Libya's transitional leader declares liberation (Islamic Sharia law)
AP ^ | October 23,2011

Libya's transitional leader declared his country's liberation on Sunday, three days after the hated dictator Moammar Gadhafi was captured and killed.

He called on Libyans to show "patience, honesty and tolerance" and eschew hatred as they embark on rebuilding the country at the end of an 8-month civil war.

The transitional government leader Mustafa Abdul-Jalil set out a vision for the post-Gadhafi future with an Islamist tint, saying that Islamic Sharia law would be the "basic source" of legislation in the country and that existing laws that contradict the teachings of Islam would be nullified. In a gesture that showed his own piety, he urged Libyans not to express their joy by firing in the air, but rather to chant "Allahu Akbar," or God is Great. He then stepped aside and knelt to offer a brief prayer of thanks.

Can we say "massive fail" here? As bad as Kadaffy was and he should answer for his support of terrorism in the 1980's but overall, you got to hand it to hi, at least he kept those religious radicals down. Looking back, I don't even think Iraq was worth it either, like Kadaffy, at least Saddam kept those people down and was a buffer against Iraq. If I was a DJ, I'd cue the 1983 song from Men at Work, "It's a Mistake."

Soros, Hillary, obama..they knew this going in, same with Egypt. Seems the real agenda is to target Israel. Probably on Soros bucket list.

The West, once again, aids in the installation of a murderous death cult dedicated to the destruction of enlightened society. Bonus points for the US/NATO effort that releases thousands of missiles and other weapons to be used against the infidel and Israel, in particular.

“...existing laws that contradict the teachings of Islam would be nullified.”

Exactly what Islamic democracy is all about. The women of Libya should start regressing now.

Another Islamic theocracy is born.

Biblical prophecy unfolding in front of our eyes as nations align themselves against Israel.

No big surprise there. At least we knew what we were dealing with before, now it’s going to be worse. From the frying pan and into the fire.
