    Islamists want new Libya based on Shariah law

    TRIPOLI, Libya (AP) — Dozens of Libyan imams and other religious leaders have demanded the country's constitution be based on Islamic Shariah law and have also urged the transitional government to get weapons out of the hands of former rebels.

    Mustafa Abdul-Jalil, chairman of the National Transitional Council, said last month that Shariah law would be the main source of legislation in the new Libya.

    But he stressed it would reflect a moderate Islam. Other leaders said the matter is still to be decided.

    The 250 Muslim leaders met in Tripoli on Monday for a conference organized by the Ministry of Islamic Affairs. They were seeking a common voice on pressing issues for Libya.

    They urged leaders to deal with tribal tensions and disarm the ex-rebels who toppled Moammar Gadhafi, calling them "mujahedeen."

      Hey, NATO - Morons, great job in creating a new Sharia-country in Africa! You are doing amazingly well, with replacing secular, modern leaders, with mullahs and terrorists. Just making sure that your "killing machine" will have something to do in the future, even if price is safety of your own citizens!!!....

        Yeah, Darkride, I "have no clue"...yeah, soldiers have all the clues! Like, they know what their commanders wants them to know. You are so uneducated and brainwashed, my friend. And you know so little about the world...
        Jesus, Obama in Libya, Bush in Iraq...what's the freaking difference!?...It's not about partisanship. They both serving special (military/corporate) interests.

      There is no moderate sharia law, and the ones wanting are not the ones that fought for freedom, they are taking it away from the people, their freedom. This war was all for nothing, just intended to get sharia law, it will be the last form of govt, around the world in the end of times, which is getting closer. None of the regular people want it! Just the authority wants it, so they can rule with an iron fist.

      The doctrine of “true” Islam (as mandated by their so-called prophet and founder of Islam) has a clear global goal: the supremacy of Islam EVERYWHERE in the world. It DEMANDS (through surrender & submission) theological, political, and cultural supremacy-Islamic Imperialism-over the entire world. There is absolutely NO room for political pluralism.
      • A Yahoo! User 5 mths ago
        You speak the truth! So good to know that people like you exist. Please carry on sharing your knowledge.

      Sharia law is bad news anywhere. This is the 21st century and this 7th century Islamic set of barbaric laws have no place in modern social dynamics.

      It is now the time for the separation of church and state, and Iran, Saudi Arabia, and many other Islamic-led states had slid down the slopes of their own socio-economic implosion upsetting international relations and contribute to the distabilisation of the area. An Islamic led Libya will spread the infection in the whole of the Middle east.

      Islam is a social cancer that will eventually kill the body called humanity. Islam is led by backward-looking, xenophobic, psychotic band of uneducated clerics who insist on imposing outdated brand of spirituality on their subjects and their Machiavillian approach to discipline includes dismemberment and death to those who chose to go sideways with the teaching of the Satanic book called the Koran.

      Keep religion out of politics. It has no business in running governments.

        sharia law is more efficient albeit more cruel...you see the catch 22? i'll take less criminals and having to spend less money on them and at the same time allowing potential criminals think twice about their future crime.
      • Red 5 mths ago
        T-2, by your logic we could make every crime a capital crime and drive the recidivist rate down to zero. Would that 'Draconian reform' get us anywhere we want to go? Move to Tripoli if you want that sort of thing.

      Who cares what these clowns do INSIDE their own country. I would hope the muslims who have settled in Europe would immigrate to these new FREE muslim countries and leave Europe to the Europeans.
    • willyb  •  6 mths ago
      Islamic Shariah law, even in moderation is still too much. There is left too much hate directed towards others of different beliefs for there to be any true democracy or freedoms.
    • Dr Hardy  •  Parsons, United States  •  5 mths ago
      Libya, please no mullahs and no imams to meddle in politics. Let the people decide!
    • Mr. Derp  •  6 mths ago
      How do the women of Libya feel about that? Oh right, they're not allowed to have opinions in Islam.
    • paladin  •  Vicksburg, United States  •  6 mths ago
      The Arab Spring has already been hijacked by the Islamists. Do not look for democracy, at least as we understand it in the West.
    • FredF  •  6 mths ago
      Well, does anybody remember the "Marine Hymn",,, From the Halls of Montezuma to the shores of Tripoli??? I think we may need to go in again!!!! Ya know we keep allowing these folks to immigrate here,,,,,, does anybody think there won't be any trouble here in 10-15 year?
    • Austin  •  Chicago, United States  •  5 mths ago

      There is no such thing as "based on" with skuzzies. They will only accept sharia law and thats it. And they will kill every one of us to prove it.

      I can't believe that all of the participating NATO members are allowing this. The only way they over threw the government was NATO air support. Now they have no input in how the government should be shaped. I don't believe we should completely take over their country, but they should not go back to the stone age either. Women's rights will go right down the drain. The brainwashing will start in all of the mosque, and hatred of the west will be preached. What a waste of taxpayer money, both European and American. I guess our muslim president is happy about this huh.
