Mustafa Abdul-Jalil, the chairman of the National Transitional Council and de fact president, had already declared that Libyan laws in future would have Sharia, the Islamic code, as its "basic source". But that formulation can be interpreted in many ways - it was also the basis of Egypt's largely secular constitution under President Hosni Mubarak, and remains so after his fall. Mr Abdul-Jalil went further, specifically lifting immediately, by decree, one law from Col. Gaddafi's era that he said was in conflict with Sharia - that banning polygamy. In a blow to those who hoped to see Libya's economy integrate further into the western world, he announced that in future bank regulations would ban the charging of interest, in line with Sharia. "Interest creates disease and hatred among people," he said. Gulf states like the United Arab Emirates, and other Muslim countries, have pioneered the development of Sharia-compliant banks which charge fees rather than interest for loans but they normally run alongside western-style banks. In the first instance, interest on low-value loans would be waived altogether, he said. Libya is already the most conservative state in north Africa, banning the sale of alcohol. Mr Abdul-Jalil's decision - made in advance of the introduction of any democratic process - will please the Islamists who have played a strong role in opposition to Col Gaddafi's rule and in the uprising but worry the many young liberal Libyans who, while usually observant Muslims, take their political cues from the West.

Anyone seeing a pattern here? It has long been apparent that Karzai, a putative American ally, has some sort of mental problem. He has been known to rant that he made a mistake in allying with the US against the Taliban, and should have backed the latter. Last year he told astonished visiting US congressmen that if the US pressured him too much, he would join the Taliban directly. It would sort of be as though Prime Minister David Cameron, an ally of the US, should occasionally threaten to join al-Qaeda. But then sometimes he praises the US and lambastes Pakistan for supporting Taliban..."
It would sort of be as though Prime Minister David Cameron, an ally of the US, should occasionally threaten to join al-Qaeda. Or Cameron and the USSA and NATO(I repeat myself;} allied with Al Qaeda against Libya....that would be crazy.... BUWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.....inhale.....BUWAHAHAHAHAHAHA....8D
Yes. The POS muslim in the white house is making the world safe for Jihad.
That you actually think this is a valid statement. That you don't care how racist it is. That it has no basis in fact. And still you believe it. Because the alt makes you quail...;} This is Planet Hell and we're ruled by psychopaths. That we've allied with Al Qaida in Libya, but it's the Black Muslims fault.....
It’s not just leaders who will be punished "You have won your revolution. And now, we will be a partner as you forge a future that provides dignity, freedom and opportunity." President Barack Obama, White House, October 20, 2011 The citizens of Gaddafi’s home town, Sirte, were said to be special beneficiaries of the ruler’s largesse. The Mediterranean port was prosperous and productive amidst the strangeness and strictures of his arbitrary rule. Were citizens supposed to object on moral grounds because their benefactor favored them? What risk would they have incurred by doing so, even if they wanted to turn away special favors? They had no choice but they got the message from NATO. It’s your turn to die.
Yeah, Libya's constitution looks an awful lot like the one Iraq implemented in 2005. That's the one the Heritage Foundation said that James Madison would have approved of.
Tagline for sale - inquire within
The gov't looks like it's origin. The trail of secession a precursor. This one looks bloody....and o so brief. Before this is over, Turkey will have reinstated it's sway over Libya.
Never heard the Heritage foundation say that. Never read the Iraqi constitution.
I'll tell you all this. If they try to implement Sharia here. I will put down my mouse and keyboard. Get a gun and join the resistance.
