Libya Is Not Liberated
By now many of you have read the headlines from all over the world: "Libya's new rulers declare country liberated." However, any country that is governed by the Shariah is not a free country but rather an imprisoned one.
Here is the story:
BBC, Libya's new rulers declare country liberated
Libya's transitional government has declared national liberation before a jubilant crowd in Benghazi, where the revolt against Muammar Gaddafi began.
National Transitional Council (NTC) leader Mustafa Abdul Jalil urged Libyans to put civil conflict behind them for the sake of the country.
Mr Abdul Jalil said the new Libya would take Islamic law as its foundation. Interest for bank loans would be capped, he said, and restrictions on the number of wives Libyan men could take would be lifted.
Any state that has Islamic sharia law as the basis of its legislation consigns its citizens to the barbaric system of laws that ruled Arabia 1400 years ago. And I suppose it's a great step forward that more women can now be under the thumb of a Muslim husband than formerly.
US President Barack Obama congratulated Libyans, saying: "After four decades of brutal dictatorship and eight months of deadly conflict, the Libyan people can now celebrate their freedom and the beginning of a new era of promise." Freedom? Under Sharia? Liberals never stop drinking the Kool Aid.
