Tunisias western city of Sidi Bouzid is now dry...
Chanting al-Charab haram (alcohol is sin), dozens of Salafists burst into Sidi Bouzids Horchani hotel on Monday, September 3. The throng of men quickly homed in on the hotels liquor stock, seizing bottles of alcohol and throwing them against the walls or smashing them on the floor.
The incident comes around four months after the citys Salafist community first launched a war against alcohol consumption, pressuring or intimidating several bars into shutting down. Those who tried to resist saw their businesses come under attack, much like the Horchani hotel.

I never thought about closing my bar except during Ramadan specifically because the government had assured me that my bar and I would be safe. The governor and the police chief encouraged me to stay open, saying that they would ensure my security and that of the bar. When I filed a complaint the first time, they told me Islamists would not attack me because I had a license and because the hotel is far from the city centre. Im actually based near the entrance to Sidi Bouzid, which is not at all residential. I thought I would be spared...
I feel like the police and the government have completely abandoned me. Yesterday, we called the police as soon as the Salafists broke into the hotel. They were there for more than 30 minutes, destroying everything, and the police only arrived after they had left.
I am seriously considering paying for a private security company, like in Iraq, to protect my establishment. If the authorities can no longer guarantee our safety, we will all eventually be forced to hire private security to defend ourselves.

And here I thought it was "al-Cohol".
"They took the bar....the whole f'ing bar!"
Something tells me that if they are going to ever allow the free sale of liquor again, the restoration of this owner’s rights will be a great deal more bloody than the 21st amendment was...
Two stepping...
“Islam delenda est!”
Bloody savages!!
Just another story of muslim pigs being muslim pigs...
>the government had assured me that my bar and I would be safe.
You pay yer money you take yer chances with that muzlim lifestyle. Life is cheap in jihadiville.
Interesting that Carthage, of "Carthago delenda est!" (from your quote) is only a few miles from this squalid Hellhole. And Kasserine Pass, too, a place where many Ameircans lie buried under Crosses and Stars of David. Are their graves next?
In 1942 Gen. Patton placed guards on the soldier graves of Kasserine. In 1969 the new Libyan dictator Gaddafi threatened to dig up the graves of Italian WWII dead. His successors are now desecrating the graves of British soldiers.
Yes, the Kasserine graves may be next. Yes, the Muslims who infest once-Christian North Africa are moral savages.
