Jump To Comment: 2 1Despite the use of the word "Separately" ,the fact that both these stories were carried in the same article seems to indicate an attempt to conflate Muslims demonstrating against a brothel with the fascistic murder of a priest .
All adding up in the minds of the gullible to the march of Islamo- fascism
Extreme Islamists are on the march in Tunisia, they must be crushed if the revolution is to be saved.
Tunisian police have dispersed dozens of Islamists demanding the closure of a brothel in the capital Tunis. The police reportedly fired in the air to break up the crowd.
Separately, a Polish Catholic priest was found dead with his throat slit outside the capital.
And in another development, the country's interim cabinet approved amnesty for political prisoners held under the regime of ousted President Zine al-Abidine Ben Ali.
The Islamist protesters rallied outside the interior ministry in Tunis, following Friday prayers.
"There were several dozen riot police who shut off entry to the neighbourhood. They fired in the air to break up the crowd," eyewitness Mourad Barhoumi was quoted as saying by Reuters.
The rally is seen by some analysts as the latest sign of Islamists organising in Tunisia after the departure of Mr Ben Ali.
Later on Friday, a Polish priest was found dead with his throat slit near the capital. Officials said Marek Rybinski, 34, was discovered in the garage of a religious school in Manouba, where he worked.
Tunisia's interior ministry said it believed the killing was the work of a "group of fascist extremists", judging by the way it was carried out. In a statement, it said those responsible were trying to further destabilise the country.
