Now Here is a Surprise

The leader of Libya for over four decades, is now dead.  He was dragged out of a sewer pipe and was slapped around and bloodied by his captors before he somehow got shot in the head.  The delusional despot, Moammar Gaddafi, is now dead and his soul is now probably not real concerned with what is happening to his $200 billion in stashed loot.

So now that the Libyan people have thrown him out (with lots of help from NATO)....can peace, love and democracy be allowed to flourish in this Muslim country?  Don't hold your breath.

Mustafa Abdul-Jalil, the chairman of the National Transitional Council and de fact president, had already declared that Libyan laws in future would have Sharia, the Islamic code, as its "basic source".

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.

Now let's continue to watch the situation as Libya draws closer to Iran, Russia, and Turkey.  Why do we know that this will happen?...because the Bible tells me so.

Hey Dennis,

On fox news web site this AM

The Vatican called Monday for radical reform of the world's financial systems, including the creation of a global political authority to manage the economy.

I wonder if they are also calling for a global religion as we travel down the long road leading to the creation of a public authority with universal jurisdiction.

Peace,

Tom
