Why aren’t we more prepared?

Abbey Petkar, managing director of Magenta Security Services reacts to the latest Brexit challenges.

“I find it strange just how quiet the security industry is on the subject of Brexit. Whether you voted to leave or remain, whether you believe in the PM’s plan or think she is wasting valuable time, Brexit is undoubtably the topic of the moment and will remain so for some time to come. Yet collectively the security industry remains relatively mute on its potential impact – which could be significant.

An Interfaith Glimmer of Hope?

President Beji Caid Essebsi of Tunisia has recently lifted the ban on Muslim Tunisian women who want to marry Christian or Jewish men without the need for those men to convert to Islam as a prerequisite. That is something that had reportedly once been introduced in Tunisia by the late president Bourguiba. The decision has caused a massive uproar which has reverberated throughout the region of the Middle East and North Africa, with countless Muslims- men and women- expressing their consternation at the thought of Muslim women marrying Christian or Jewish men. Many Muslims have used the mass media to try and dissuade any Muslim women who may be thus tempted from even entertaining such thoughts, arguing that what President Essebsi had advocated was a clear and blatant violation of Islam in general and of the Quran in particular.
