Let the war begin. Libya's transitional leader says Islamic Sharia law will be the "basic source" of all law http://news.yahoo.com/libyas-transitional-leader-says-islamic-sharia-law-basic-154324774.html
I don't understand enough about Sharia Law but if it has been their guiding principals and law of order for 2500+ years whats wrong with it? Seems we are the ones with a chip on our shoulder or superiority complex that our truly fucked up legal system is better. Our system is not eye for an eye fair but leans towards he who has the most money wins or stays out of jail.
Islam has only existed for about 1400 years, not 2500+. Our laws in the U.S. are based upon Christian-Judeo beliefs. They cannot be compared to Sharia law. Here is a brief explanation of Sharia law. http://islammonitor.org/index.php?id=4050&option=com_content
Dammit, so we liberated these Libyan fckers and they are now gonna go all muzzie terrorist on us?! I say we nuke Libya and be done with it.
Democracy brought Hamas into power, what's new? Tunisians, in their first free and fair elections for several decades, have probably just voted in Ennahda. Ditto.
And America and Israel refused to recognize Hamas as a legitimate government. Far as I know we had nothing to do with the Tunisian republic and their uprising (though I wouldn't be surprised). My point is when we meddle, like we did in Iraq or we are in Libya, we often wind up with a government that is or will be less friendly than the one we deposed. Libya was basically a secular government (i.e.: western). Sharia, as you are probably aware, is not of the West. In the case of Iraq, we have now all but been kicked out and Iran will wield more influence than we will. How does this benefit the United States of America?
Wrong. Both Iraq and Libya were basically secular governments before we went in and mucked things up: Libya: <iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/nZPHM1tF3_Q" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Iraq: http://www.monstersandcritics.com/n...ce_secular_now_dominated_by_religious_parties Care to revise your statement?
islammonitor.org now that site has no agenda. As for Christian-Judeo law being the Western norm I fancy that assumption is somewhat flawed when you realize how many modern legal practices are derived from pagan Roman law.
