Tripoli, Libya – 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.
shocking!!!!
He looks very much like Gaddafi in a bald version.
Shocking? Why? I can promise you all the world will miss gadahfi, better the devil you know then the one you don’t.
He sure looks happy with the deal.
Not shocked at all.Just wait for Iran to sneek it’s way in! Our government has to take their heads out of the sand and deal w/ them already before G-d forbid it’s too late.
Some parts of the world are ripe for the spread of freedom and democracy.
Libya just isn’t one of those places.
Boy, isn’t this Arab Spring great?
To #9 , Iran is shia, hamas sunni. And they the former are supporting the latter nicely..
Great, another Arab democracy of our dear Mr Abama
Just who and what did Obama and the powers at NATO think would be coming into power when Gaddafi was gone?
Maybe they should implement Sharia here. It would get rid of a whole lot of tzinus issues and feminist bs. Maybe it would be an improvement.
Shia also consider Sunni as kofrim but we better be able to get along with both and stop the Zionist nonsense of the frumme Tsioni hillbillies!!
It was reported that Gadaffi and his family had stashed away more than $200,000,000,000 (Two Hundred Billion Dollars) in stolen oil revenues; the latter figure is ten times the wealth of Mayor Michael Bloomberg. Yet, not one of the anti-semitic demonstrators on Wall Street (with signs which state “Look Up Jewish Billionaires on Google), will make a reference to all of that plundered wealth, nor will any of the anti-semitic and neo-Nazi sites do the same. In other words, when Arabs steal hundreds of billions of dollars, it is “Kosher”.
To Anon-#21- What difference does it make if there are only six demonstrators with those signs? It is still six too many. Would the news media be silent if the signs had the “N” word on them? Also, the mentioning of those signs did not only emanate from Fox News, but from other news sources (Jerusalem Post, Arutz Sheva, etc.). I remember a similar sign held by a Nazi at a demonstration in 1970, in NYC, which stated “Jew Javits aids traitors”. At the time, Sen. Jacob Javits was calling for a bombing halt over North Vietnam, as were others, the majority of them gentiles. Yet, the Nazis only chose to zero in on Javits. The signs cannot be ignored, whether they are held by one bigot, or by twenty. Incidentally, regarding Fox News, to the best of my knowledge, it was the only major cable tv station which referred to the Yonim Noraim. Not one of the network stations did the same. Fox also acknowledges other major Jewish holidays.
