Tunisia Islamist Leader Does Not Support an Islamic State
Ghanouchi says his party, Ennahda, wants a democratic republic and does not search to install an Islamic republic. He said that the ideology of Ennadha has matured since the 1980s and Islam and democracy go toghether.
In contrast to his preachings from the 1970s in which he condemned the rise of secular ideas in his homeland and the advances in women's rights, Mr Ghannouchi on Sunday said that Sharia Islamic law now had "no place in Tunisia".
