Tunisia's Islamist party slams anti-Semitic chants

The head of Tunisia's moderate Islamic party condemned Monday anti-Semitic slogans chanted by a handful of ultraconservative Muslims at the arrival of a top Hamas official. Rachid Ghannouchi also reiterated the policy of his party, which heads the country's new government, that Tunisia's Jews are "full citizens with equal rights and duties." 

"Ennahda condemns these slogans which do not represent Islam's spirit or teachings, and considers those who raised them as a marginal group," Ghannouchi said in a statement. (AP)
