Tunisia elections shows strong Islamist vote

I’m shocked, SHOCKED that Tunisia would vote in a party that would institute Sharia law.

SHOCKED!

CBN NEWS – In its first free election since Tunisia gained independence from France more than 50 years ago, more than 90 percent of the country’s registered voters cast ballots on Sunday.

Out of the 80 political parties on the ballot, the formerly banned Islamist Ennahda party is taking the early lead for the new 217-seat constituent assembly, which will write a new constitution for the country.

Officials predict that all votes will be in by Tuesday. …

Should Ennahda win a decisive victory, the new government could overturn Tunisia’s progressive legislation on women and families in favor of Islamic sharia law.
