In Tunisia, there’s a growing disagreement between conservative Muslims and secular Tunisian used to the way things were under the previous regime. While no one misses the Ben Ali regime, many of the secular people worry that they’ll be overwhelmed by fundamentalists.

Tunisian opposition party leader Mohammed Brahmi was shot dead outside his house this morning. It’s the second political assassination this year in Tunisia, the birthplace of the Arab Spring.

One of the many things that has changed in Tunisia since the revolution is the media landscape, which enjoys a lot more freedom today.

Tunisia’s practicing Muslims have begun asserting themselves on the streets, in politics and in the media.

The Islamic Ennahda party has the largest bloc in Tunisia’s new constitutional assembly. Critics of Ennahda worry it will change the country’s predominantly secular legal codes. Tunisia’s Jews say they’re not worried, at least not yet.
