Tunisia has been plauged by terror at least since 2012, and has a large minority of almost 15 percent of the population which is supportive of Isis and is also the country that has sent most foreign fighters to join Isis.

Yes, even more than the UK.

Even after its “succesful” arab spring it promtly elected an islamist government democratically.

I said that for foreign tourists and visitors it was safe until March. I am well aware of the recent history of the country and its relationship to the Arab Spring. I never said it was perfect, I simply said it was one of the safer countries in the ME/N Africa for westerners. Which by and large it has been. Until 2015.

Arabs and Muslims in vote for same type of people shock.

They weren’t going to vote for ginger Scots, Nigel Farage and Red Ed, were they?. I would rather have ME/NA govts with as little Muslim content as possible, but if the Muslim content is genuinely moderate, then OK. To a point.
