The new decree of the new authorities of Tunisia – the ban on prayer – is quite understandable. Many have long complained that the faithful are opting for religious purposes are not the most suitable locations. Can spread out mats on the road, paying no attention to the fact that interfere with other people to move freely. Replying to these complaints, the Ministry of Interior has decided to remind Muslims: prayer is better in the mosques. The capital city of Tunisia decree is quite relevant. Jams, jam the streets, narrow sidewalks – to move in an already difficult. But in all this, perhaps there is a subtext: the authorities want to minimize the congestion of people on the streets to pray does not turn into ordinary Protestants. But the mood in Tunisia – are not the most stable. Many have been waiting some results from the change of power, but they do not come. In the heart of the capital still armored personnel carriers, military Humvees, barbed wire, soldiers with machine guns guarding state institutions and museums. Walls of the houses are painted revolutionary slogans, and one of the main streets are now selling caricatures of the former president Ben Ali. Desire to continue the revolutionary process does not cease. The revolution, if we recall, began with an act of self-immolation of the local unemployed. Since then it has likewise set on fire a few more people, and the authorities are seriously worried the new unrest. However, the ban on prayer in public places may be interpreted differently. Obviously, for someone it would be a violation of freedom. And the decree of the Ministry can be used as a new pretext for interventions. In addition to act on the streets of many very much, because the chaos in the city allowed with impunity to do whatever he wants. In the capital, was burned by a large supermarket where all the appliances were separated, destroyed and looted the smaller shops. The next revolution is still visible on the streets. But it should be noted that religious restrictions may not be so hard impact on Tunisia. Mainly because this country has always been more liberal views, and religion are not erected to the highest degree. In addition, with the advent of the new government people have noticed that the calls to prayer that sounded from loudspeakers mounted on mosques, are now sounding louder. It is said that when Ben Ali was a secret decree does not exceed a certain threshold level. Now it is no longer observed, and it can become a sort of compensation for those who are too painful accept a ban on prayer on the road. In the end, in Tunisia is full of mosques, so get to the nearest and pray it is not difficult.
