The various bandit chiefs administer "justice" in the areas they control by personal whim. That is kritarchy. The difference between Anarchy and Kritarchy, Is the difference between having no law and not having any law. 168 posted on 10/24/02 12:49 PM Pacific by Roscoe

Balderdash. "Kritarchy" is nothing less than the Form of Government established by God in Levite Israel. Therefore, you cannot define "kritarchy" to suit your whim; God has already given us the Defining Example of a "Kritarchy".

Kritarchy is the sort of Government established by GOD in Levite Israel.

A society organized strictly in accordance with the Xeer is technically a “kritarchy,” as opposed to a democracy, theocracy, monarchy, oligarchy, or other form of political government. The term, a little-used nineteenth-century word compounded from the Greek, literally means “rule by judges.” Many stateless societies have been kritarchies, including the well-known example of the Old Testament Jews during the time of the Judges. The proposed free enclaves also would be kritarchies, since they would be founded solely on the principles of successful modern commerce and the traditional Xeer. ~~ Spencer Heath MacCallum

Just because you hate God and his Institutions, does not give you the right to vomit your hatred for God all over Free Republic and sing the praises of Islamofascists... (praises well-evidenced by the Pro-Islamofascist statements you have made on this thread):

• FACT: -- “Ganesha” posted a Link to the Somaliland Constitution. LINK

• FACT -- The Somaliland Constitution enslaved that benighted Country as yet another Repressive Shari'ah Islamic Tyranny.... and you, Roscoe, applaud this.LINK:
  Constitution of Somaliland

  Article 5: Religion
  1. Islam is the religion of the nation, and the promotion of any religion in the territory of Somaliland, other than Islam, is prohibited.
  2. The laws of the nation shall be grounded on, and shall not be valid if they are contrary to Islamic Sharia.
  3. The state shall promote religious tenets (religious affairs), and shall fulfil Sharia principles and discourage immoral acts and reprehensible behaviour.
  4. The calendar shall be the Islamic Calendar based on the hijra and the Gregorian Calendar.

• FACT: Upon learning of the establishment of a Repressive Shari’ah Islamic Tyranny in Somaliland, Roscoe gave his unreserved blessing to the establishment of yet another breeding ground of Islamofascism -- because at least they’re not Libertarians!! LINK
  (Islamic Shari’ah Tyranny established in Somaliland)
  ~~Something to be glad for. 134 posted on 10/24/02 12:08 AM Pacific by Roscoe -- YOUR words, Roscoe. YOUR direct response to “ganesha’s” #118.

• FACT: In your sociopathic hatred against Liberty and Americanism, Roscoe, you openly celebrate the establishment of more breeding grounds of Islamofascism, and spit on the blood of your murdered fellow-countrymen. And you have the gall to use Free Republic bandwidth to sing the praises of these Islamofascists. Some dare call it Treason.

Fifth Columnist Disruptors like "Roscoe" who openly celebrate the establishment of a Repressive Islamic Shari'ah Tyranny in Somaliland are a treasonous poison to Free Republic.

"Kritarchy" is nothing less than the Form of Government established by God in Levite Israel.

Your suggestion that Libertarians were seeking the imposition of Levitical law in Somalia is as absurd as the the first time you tried to sneak it by.

In their own words, Libertarians have defined what they mean by Kritarchy: Self-appointed judges unbound by written law who discover and invent the law as they go along.

Here's more on the nature of justice in the almost "ideal anarchy" of Somalia:

Some regions have established local courts that depend on the predominant local clan and associated factions for their authority. The judiciary in most regions relies on some combination of traditional and customary law, Shari'a law, the Penal Code of the pre-1991 Siad Barre Government, or some combination of the three. For example, in Bosasso and Afmadow, criminals are turned over to the families of their victims, which then exact blood compensation in keeping with local tradition. Under the system of customary justice, clans often hold entire opposing clans or sub-clans responsible for alleged violations by individuals.

Roscoe, you openly celebrate the establishment of more breeding grounds of Islamofascism

Actually, the Bush administration has put the Somali Islamist movement al-Ittihad al-Islamiyya (“Islamic Unity”) on its list of terrorist organizations.

How would you address that fact?
