Tunisian Academia ponders Salafism

There has been growing interest among Tunisian research centers in the study of Salafi movements in the country and the region. Two weeks ago the Ministry of Interior announced that around 400 Salafi Tunisians had been killed in Syria and a similar number had returned from thereto Tunisa. In late May the Eljahedh Forum, a think tank, organised a conference on Salafism: Semantic Confusion and the Risky Consequences. Last week it was the turn of the Tunisian Institute for Strategic Studies to organise another conference on Jihadi Salafism in Tunisia and the Maghreb.
