I met a Jew from Tunisia. He was proud of being Tunisian, when i asked him Sir why don't you move to Europe or Israel, in response he said "Europe ! am not mad, Israel oh am not completely mad". I love Tunisia..

Doesn't matter what your religion is, we are all humans with red blood flowing through our veins in the end.

My family is muslim, my friends are atheists, christians, jews etc

And i'm an agnostic, just look at our similarities instead of our differences guys!
