I am Jomaa Ben-Hassine. As recipient of the “Ibn Khaldun Award”, and based on what I have come to know about the organization that offers this award and how it conducts its business, I have come to the conclusion that this award is hollow and devoid of the goals it claims to represent. Therefore, I have decided to give this award back to its source. I am hereby no longer the recipient of the 2009 edition of the Ibn Khaldun Award. Thank you Tunisian Community Center but you can take your award back. To the rest of the Tunisian American community, I say that this organization does not represent me or my family of Tunisian Americans. I am confident that if you come to realize the level of despotism, nepotism, corruption and ignorance that reigns within its inner circles, you will also choose not to have any relationship with this organization.
