>> Tunisia was just one of many European colonies at that time in history. First under Italy, later under France.

What's this you say? Until 50 years ago the Christians were busy occupying and murdering Muslims out of pure religious hatred? Such vile people! They are all after re-establishing the Christian-Roman Empire and want to Crusade into Muslim lands...

Ok, I am done playing Ilaine now...it was not as fun as I thought. It was quite dumb actually, but I just wanted to know how it felt like to have her kind of logic.

In 1998 there were 20,000 Christians in Tunisia. Now there are 200. How does colonialism figure in the events of the past decade?

At any rate, when the Christian population shrinks to 0.22%, that gives the lie to any argument about "religious freedom" and "protection of Christians" in Tunisia.

It was a specious argument, to begin with.
