Religion
Islam (state religion, 99% Sunni), 1% Jews, Christians and others.


In China, there is no state religion. One might assume that security interests of such a state automatically trump ANY civil rights concerns given the totalitarian nature of a semi-communist state.

A more valid objection that may have actually been relevant would be that Tunisia is heavily influenced by French Civil Law. (Colonialism leftovers) The French banned it, it may be relevant to why a post-colonial French nation that is a Islamic State, still does something that seems intolerant toward some sects of muslim.
