    It is in fact a beautiful country, with a relaxed lifestyle. If you are working in Tunisia and doing well for yourself and your family, there are less things to worry about in general if you compare it to working in a western country. I'm currently working in Amsterdam and because of the fast paced lifestye here it seems that we're always busy. I visit Tunisia twice a year ever since i was a kid. love it ! And people dont pay too much attention to this webster kid, trying to scare one another. The American family (one of the few foreigners) in tunisia is hopefully a start for more people to come. As Mr Jewett said: ''They always say welcome'', and we WILL WELCOME EVERYBODY from around the globe no matter what country or religion. Jewetts, have a wonderful time

      Irish Wastelands, alright look here, cowboy.. if what's in your video there is accurate.. then how come my people that I know from there and who have visited there, came back and said they had a good time and never done ran into any trouble? Let me guess.. is it the same reason that I can come Ireland and have a pint of beer..or go to NORTH Ireland and have an Irish car bomb? No one done said it don't happen at all.. but the way you make sound like is that it happens daily. Hell son.. you wouldn't last a day in Chicago. More people get killed by bullets there in a month than other people do in Tunesia in a year. Go head. Stay in Ireland. Stay in your bubble.

    2-4: Tunisia is the key to bring water to Sahara and to Africa. A short canal from the Mediterranean Sea to Chott el Jerid will assure year-round water behind the mountain barrier. The water in Chott el Jerid is expected to evaporate and be replenished by the ocean water. The evaporated water will redeposit itself elsewhere in Sahara. The more surface area of water which can be placed inside Sahara; the more there is to evaporate.

    3-4: Further canal efforts from Chott el Jerid south and west into Algeria’s below-sea-level areas and also east across Libya to Egypt’s Qattara Depression will allow more surface area of water and thus more moisture to be deposited into the atmosphere. The water will return as clean fresh water rain which will encourage plant growth. The return of plants will be from the south in the opposite direct of its departure. Lake Chad will refill.

    1-4: The Sahara Desert is dry because it has a water deficit (more water leaves than arrives). The Sahara Desert is surrounded by water (Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean Sea) but the water does not hydrate the landmass. Water is kept out of Sahara by mountains along oceanfront. The minuscule amount of moisture eventually exits the Sahara Desert to the south and east as it is blown on the wind. Because of the preceding; Sahara is expanding to the south as evidenced by the now dry Lake Chad.

    4-4: The concept of a canal system into the Sahara from the Mediterranean Sea is not new. A hundred years ago the French spent many francs researching this idea. For some dramatized discussion; read: Invasion of the Sea (French: L'Invasion de la mer) by: Jules Gabriel Verne’s book. To accomplish this will: Locally; bring water to many and along with water comes hope; Globally; allowing the water into Sahara will reduce the sea level a bit and a re-hydrated Sahara will reduce global warming.

