    The maker of this video chose to dress and act very casually and in fact following trends in alternative fashion. We cannot not judge by established labels - if seen on the street, we would label him as of the more left, or libertarian side on the spectrum. This automatically sends the message to the viewer. Furthermore, the prologue of dangers of Islamist ideology is only two sentences or so, and is cut rapidly by "cool", affirmative and badass music when the country of Tunisia is mentioned. He then returns to "problematic" islamic countries, presenting political situation in some of them as axioms - as if every person who watches this video would agree if something is "bad" or "good". This is subliminally forcing the judgement into the viewer's head, making a mere political stance something that is 0 or 1 in value :)
    Although he does say "Tunisia's new DICTATOR", this little fact just passes us by.
    Later he is openly comparing Tunisia with other islamic countries as a positive example, although the facts provided would still be considered behindhand to non-islamic cultures (who he himself belongs to, and for whom the video is intended for).
    No need to go further with the video...it's harmful and not objective!
