Islamic Right is Political Left

Islamic Right is Political Left      

      

In Islam the right hand is good for all that is good, clean and correct. The right hand is the one that holds the Kuran on Judgment Day. While the left hand is no good.

In politics there's no reason why right politics (Ennahdha is right-winger; el-tahrir is on the right etc.) matches with right in Islam. Symetrically, there's no reason why left politics in a Muslim society does not even suspect it can rely on islam to fuel its action.

Conclusion:

- The Tunisian Francophone left is almost sunk just because it thinks within estranging mindsets. What they need to do for relief and survival is: Unlearn and relearn their rapport to Islam. 

- Religion -driven parties had better go leftwards if they wish to have a place in the electorate's hearts.

- Right wingers other than Ennahdha ought to take after religion- fuelled parties, as they now have good reason to do it.
