Surprise!… Libya to Introduce Radical Islamic Law
Posted by Jim Hoft on Sunday, October 23, 2011, 7:50 PM
The chairman of the National Transitional Council aanounced today that the country would use Islamic law in the government and banking systems.
The Telegraph reported:
Mustafa Abdul-Jalil, the chairman of the National Transitional Council and de facto president, had already declared that Libyan laws in future would have Sharia, the Islamic code, as its “basic source”.
But that formulation can be interpreted in many ways – it was also the basis of Egypt’s largely secular constitution under President Hosni Mubarak, and remains so after his fall.
Mr Abdul-Jalil went further, specifically lifting immediately, by decree, one law from Col. Gaddafi’s era that he said was in conflict with Sharia – that banning polygamy.
In a blow to those who hoped to see Libya’s economy integrate further into the western world, he announced that in future bank regulations would ban the charging of interest, in line with Sharia. “Interest creates disease and hatred among people,” he said.
Gulf states like the United Arab Emirates, and other Muslim countries, have pioneered the development of Sharia-compliant banks which charge fees rather than interest for loans but they normally run alongside western-style banks…
…Libya is already the most conservative state in north Africa, banning the sale of alcohol. Mr Abdul-Jalil’s decision – made in advance of the introduction of any democratic process – will please the Islamists who have played a strong role in opposition to Col Gaddafi’s rule and in the uprising but worry the many young liberal Libyans who, while usually observant Muslims, take their political cues from the West.

Obama is implementing Sharia Law.
First in Egypt.
Now in Libya.
How long until it is here?

I will be most interested to see how the quality of their lives “improves” under Sharia…../

The big surprise here is that it only took a billion dollars to set up another radical Islamic regime. And guess what, they still hate us and more then likely NATO too. Welcome to Obama’s world!

So when does BP take control of Libyal oil ?
Wasn’t that the purpose of this cute little kinetic action ?

Surprise me not.
The women and non-Muslims (if any) should be thrilled.
shibumi commented:
Yep. Obama has done more than anyone else to aid in the spread of Islam.
Any bets on how long before the caliphate is announced?
Or will the factions be too busy killing each other?

Caphilate or kill each other?
It’s a toss up but I hope our troops are out of there and that Obama doesn’t somehow bring it here.

Anyone who thought getting rid of Quadaffi and Mubarak was a good idea are completely naive and/or want the worst situation possible for the world.
Bill Mitchell commented:
Whenever you take out an oppressive dictator you realize quickly why he was in power – because the nation is full of maniacs and you needed a cruel dictator to keep them in line.
Every time we take out another one of these despots we only empower Iran.

Does that mean if their banks Rip off the people for $700 Billion, they will be beheaded.
WE should try that Here. Just sayin…
Ella commented:
#10 Bill Mitchell:
“Every time we take out another one of these despots we only empower Iran.”
That’s exactly what that freak in the White House wants, Bill.
1. Destroy Israel
2. Establish a worldwide islamic caliphate
3. Bankrupt America.
He is almost there, isn’t he?

#10, you make an excellent point. The “Theory X” dictators were the plugs in the wall between the radical followers of the “culture of death” and civilization. Obama is pulling the plugs and letting them pour through like Termites and Fire Ants…speaking of “Plugs“, I hear “Plugs” Biden is entertaining the notion of running for POTUS in 2016…maybe I should use the metaphor of pulling the cork on a bottle for him….

