The reason it is not getting press in the US is because it does not reflect the agenda of the government. While Al Jazeera and BBC are covering this day in and day out, CNN is busy talking about the 13th Zodiac sign.

**The Government in Tunisia is very similar to that of Algeria. Extremely repressive, involved in violations of human rights in the name of the war on terror and regularly tortures its individuals. **That is why Algeria is afraid it will be the next to fall. Oh yes…I forgot. The Tunisian government was actively funded by the EU.

Yeh under the dictator - which is not their anymore. The revolution started by educated & secular middle class of Tunisia is eye-opener for rest of the mumbo-jumbo so-called Muslim Leaders.

Hopefully civil society of Pakistan gain some momentum and vigilantly adopt & defend secularism as a way of doing government, it will take time - maybe decades but that is one dream which will be reached hopefully in our lifetimes.
