The country also includes Christian, Jewish, and Baháʼí communities. While the Tunisian constitution declares Islam the state religion, it also provides for religious freedom,[1] but the law places restrictions on that freedom.[4]

Tunisia has a reputation for tolerance and openness to other cultures that have made the country's identity.[5][6]
