Five people were killed, and dozens more were injured when a national guardsman attacked a synagogue on the Mediterranean island of Djerba during a yearly Jewish pilgrimage in Tunisia on May 9th, dealing a severe blow to its thriving tourism industry and the vibrant Jewish community.
Amina Tyler, one of Tunisia's most outspoken activists who started a trend of “topless jihad” has been in the news lately because of her topless protests along with the radical feminist group Femen. Femen has a reputation for staging nude protests, moves which draws mixed reactions from the largely Islamic population. The string of nude protests which are largely believed to have stemmed from the topless protests staged by Tyler could possibly lead to charges being filed against her.
