For the Muslim Brotherhood, the caliphate is the goal, gradualism is the tactic, and democracy currently happens to be the path of least resistance to power. "Libya's Muslim Brotherhood sets up political party," by Ali Shuaib for Reuters, March 2:
TRIPOLI (Reuters) - Libya's Muslim Brotherhood teamed up with other Islamists on Friday to establish a new political party that is set to be a leading player in the country's first elections since the overthrow of Muammar Gaddafi in a NATO-backed uprising.Islamist and secular parties will vie in June elections for seats in a national assembly that will draft a new constitution for the North African country.
Political analysts say Libya's Muslim Brotherhood is likely to emerge as the most organized political force and a leading player in the oil-exporting country where Islamists, like all dissidents, were harshly suppressed for 42 years.
Post-uprising elections have already brought Islamists into government in Tunisia, Egypt and Morocco since October and they are likely to perform well in Libya, a socially conservative country where alcohol was already banned before the revolution.
Lamine Belhadj, who heads the committee that is working to set up the new party, told Reuters at a conference on Friday it would bring together Islamists of different stripes."This is the founding conference of a national, civil party with an Islamic frame of reference. It is being established by the Muslim Brotherhood and many independents who are not affiliated with any Islamic organizations," he said.
Belhadj, a senior official in the National Transitional Council (NTC) and a member of the commission responsible for organizing the elections, said the new party had yet to be named and its leaders had not been chosen as consultations were under way between the Brotherhood and other groups.
Abdullah Shamia, an economics professor and member of the Brotherhood since its days as an underground organization, said the new party would be independent. The Muslim
Brotherhood, a broader religious, charitable and social movement, would continue its work separately from the political party.The rise of Islamist parties at the ballot box has raised concerns among more secular Arabs that new governments will impose more religious restrictions on society or seek to make post-uprising constitutions comply with Islamic law, or sharia.
Libya's NTC has already indicated that the country will be run in accordance with sharia, though the exact place of sharia in the legal system will only be settled once a new constitution is written after elections....
In Libya this was shown to come, Libya must hear the gospel and the rest of the Arab world. Here is an article and about the two books the Bible and the Quran. Look at this topic in which truth will always stand,

So we have the Shia crescent running from Teheran to Beirut, and now we can have the Muslim Brotherhood crescent running from Tripoli through Cairo and trying to land in Damascus. Interesting clash of the crescents this will be.
So essentially, North Africa is already everything short of a Caliphate, and West Asia is on the way there. Hopefully a full blown civil war in Syria will help them determine which is the true Islam.

Just penned this tasty little joke. Feel free to pass it on:
>>>
A Christian, a Jew, and a Muslim walk into a bar.
The Christian steps up to the bar and says, hey Mack, I'll have a cold beer and a pork sandwich.
The Jew steps up to the bar and says, hey Mack, I'll have a glass of Manischewitz and a bowl of matzo ball soup.
The Muslim steps up to the bar and says, hey Mack, I'll take your sister your wife and your mother as booty and use them as sex slaves that my "right hand possesses" just like the Qur'an gives me permission to do...