      *I am a young woman that worked for a Muslim-owned company for nearly
      two years. I was raised to be a loving person and I have always been
      very accepting of differences. I had a very positive opinion of
      Muslims until I worked with them and was befriended by them outside of
      work.
      Two years ago, I got a job working for
      a Muslim family-owned company. This family owns many stores in my
      state and needed a new office assistant to handle the constant flow of
      paperwork into their main office. One of my family members has
      worked for the Muslims for over a decade and said they were decent people, so I
      felt comfortable accepting the job.
      For the first several months things
      seemed pretty great. My boss and manager were really nice to
      me. My coworkers were super friendly and began inviting me out for
      lunch. My boss and other men in the office would pray loudly several
      times a day in the office, but I just shrugged it off and said to myself, “it
      is just their religion, it should not bother me”.
      My female coworkers eventually began
      praying around me too, like right next to me. These women would
      literally put their pray rugs behind me and in the corner next to my desk to
      pray. I thought this was strange, but I stupidly ignored this
      strange behavior.
      Eventually, towards the middle of my
      first year, one of my coworkers began telling me about Islam. I did
      not ask her about her religion, but she just started telling me about it during
      a lunch break. She began inviting me to special picnics with all
      Muslim women. These women were either wearing hijabs or niqabs so it
      was kind of strange to me, but I just told myself that I was being prejudice
      and I should not judge them.
      It is really embarrassing to me now,
      but at the time, I really wanted to make new friends and most of the women were
      super nice to me, so I tolerated their strange dress code. I should
      also add that I was completely ignorant about Islam, so I initially believed
      everything the Muslims told me about their “great religion”. They
      told me that Islam is a “religion of peace” and Muhammed gave women rights and
      freedom. I now know that these are all lies and that these women
      were probably practicing taqiyya.
      These women shared food with me, they
      gave me gifts like fancy scarves and a beautifully embroidered blue silk
      abaya. They began inviting me to more and more events, I was even
      invited to their children’s Islamic school events. I thought it was
      great because I had “friends” and free stuff, but I was completely ignorant
      about any ill intentions that they had at the time.
      The women, especially my main coworker
      who invited me to these events, sat me down one day and asked me to convert to
      Islam. I told her I would think about it, but I needed to learn more
      about the religion before making such a major decision. She happily
      supplied me with a Qur’an and other Islamic texts so I could
      study. She also bombarded my email with Islamic clerics giving
      lectures and sermons.
      I love learning, so I began reading the
      Qur’an and watching the videos, and I was completely horrified! I
      read about killing of non-believers or “infidels”. I read verses
      that gave instructions on how a man should beat his wife and could rape female
      war captives. I read so many horrible things that I was just shocked
      and totally confused.
      I thought perhaps Muslims don’t take
      these evil verses literally, but when I went on Muslim forums and asked them to
      explain these things to me, they just attempted to justify horrible things like
      rape, pedophilia, wife beating, and murdering non-believers.
      After a few months of researching
      Islam, I confronted my coworker who had been the main one attempting to convert
      me. She tried to deflect and derail the conversation many times, but
      eventually she admitted that all of those horrible negative stereotypes about Islam
      being a violent religion are indeed true.
      She and her sisters (her sisters jumped
      into this private conversation), told me that they believed it is okay for a
      man to beat his wife, that terrorists activities were justifiable, and killing
      gay people and adulterers is permissible under Sharia Law. They even said
      that, “9/11 was a good thing, because now everyone knows about Islam.”
      They tried to justify the evil by
      telling me that it is okay because it is “Allah’s law” and Muhammed was a
      prophet so everything about Islam is true! I responded by telling
      her and her sisters that Islam is evil and “Allah is a bastard, he is not
      God”. They literally looked like they wanted to kill me after I said
      that.
      This whole conversation happened
      outside of work on the weekend, but when I came to work Monday morning, nearly
      everyone in the office looked at me with absolute hatred. They
      preceded to make me miserable every time they saw me, they were so
      rude. My boss would find excuses to yell at me and once when I asked
      my coworker for a report she was supposed to give me, she literally threw it at
      me, I was shocked by their aggressive behavior.
      The whole situation was a nightmare, so
      I quit soon after that event. I did not report these events because
      my family member still works for the company and I am afraid the owners could
      take out their anger on my relative.
      I just wanted to share my story because
      I have had firsthand experience with Muslims. These people are
      dangerous, they all wanted Sharia Law and for Islam to become a dominant
      religion worldwide, they talked about this in their groups because they thought
      I was becoming one of them.
      Many of the Muslims I knew practice
      polygamy and have very large families, they are becoming a dominant group
      in my hometown even though they have only been here for a few
      years. I live in a relatively small American town, and we now have
      an Islamic center and there is talk of a mosque being built soon.
      I used to believe that Islam was just
      like other religions and that Muslims were just regular people, but the truth
      is many of the evil Muslims shown on television, are reflections of the Muslims
      I have known in my personal life. People need to understand that
      Islam is dangerous and mass immigration of Muslims needs to end. People
      need to spread the truth about Islam*