Well in addition to Barry, I wonder why no one is asking Mr. Mccain what he thinks of all this? He was after all enocouraging all this. No one is saying Gadaffy wasn’t a dictator, a tyrant, a terrorist, but what comes after him? Looks like radical Islamic, and the west is helping them come to power.
He’s fine with this?
and now he wants to go after Syria??
http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=CNG.7a1f679ced5b40465c22d8e765ab2046.881&show_article=1
So, Mccain, what happens if Syria falls as well? we’ll have lets see, Libya, Egypt, Syria? Yemen? all implementing radical Shariah law. So, Mr. Mccain, this is what you want?
Faye commented:
Seems like the socialist dems will be shouting for joy. Isn’t this exactly what they want to happen world wide? Sure seems like it. Don’t you socialist dems and socialist msm just love helping to put the boot on the necks of all women, gays etc in Libya, Egypt and other Muslim spring nations…… Coming soon to a neighborhood near you.
Seriously, how stupid can the socialist dems be? They claim to be the protectors of the ones that will be hurt the most by Sharia yet they bend over backwards to bring Sharia into every nation they can, including this nation.
jainphx commented:
Does anyone else remember during the presidential campaign, Obama saying we were fighting the wrong war and that we should be fighting Pokistan. I think it all adds up. At the time the government was non Muslim, and more in tune with us. Now the general is gone and sharia is spreading fast. Obama is a traitor to this country.
Janet commented:
Like Barack HUSAIN OBAMA didn’t know the outcome – long live the Muslim Brotherhood – look to Hillery’s assistant – look to Obama’s financial contributors. Face the facts America – read his Books: He will “Stand with the Muslims” How in the hell did anyone elect him President?? Even if no one tied him to Muslims – how did any white American vote for him after listening to his 20+ year pastor who spoke nothing but HATE against the white race? What is wrong with all of us???? And now we’re paying for it!! And none of us has the backbone to stand up for what we really believe in. We don’t march on Washington against illegal immigration – against Obamacare – against the repeal of benefits for our brave serviceman – we stand SILENT. SHAME on us!! You better believe that if the tables were turned Sharpton, the ACLU, the Panthers, the Rainbow Coalition, The Black Caucus would all be SCREAMING for what they wanted. AND LaRAZA – well isn’t our esteemed President kissing their you know what? And what are we doing about it? NOTHING!!! So how dare we complain. We are sooo polite. So complacent. And we will lose this war. Because we don’t know how to STAND UP and BE HEARD!!
jainphx commented:
Janet—— So true, we have the same malady that struck the european Jews that for some unknown reason didn’t take deportation seriously, and went meekly to their deaths. I don’t knock my Jewish brothers, but their belief that evil somehow didn’t exist is still a mystery. Now we here in America are almost as willing to allow Obama to take us to a place we can’t go. Awaken or lose. ANYBODY but Romney.
Rose commented:
Anyone shocked is suicidally stuporous and not likely to awake in time to save themselves.
American Woman commented:
The following AP article shows either how stupid this administration really is or how stupid they think we are. (Oh yes, Hillary, they wanted a democracy, just like Egypt does.) Remember Kosovo, Hillary?
WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton says she supports calls for an investigation into the death of Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi as part of Libya’s transition from dictatorship to democracy.
Gadhafi was captured wounded, but alive Thursday in his hometown of Sirte. Bloody images of Gadhafi being taunted and beaten by his captors have raised questions about whether he was killed in crossfire, as suggested by government officials, or was executed.
Clinton tells NBC’s “Meet the Press” that she backs a proposal that the United Nations investigate Gadhafi’s death and that Libya’s Transitional National Council look into the circumstances, too.
Clinton says a democratic Libya should begin with the rule of law and accountability, as well as unity and reconciliation. She says investigating Gadhafi’s death is part of the process.
Joann Walker commented:
Before you can have democracy you have to have a rule of law and a constitution that defines the rule of law. Just having an election does not make a ” democracy”. The US is a Democratic Republic. I vote for naive #9 for the people that did not expect for all these countries to embrace sharia law.

Iam glad the GOP has really been on top of this. We can rest assured that things will work out.
Gop, GOP candidates???….crickets….Buehler?….Buehler?….Buehler?….

But this is what Obama wants. Mission accomplished!
el polacko commented:
what a shocker! who could have seen this coming? after all, what little we did know about the ‘rebels’ was that they were islamists being funded by iran. we were sure that,if we were nice to them and helped them with a couple of billion dollars, that they would magically want to install a western-style democracy. darn…how could we have been so wrong ?
el polacko commented:
@bear#13: blaming gay folks and jews has been done before. it didn’t work out very well for germany… or anyone else.
Objective Analysis commented:
He is his brother’s keeper. Iran’s leader is soon next to bring in the islamic uprising.
Israel needs to bomb the hell out of them and protect themselves.
Iconoclast commented:
For all his posturing, Qaddafi had been increasingly well behaved in the world community. Even before the inspiration of the Saddam Hussein example, he had toned down the rhetoric and, while no friend of the Jews, wasn’t an active actor in the attacks on Israel nor as a supporter of the palestinian savages. Mubarak and the Yemeni leaders were key allies. Of course Ø worked to destroy these governments. However oppressive they may have been, the alternative has proven – or shall prove – to be far worse and far more in accord with the Iranian mullahs. Watch for Ø to be declared some sort of hero by the diaperheads.

2012 Pres. Candidate Rick Perry: I Don’t Know If Obama’s Birth Certificate Is Real
http://obamareleaseyourrecords.blogspot.com/2011/10/presidential-candidate-rick-perry-i.html
The fact is NOBODY knows if Obama’s Birth Certificate is real since Obama has done EVERYTHING humanly possible to keep the alleged Birth Certificate from being FORENSICALLY EXAMINED.
As many twenty computer and document experts have examined the PDF Copy of Obama’s alleged Birth Certificate and they have all declared it a likely forgery.
The Birth Certificate and Obama’s eligibility is EXTREMEMLY IMPORTANT. Any one who would try to minimise the significance of this is issue is an absolute MORON and a TRAITOR.

