| Ennahda's crackdown could be smarter, integrating moderates and reserving tough stuff for those who back domestic terror
Critics of Tunisia's moderate Islamist government, led by the Ennahda party, have in the past chided it for being a soft touch with followers of the ultra-conservative Salafi movement, treating them like wide-eyed, wayward children with a well-intentioned but simplistic view of religion. But times have changed.
As a journalist based in Tunisia, I have watched relations between Salafists and Ennahda spectacularly crumple in recent weeks. This weekend was a turning point. Police clashed with the Salafi group Ansar al-Sharia in the central city of Kairouan and the Tunis suburb of Ettadhamen. The Salafists were trying to hold an annual conference without legal permission.
The damage was severe: one protester shot dead and 15 police injured. Tunisia's prime minister, Ali Larayedh, has, for the first time, linked Ansar al-Sharia to terrorism. There have now been ... |

CNN-IBN: World |
 Bangladesh on Sunday slapped a ban on political rallies for a month to maintain law and order in the wake of deadly protests by Islamists that left at least 28 people dead earlier in May 2013. "Some political parties have caused a law and order problem in the name of holding their programmes. Hence, no one would be allowed to hold any kind of rally for the next one month," Home Minister Mahiuddin Khan Alamgir said. |

|
18.5.2013 |
Guardian: Comment is Free |
| Republicans could waste the White House's 'worst weeks ever' to a lack of strategy and rogue members of their own party
There's something already dangerously smug about the way that the Republican Party – and the media, for that matter – have described the past two weeks as the White House's "worst weeks ever". There have been some exceedingly bad weeks over the past five years, including the one in April that began with the Boston Marathon bombings and ended with an earthquake in Tokyo. One can plausibly assume that all this schadenfreude about the Obama administration, done in its optics-y, win-the-news-cycle way, seems to be the only way that our political press is capable of talking about scandals.
But just because the White House has had a difficult time managing this waterfall of negative stories doesn't mean that the Republicans on the Hill won't drown in the torrent. The GOP is the only party, after all, that impeached a sitting president yet still came out more unpopular than the ... |