    *I am a young woman that worked for a Muslim-owned company for nearly two years. I was raised to be a loving person and I have always been very accepting of differences. I had a very positive opinion of Muslims until I worked with them and was befriended by them outside of work.
    Two years ago, I got a job working for a Muslim family-owned company. This family owns many stores in my state and needed a new office assistant to handle the constant flow of paperwork into their main office. One of my family members has worked for the Muslims for over a decade and said they were decent people, so I felt comfortable accepting the job.
    For the first several months things seemed pretty great. My boss and manager were really nice to me. My coworkers were super friendly and began inviting me out for lunch. My boss and other men in the office would pray loudly several times a day in the office, but I just shrugged it off and said to myself, “it is just their religion, it should not bother me”.
    My female coworkers eventually began praying around me too, like right next to me. These women would literally put their pray rugs behind me and in the corner next to my desk to pray. I thought this was strange, but I stupidly ignored this strange behavior.
    Eventually, towards the middle of my first year, one of my coworkers began telling me about Islam. I did not ask her about her religion, but she just started telling me about it during a lunch break. She began inviting me to special picnics with all Muslim women. These women were either wearing hijabs or niqabs so it was kind of strange to me, but I just told myself that I was being prejudice and I should not judge them.
    It is really embarrassing to me now, but at the time, I really wanted to make new friends and most of the women were super nice to me, so I tolerated their strange dress code. I should also add that I was completely ignorant about Islam, so I initially believed everything the Muslims told me about their “great religion”. They told me that Islam is a “religion of peace” and Muhammed gave women rights and freedom. I now know that these are all lies and that these women were probably practicing taqiyya.
    These women shared food with me, they gave me gifts like fancy scarves and a beautifully embroidered blue silk abaya. They began inviting me to more and more events, I was even invited to their children’s Islamic school events. I thought it was great because I had “friends” and free stuff, but I was completely ignorant about any ill intentions that they had at the time.
    The women, especially my main coworker who invited me to these events, sat me down one day and asked me to convert to Islam. I told her I would think about it, but I needed to learn more about the religion before making such a major decision. She happily supplied me with a Qur’an and other Islamic texts so I could study. She also bombarded my email with Islamic clerics giving lectures and sermons.
    I love learning, so I began reading the Qur’an and watching the videos, and I was completely horrified! I read about killing of non-believers or “infidels”. I read verses that gave instructions on how a man should beat his wife and could rape female war captives. I read so many horrible things that I was just shocked and totally confused.
    I thought perhaps Muslims don’t take these evil verses literally, but when I went on Muslim forums and asked them to explain these things to me, they just attempted to justify horrible things like rape, pedophilia, wife beating, and murdering non-believers.
    After a few months of researching Islam, I confronted my coworker who had been the main one attempting to convert me. She tried to deflect and derail the conversation many times, but eventually she admitted that all of those horrible negative stereotypes about Islam being a violent religion are indeed true.
    She and her sisters (her sisters jumped into this private conversation), told me that they believed it is okay for a man to beat his wife, that terrorists activities were justifiable, and killing gay people and adulterers is permissible under Sharia Law. They even said that, “9/11 was a good thing, because now everyone knows about Islam.”
    They tried to justify the evil by telling me that it is okay because it is “Allah’s law” and Muhammed was a prophet so everything about Islam is true! I responded by telling her and her sisters that Islam is evil and “Allah is a bastard, he is not God”. They literally looked like they wanted to kill me after I said that.
    This whole conversation happened outside of work on the weekend, but when I came to work Monday morning, nearly everyone in the office looked at me with absolute hatred. They preceded to make me miserable every time they saw me, they were so rude. My boss would find excuses to yell at me and once when I asked my coworker for a report she was supposed to give me, she literally threw it at me, I was shocked by their aggressive behavior.
    The whole situation was a nightmare, so I quit soon after that event. I did not report these events because my family member still works for the company and I am afraid the owners could take out their anger on my relative.
    I just wanted to share my story because I have had firsthand experience with Muslims. These people are dangerous, they all wanted Sharia Law and for Islam to become a dominant religion worldwide, they talked about this in their groups because they thought I was becoming one of them.
    Many of the Muslims I knew practice polygamy and have very large families, they are becoming a dominant group in my hometown even though they have only been here for a few years. I live in a relatively small American town, and we now have an Islamic center and there is talk of a mosque being built soon.
    I used to believe that Islam was just like other religions and that Muslims were just regular people, but the truth is many of the evil Muslims shown on television, are reflections of the Muslims I have known in my personal life. People need to understand that Islam is dangerous and mass immigration of Muslims needs to end. People need to spread the truth about Islam*

      first of all .i feel sorry for what happened to you. i am sure that was a horrible experience.
      I am muslim and i am proud to be a muslim and i can tell u that .. if that really happened to u . it's not real islam :) islam is a religion of peace . prophet mouhamed says that we should be nice to all people and killing is forbidden. prophet mouhamed never killed anyone. islam is peace and love .i don't believe that muslims would do this kind of thing to someone. those who do that do not represent our peaceful religion. killing is forbidden in our religion and women should be respected. prophet mouhamed always loved his wives and respected them. and also we do not hate those who are not muslims . we'd like to make people become muslims but we do not force them . we believe islam is right and we love our religion so we'd like other people to become muslims because we believe it's the right thing. but we never force anyone, people are free to believe in whatever they want. only god can judge and only god knows what's right, islam is a religion of peace. so rapists, terrorists, murderers and those who beat their wife ,etc... do not represent islam. islam is not evil. ISLAM IS A RELIGION OF PEACE. i hope you understand. :) (and sorry my english is bad)

      Really? Look up the word 'Delusional'', it's time for a wake-up call, because every evil perpetrated in the world today is Islamic related. Open your eyes.
