    Izmir is probably the most secular place with a nominally Muslim-majority population. Most girls, yea most of them, wear miniskirts, Hijab is quite rare and there are bars and pubs all around. Premarital sex is common as well.

    Do you think it'll be the same in say 20 years from now?

    I do not think that religion is going to be as influential in the future. This even applies to countries like Saudi Arabia.

    Also, this democracy thing argument is quite irrelevant. It is true that Tunisia has multi-party elections; but I'd prefer to live in a single-party state such as Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan rather than Tunisia, because the society is more secular and Islam is less practiced.

    Tunisia is probably the most secular nation amongst Arab countries, tho. They score the lowest when it comes to demand for Sharia law, and more women are uncovered there. But still, let's not forget that it was one of the largest ISIS militant-exporting countries. I support the secular people out there and their struggle for progress. It is a country with a great potential. So, if I had to choose out of an Arab country, it would be Tunisia.

    The Arab Spring was a CIA-designed project seeking to bring a politically Islamist group called Muslim Brotherhood to power in Middle Eastern countries. It backfired in Syria and then it started reciding from that point.

    The fact Tunisia was the only one that succeeded proves my point.
