    This headline caught me by surprise. Isn't Tunisia a predominantly Muslim dominanated country? So I did some searching. This guy was the prime minister for awhile and set up what is called a “secular” coalition to run things. I can't find a party platform but it appears they want something similar to Turkey where the Islamic leaders don't have a say-so in government.

    And the people voted for this?

    There are two links. First from albawaba news @ http://www.albawaba.com/news/anti-islamist-beji-caid-essebsi-tunisia-election-poll-victory-635498 and the second from alakhbar English @ http://english.al-akhbar.com/conten...laims-victory-tunisian-presidential-elections
