Tunisia: students glorify Hitler and ISIS

27/04/15

Celebrate the end of exams with giant banners for the glory of the Third Reich and the Islamic State. This is the meticulous work carried out by the students of some Tunisian high schools, for the end of their cycle of studies and the acquired "maturity".

What is now defined as "Islam-Nazism" is no longer an isolated phenomenon, but is slowly taking on concrete connotations.

For the "Dakhla" festival, which marks the end of the lessons (works of this kind can not have been made without the consent of the teachers and managers), the students will surely be proud of the teachers. In one of the high schools in Jendouba, in the north-east of the country, a gigantic banner was depicted representing Hitler greeting the German flag.

On the school's Facebook page, ten maxims attributed to the Fuhrer were also published, such as "Do not confront a man who has nothing to lose" or "If you love your enemy, you should feel ridiculous".

In another school in the area of ​​Jendouba, the black flag of the Islamic State has been exposed with the words "We are waiting for the power of God".

Obviously, they could not miss the targets like Steve Jobs and Bill Gates, mocked by a part of the future of Tunisia, because they are considered symbols of American imperialism. But the fund was touched in the high schools of Kairouan, the religious center of Tunisia, with banners that glorified the Islamic State. One of these shows a masked warrior armed with a scimitar with two prisoners in orange pajamas. One of them is on fire and could represent the Jordanian pilot burnt alive by the Daechs last February (and that sparked the wrath of Jordan).

The fascination for the Third Reich is not uncommon in Arab countries, which have not suffered the trauma of Nazism, but remain hostile to the State of Israel.

Tunisia, considered a model of democracy among the Arab countries, is rediscovering the cradle of Islam-Nazism.

The question - they ask from the Tunisian website Businessnews - is to understand if children glorify Hitler and ISIS out of ignorance or belief.

It is ignorance that pushes the boys into the arms of extremists of all kinds. After the attack on the Bardo Museum last March, the country is fighting against the jihadist cancer which, however, continues to win support in the Tunisian society.

Recall that among the ranks of Isis there are more than three thousand Tunisians who have married the Daech cause.