This scholarly commentary makes plain what is going on. Those women whom "thy right hand possess" are slaves who have no human rights and must submit sexually to anyone who "owns" them. Such actions toward female prisoners of war is, today, considered a war crime under the Geneva Convention.
About Slave girls and what the right hand possesses:
Qur'an 033.052
It is not lawful for you (to marry other) women after this, nor to change them for other wives even though their beauty attracts you, except those (captives or slaves) whom your right hand possesses. And Allah is Ever a Watcher over all things.
070.030
Except with their wives and the (captives) whom their right hands possess,- for (then) they are not to be blamed,
023.006
Except with those joined to them in the marriage bond, or (the captives) whom their right hands possess,- for (in their case) they are free from blame,
004.024
Also (prohibited are) women already married, except those whom your right hands possess: Thus hath Allah ordained (Prohibitions) against you: Except for these, all others are lawful, provided ye seek (them in marriage) with gifts from your property,- desiring chastity, not lust, seeing that ye derive benefit from them, give them their dowers (at least) as prescribed; but if, after a dower is prescribed, agree Mutually (to vary it), there is no blame on you, and Allah is All-knowing, All-wise.
As there exist many misunderstandings in the minds of people concerning the slave-girls taken as prisoners of war, the following should be carefully studied:
(1) It is not lawful for a soldier to have conjugal relations with a prisoner of war as soon as she falls into his hands. The Islamic Law requires that all such women should be handed over to the government, which has the right to set them free or to exchange them with the Muslim prisoners in the hands of the enemy or distribute them among the soldiers. It is lawful for a soldier to cohabit only with that woman who has been formally given to him by the Islamic government.
(2) Even then, he shall have to wait for one monthly course before he can cohabit with her in order to ensure whether she is pregnant or not; otherwise it shall be unlawful to cohabit with her before delivery.
(3) It does not matter whether the female prisoner of war belongs to the People of the Book or not. Whatever her religion, she becomes lawful for the man to whom she has been given.
(4) None but the one whom the slave-girl is given has the right to “touch her”. The offspring of such a woman from his seed shall be his lawful children and shall have the same legal rights as are given by the Divine Law to children from one’s loins. After the birth of a child she cannot be sold as a slave-girl and shall automatically become free after her master’s death.
(5) If the master marries his slave-girl with another man, he forfeits his conjugal rights over her, but retains other rights such as service from her.
(6) The maximum limit of four has not been prescribed for slave-girls as in the case of wives for the simple reason that the number of female prisoners of war is unpredictable. The lack of limit does by no means provide a license for the well-to-do people to buy any number of slave-girls for licentious purposes.
(7) The proprietary rights over a slave male or female as given to a person by the government are transferable like all other legal proprietary rights.
(8) The handing over of the proprietary rights over a slave-girl to a man formally by the government makes her as much lawful for him as the giving of a hand of a free woman to a man by her parents or guardian by means of nikah (marriage ceremony). Therefore there is no reason why a man who does not hold marriage in detestation should hold sexual intercourse with a slave-girl in detestation.
(9) When once the government hands over the female prisoner of war to someone, it has no right whatever to take her back from him, just as the parent or guardian has no right after the woman is handed over to a man through nikah.
(10) It should also be noted well that if a military commander temporarily distributes female prisoners of war among the soldiers for sexual purposes, or permits them to have sexual relations for the time being, such an act shall be unlawful and there is absolutely no difference between this and fornication, and fornication is a crime according to the Islamic code.”

Islam is evil in part and on the whole. We ex-Muslims know that Islam is the exact opposite of what it claims to be.

Talking of Libya has everyone seen the following:

Has this been mentioned yet on Jihad Watch?
It's not called 'Islam', by any chance, is it?
Libya has been in termoil for decades.
"Post-uprising elections have already brought Islamists into government in Tunisia, Egypt and Morocco since October and they are likely to perform well in Libya, a socially conservative country where alcohol was already banned before the revolution".
The Muslim Brotherhood is the leader in the terroristic Jihad world wide. The day will come when Muammar Gaddafi isn't going to look so bad after all. Mostly because Gaddasi's rule was contained within Libya. The Brothhood is not at all contained.
It may seem better now, but wait until the Brotherhood gets orginized then see what happens. The Brotherhood is the commander, rule, and motivation within the world of Islam. It is much better orginized than any other force world wide. What Gaddafi was to Libya, the Brotherhood is to the world.
The White House and U.S. legislators can stop cheering and clapping because this isn't a step in the right civil direction. Once again the United States has been wrong in the support of a new leadership.
It's because the United States hasn't a clue about the Brotherhood, jihad, Sharia Law, the ideology of Islam, the motivation, commitment, intent, the Qu'ran, Hadith, the history of Islam, or its funding and stealth jihadist mind set.
Until the United States learns those things it will never be effective regarding terrorisum or Islam.
What!? Who would've guessed that the democratic state of Libya would turn jihadist like all the other states that had participated in the "Arab Spring"!?
It seems that the Muslim Brotherhood are a bunch of Islamophobes.
