Verder vraag ik me toch af of dit zich werkelijk in Tunesie afspeelde.
Hopelijk meer info de komende dagen.
Islamic religious education is mandatory in public schools, but the religious curriculum for secondary school students also includes the history of Judaism and Christianity.
BRON: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islam_in_Tunisia
Islam is by far the dominant religion in Tunisia; 99% of Tunisians are Muslim. Minority religions include Christianity (25,000 adherents), Judaism (1,500 adherents), and the Bahá'�* Faith (200 adherents). The Constitution of Tunisia provides for freedom of religion unless it disturbs the public order.

Ter vergelijking :
Christianity
Christianity is mainly found in Damascus and Aleppo, but also with a major community around Hassake. Christians are more urbanized than Muslims. They generally pursue better education, have higher income and are more active in politics.
In 1920, about 30% of the population were Christians, today the count for less than 10%. Emigration and lower birth rate than among Muslims is the background for this.
One of eleven Syrians are Christians, and the high number of different orientations here tell clearly about the complexities of Syrian history. Among the churches found in Syria are Greek Orthodox, Syrian Orthodox, Armenian Orthodox Church, Roman Catholic (which is organized between a number of sub-churches: Armenian, Chaldean, Latin, Maronite, Melkite and Syrian), Anglican and Protestant. The largest of these are the Syrian Orthodox and the Roman Catholic.
There is a strong sense of community between the Christian groups, brought together from generations facing hardship from the country's Muslim majority.
Syria has a strong monastic tradition.
