What Can We Do
If We Would Really Like to Fight Terrorism in Tunisia?

- Seifeddine Rezgui
was not born a terrorist. He was indoctrinated to become a terrorist. He
was the product of our educational system. What are the main
characteristics of this system? Our educational system encourages the
closedness of mind.
- It is not easy
for our students to accept others. Our religion teaches Muslims that
they are the best people. The Quran says: "You (Muslims) are the
best nation brought out for Mankind, commanding what is righteous and
forbidding what is wrong." [3:110] So, Muslim people think that
they hold the ultimate truth and that they must share it.
- Why do we not
break the idea that religion is a taboo topic that we must not talk
about? Instead, we should introduce the tools of scientific enquiry to
deal with the subject of religion -- asking questions without having any
boundaries, and observing results through objective testing rather than
with subjective and predetermined conclusions.

The June 26 terrorist attack in Tunisia, at the Imperial Marhaba Hotel,
has shown us Tunisians the failure of our educational system.
Seifeddine Rezgui, the attacker who murdered tourists with a Kalashnikov
in the tourist resort of Sousse, was a student in one of our schools; he
studied electronics in the city of Kairouan.
A lot of information seems even more important to know about him than if
he belonged to or supported the Islamic State, if he attended a training camp
in Libya, or if he had gone to Syria or Iraq to join militants fighting
there.