Good Riddance to a Psychopathic Clown
[History will not shed any tears over the Loon, and neither will I. He was an example of the worst type of ruler history sometimes throws up: an empowered, murderous, psychopathic clown. He was a sick joke; it is a measure of the moral and political degradation of “third worldism” that his fellow thugs like Robert Mugabe, Hugo Chavez and dictators and kleptocrats without number considered him a member of the club, ignored his flagrant sins, and prostituted the name of justice by hailing him as a progressive, revolutionary leader who was making our world a better place.
[..]
Sadly, he deserved the death he received — just as Saddam Hussein deserved the humiliation and mockery of his last moments on earth. Forty years of comfortable prison in the Hague would not have been just recompense for his crimes; for a man whose vanity and ambition turned a country into a concentration camp, death is a just sentence, however served.]
Why So Many Got Qaddafi Wrong
[Gaddafi was a genuine monster and mass murderer, of foreigners as well as of his own people. Unfortunately some of the aspects of his personality and dictatorial style that helped him retain power for all those decades also served to obscure just how vicious he was.
The clownishness and the comic-opera costumes in particular made it harder to see him as a tyrant every bit as savage and cruel as more conventional third world dictators. We Westerners from countries with genuine elections tend to put too much faith in appearances. (It is why so many people wrongly assume that Syria’s Assads are not as cruel or dangerous as dictators sporting military fatigues and sunglasses, or wearing an animal pelt across their shoulders.) Gaddafi was indeed a clown but he was of the evil, John Wayne Gacy kind that inhabit nightmares.]
ah yes, a sociopathic clown & ironically a FRIEND of Obama,
Wright & Farrakhan, now how could that possibly be?? /s/

Obama’s Libyan Disaster
Anyone who believes that NATO’s overthrow of Muammar Gaddafi is a “success” for President Obama’s foreign policy should listen to the speech of Mustafa Abdul-Jalil, the chairman of the National Transitional Council, at the “liberation day” celebrations in Benghazi: “We are an Islamic country,” the de facto president of Libya proclaimed to the crowds shouting “Allahu Akbar.” “We take the Islamic religion as the core of our new government. The constitution will be based on our Islamic religion.”
Rather than a foreign policy “success” or proof of the superiority of “collective action,” Obama’s Libyan adventure is one more geopolitical disaster to go along with his failure to deal with Iran’s nuclear ambitions, the increasingly active hostility of Pakistan, the compromising of Israel’s security with demands for concessions, and the plans to make a precipitous withdrawal from Iraq by year’s end. Just as in Egypt, we have helped bring down a regime that represented no direct national security threat and served our interests, without any clear knowledge of who will replace them. We have colluded in a transparent fraud, claiming that we were intervening in Libya to stop a massacre, when in fact our obvious aim was the removal of Gaddafi. Worse yet, we have indulged, for the whole world to see, the hypocrisy of plucking the low-hanging fruit like Gaddafi on humanitarian pretexts, all the while we do nothing about the on-going massacres perpetrated by Syria’s Bashar al-Assad. And we have cleared the space for the emergence of another Islamist regime in the Middle East. The only lesson we have taught the world is that being America’s enemy is better for a dictator’s long-term survival than being our friend.

Complete utter ignorance on the part of Obama who never has nor ever will understand Foreign or Domestic Policies. Come on 2012!!
He is killing our deference and Military and it will take a while to rebuild our military should we need too. What a mess he has created for our new President.

*Breaking* Obama Tried to Stall US Troop Withdrawal: Logan Act Felony
September 15, 2008 by texasdarlin
On his World Tour in July, Obama interfered in the Bush Administration’s negotiations with the Iraqi Government about US troop withdrawals. For his own selfish political gain.
Not only is this an egregious Logan Act violation, which is a felony, it is an act of deception and political manipulation at the expense of American lives. Not to mention a reversal of Obama’s main campaign promise.
The New York Post has the story Monday:
WHILE campaigning in public for a speedy withdrawal of US troops from Iraq, Sen. Barack Obama has tried in private to persuade Iraqi leaders to delay an agreement on a draw-down of the American military presence.
According to Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari, Obama made his demand for delay a key theme of his discussions with Iraqi leaders in Baghdad in July.
“He asked why we were not prepared to delay an agreement until after the US elections and the formation of a new administration in Washington,” Zebari said in an interview.
Obama assumed authority not conveyed to him by the American public, and directly attempted to subvert the efforts of the current US Administration. He violated the Logan Act, which we wrote about in August. The Act states:
Any citizen of the United States, wherever he may be, who, without authority of the United States, directly or indirectly commences or carries on any correspondence or intercourse with any foreign government or any officer or agent thereof, with intent to influence the measures or conduct of any foreign government or of any officer or agent thereof, in relation to any disputes or controversies with the United States, or to defeat the measures of the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both.
NOTE: Violation of the Logan Act is a criminal offense, a felony. The NY Post continues:
Obama insisted that Congress should be involved in negotiations on the status of US troops – and that it was in the interests of both sides not to have an agreement negotiated by the Bush administration in its “state of weakness and political confusion.”
“However, as an Iraqi, I prefer to have a security agreement that regulates the activities of foreign troops, rather than keeping the matter open.” Zebari says.
Though Obama claims the US presence is “illegal,” he suddenly remembered that Americans troops were in Iraq within the legal framework of a UN mandate. His advice was that, rather than reach an accord with the “weakened Bush administration,” Iraq should seek an extension of the UN mandate.
