Libya's National Transitional Council: Sharia should be "main source" of legislation

This is what Obama enabled in Libya. "The Libyan people are attached to Islam, as a religion and legislation...And this should not be subject to a referendum." If you don't like it, so much the worse for you. "Sharia should be 'main' source of Libya legislation: NTC," by Imed Lamloum for AFP, July 5 (thanks to David):

TRIPOLI — Libya's outgoing National Transitional Council said on Thursday that Islamic law (sharia) should be the "main" source of legislation and that this should not be subject to a referendum.

"The Libyan people are attached to Islam, as a religion and legislation," NTC spokesman Saleh Darhoub said, reading from a statement.

"As such the National Transitional Council recommends that the (next) congress make sharia the main source of legislation.

"And this should not be subject to a referendum," he added, speaking to journalists in Tripoli.

He later explained that the decision was made to reassure elements of society fearful of being saddled with a constitution that does not take into account Islamic law, or sharia.

"We are not afraid of holding a referendum on sharia. But we wanted to reassure elements of society who are scared of the referendum," Darhoub said.

Libyans are to vote on Saturday for a General National Congress, which will be tasked with appointing a new government and a constituent authority.

The constitution needs to be approved in a national referendum, under a transition framework laid out by the NTC, which took power when long-time leader Moamer Kadhafi was slain last year.

Some of the key issues to be determined by the constitution are the form of governance, the weight of Islam in state and society, the role of women and the rights of minorities....

Hundreds of armed men calling for Islamic law and rejecting democracy as "Western" staged a demonstration last month in the eastern city of Benghazi, which held the NTC's war-time headquarters.

Well-armed Islamist groups in the east, such as the Partisans of Sharia, oppose the vote, saying that the conservative Muslim country needs no constitution other than the Koran....

"... scared of the referendum ..."

like, there may be many who would protest the imposition of SHARIA without a vote?

like, there may be many who question the wisdom of the Allah God (as imagined) imposing these unglorious laws through the exemplar of government: Mohammad (contrived)?

MuBro's in Egypt also want Sharia


The shield of Muslims, the khilafah (caliphate) is re-comming (to through out the corrupt Muslim leaders)

To fight Islam we need to get rid off OBAMA first. With him in office we have no chance of having a strategy to defend ourselves from this EVIL=ISLAM.

You think Obama is bad? John McCain, Obama's opponent in the 2008 election, criticized Obama for not doing enough to intervene in the Libyan civil disturbance.

If slaves wish to remain enslaved, what can we do?

I can't for these oil countries to run out of oil. Once they run out they can truly live as 7th century barbarians, with their 7th century barbaric islam and sharia laws.

That's what! I wish either one of 2 things:

  • OIC countries, like KSA, Libya, Iran, Iraq, Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Indonesia, et al all run out of oil, so that the 'strategic' importance of all Muslim countries is rendered irrelevant
  • A new competitive energy alternative not available in dar ul Islam is found, making oil quickly outdated, just like horses were outdated once cars were out. Something like Thorium - available in US, Australia, India and Brazil. Or solar power becoming viable enough to power transportation under all conditions. Or a hybrid combo of these
Once that happens, nobody will care about these savages, and they can get back to doing what they like, w/ no interference from either the West, nor Russia, China, or anyone else.

Libya's National Transitional Council: Sharia should be "main source" of legislation
........................................

Is anyone here surprised? No, I didn't think so...

More:

This is what Obama enabled in Libya.
........................................

The West enabling its own destruction...

More:

"The Libyan people are attached to Islam, as a religion and legislation...And this should not be subject to a referendum."
........................................

And if you don't like, then you are an "enemy of Islam"-and we all know that *that* never goes well for the accused...

More:

He later explained that the decision was made to reassure elements of society fearful of being saddled with a constitution that does not take into account Islamic law, or sharia.
........................................

Now *that's* a convoluted sentence. Wouldn't want to disappoint the poor Jihadists...

More:

"We are not afraid of holding a referendum on sharia. But we wanted to reassure elements of society who are scared of the referendum," Darhoub said.
........................................

In other words, the poor delicate Jihadists are concerned that there may still be a few remnants of democratic interest remaining in the country, which could blunt the force of full Shari'ah...
