Tourist massacre in Tunesia

[Anomalocaris]

This would happen a lot more now in Egypt were it not for the military dictatorship.

But you can also argue that Tunesians have elected a functioning government and the country is also on it's way to economical recovery, which is what they fear most, since people aren't interested in what they're selling. It's instability on what they thrive.

I would not give Tunisia's elected government any chance at all against Islamization in the not too distant future were it not for the presence of a strongly authoritarian but non-Islamist Egypt blocking the rest of North Africa from the Middle East, and excerting some stabilizing influence in neighboring Libya.
