    I've been more or less indiffrent to the happenings in the arabic world. Make no mistake. Mubarek, Gadaffi etc, were cruel sadistic hateful men, but its entirely possible whoever fills the power vacumn will be just as bad.
  2. Well, i don't think it's strict sharia laws that are coming. Still, in Tunisia the people have had their democratic say, it's their choice.

  9. At the same press conference, NTC leader Mustafa Abdel Jalil has also sought to dispel concerns that Libya will be adopting a hardline interpretation of Islamic law.

    "I would like to assure the international community that we as Libyans are Muslims but moderate Muslims," Abdel Jalil said.

    On Sunday, Abdel Jalil had declared that Islamic law would be the primary source of all future legislation in Libya.

    French foreign minister Alain Juppe has acknowledged NTC leader Mustafa Abdel Jalil's statements regarding concerns related to Libya adopted Islamic law.

    "Abdel Jalil said that moderate Islam is his reference."

    Speaking in the southwestern city of Bordeaux, where he is mayor, Juppe said that sharia is applied "in a great number of Arab countries including some that are countries which respect the fundamentals of democracy."

    "It's up to the Libyan people to choose their destiny in free elections," Juppe said, adding that "there is room all around the Mediterranean for an Islam that is reconcilable with our democratic values."

    "It is to this that the intercultural and interreligious dialogue that we must develop with Islam must contribute rather than barricading ourselves behind our Western beliefs," he said.

    I never said that all would be fine, but you basically said that the NTC had announced that they'd use sharia law.
