Tunisia: New constitution 'will remove reference to Islam'

Sadok Belaid, the former dean of the Tunis law school who headed the drafting committee, had made it clear that the country's new constitution would have no reference to Islam. He stated that over 80% of Tunisians oppose Islamist politics and are against any kind of extremism. In a country with an overwhelming Muslim majority, this sounds as a piece of music to ears. The new constitution 'will remove reference to Islam' so as to prevent political 'extremism'. This shouldn't remain a standalone example. The time has come to celebrate this healthy trend toward humanity and recognize the voices and human rights of Exmuslims and integrate them into the mainstream.
