  1. 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.
  2. Ah well, if he says so. All fine then.

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

    A moderate form, you seemed to imply something like Iran.
  6. No. All I was saying was that the use of the sharia is a missed opportunity to put the state on a secular base and to make a clear cut from the ancien regime (that used the sharia, too btw.)
  7. If the "ancient regime" is Gaddafi's, no they didn't, they used Gaddafi's own little interpretation of everything. The Jamahiriya.

    If you mean the old king, I'm sure they did.

    Well for starters there is absolutely no good non-political reason to be against a balanced budget ammendment.

    yeah yeah yeah
  12. Yeah seems to be very good informed, while the rest of you seem to be very naive.

    One thing that you have to understand is: when western countries deicide to act somewhere in the world, it's because they have some material interest in it and because they can make money out of it. Just forget that NATO or USA or UN fights for democracy and stuff like that.

    I already spoke about this - 18 years ago Srebrenica massacre happened, the biggest one since WWII. UN could stopped it, but didn't. They were too busy drinking and dancing (literally!) with murderers.

    Ok, Gadaffi was a mass murderer. Does anyone know how many lifes he took? I don't know. But I know that USA and NATO soldiers killed 110.000 CIVILIANS in Iraq since 2003 and nobody gives a shit. Nobody talks today that USA had massive debt towards Gadaffi and that now this debt is gone.
