| Tunisia attack on Christian man |
Although the Tunisian revolution of last year was praised for its removal of the West-supported Ben Ali, the present conditions within the nation for minorities appear to be getting much worse, with a new video showing a Christian convert being beheaded for refusing to recant his beliefs in Jesus Christ.
Middle Eastern talk show host Tawfiq Okasha aired the graphic footage as part of his segment on condemning the extremity in certain sects of modern Islam.
The video shows a number of masked men attacking Christianity as a polytheistic religion because of the Trinity concept, saying:
"Let Allah be avenged on the polytheist apostate.”
As the cries grow louder, the Christian man restrained upon the ground is beheaded with a long knife, putting up little resistance as if he knows his fate is sealed.
Commenting on the incident, Okasha inquired of all Muslims in the region:
"Is this Islam? Does Islam call for this?
The violent murder follows a string of attacks on followers of minority faiths in the Middle East in the era after 2011’s widely broadcast Arab Spring.
