CAIRO (AP) -- Libya's new leaders said they intend to make Islamic Sharia law the main source of legislation and will nullify any laws that contradict its tenets, giving the country a more Islamist character in the post-Moammar Gadhafi era.

Islamic law, or Sharia, is enshrined as the basis of the constitution in a number of Middle Eastern countries with Muslim majorities.

Just keep it over there, Muslims. We don’t want it.

Great, so does that mean if you run afoul of the law they shove a foreign object up your rectum and shoot you in the head.

Where’s the National Association of Bimbos complaining that this newest great Muslim leader just specifically reinstated polygamy, announcing that henceforth, men would be “entitled” to 4 wives apiece.

Gadaffi, like him or not, had suspended a lot of the flakier things in Islamic law (polygamy, no taking of interest, etc.) and actually had produced his own “modernized” version of the Koran.

But of course, that didn’t sit well with our own great Muslim leader.
