France and westerns countries have supported BenAli for 23 years because they thought he is the guy who could stop Islamists. It was Khomeini’s ambition to export IRI. Why did they and the Tunisian army stop supporting him this time? All commentators agree that Tunisian people are no more seduced by an Islamic regime. It is the same in Algeria; there are several political issues but nobody is looking for an Islamic answer. This shows worldwide Islamic Ideology’s failure. Of course there are still some terrorists in Afghanistan, Pakistan or Mali who are funded through rape and drug traffic but they have no more a popular support. Even the Lebanese Hezbollah who accepts IRI money for political reasons, doesn’t apply Islamic laws!
This situation is similar to the communist state in the late seventies, when Carlos, Bader and others committed acts of terrorism and all Easterners tried to leave communism. We can say IRI killed the Islamist ideology in the world.
