church in Tunis, one of very few churches in the country of Tunisia, is being
"abused" and receiving "threatening messages" from "Salafis." Church members
are described as "living in a state of terror," so much so that the Russian
ambassador in Tunis specifically requested the nation's Ministry of Interior to
"protect the church."
Orthodox Church in Tunis.
The abuse has gotten to the point where "Salafis covered the cross of the
church with garbage bags, telling the church members that they do not wish to
see the vision of the Cross anywhere in the Islamic state of Tunisia."
Among all the Arab-speaking nations, Tunisia has long been described as one of
the most "secular" and "liberal"; it was also the first nation where the much
ballyhooed "Arab Spring" began. Now its very few churches are not tolerated,
and their crucifixes abhorred. If this is "tolerant" Tunisia, what should one
expect from the more "radical" nations? More evidence of the true nature of the
"Arab Spring."
