Tunisia under schizophrenic Political Islam | Eutopia Institute

Tunisia under schizophrenic Political Islam | Eutopia Institute

Egypt and Tunisia appear to be a laboratory of democracy as well as an example of the cul-de-sac in which the political Islam finds itself. In both countries the Islamist parties have won – more or less democratically – the elections but are still unable to govern properly. Even worse, they are losing in popularity. This impasse has two major causes: the complex agenda which numerous foreign forces are trying to implement in the region and the internal ideological dysfunctioning which a confrontation with the true practice of power brings along, since it is a mistake to think that a society could be forced to gather under one unique flag in the name of religion. In such a context, what kind of democracy could be established? The transition seems to last very long, and the road to true stability is extremely painful; its cost is inestimable, if not totally unaffordable.
