Religious controversy in Tunisia: a clash of opposites and an identity struggle.

The Tunisian experience is one of the most controversial and debated intellectual and political in the Arab world, where modernization projects and conservative tendencies intersect in a public sphere characterized by dynamism and occasional clashes.

In this special episode, we host the Tunisian thinker and writer, Professor Dr. Fathi al-Qasimi, a distinguished professor at the Institute of Islamic Civilization at the University of Ez-Zitouna, Tunisia. He is interviewed by journalist Wissam Saleh, as we delve into his important book, “Religious Debate in Tunisia and the Clash of Opposites,” and unravel the behind-the-scenes intellectual and religious conflict that has shaped the features of the state and society. Share your aspirations and opinions with us:

How do you see the impact of the clash of intellectual opposing forces on building conscious societies? And can the Tunisian model of dialogue inspire other Arab countries in managing intellectual diversity?
