The Islamic Republic of Libya

[TheFaQQer]

With all the uprisings across the region I would not be surprised to see a league of Islamic states appearing, or even an Islamic super state across North Africa.

Caliphate, surely?

Yeeurghhh!!!

Who would want to live in a country where one sect of a particular religion gets preferential status?

Oh hang on........wait a minute.....

Those times are past now...

There are laws to prevent that kind of thing in Northern Ireland. But then again these morons are living 30 years in the past.

The time to start worrying is when Granada becomes an Islamic Republic.

It didn't end well the last time that happened.

I said this when the Western numbnuts attacked Iraq that, as abhorrent as it is, they would be better off keeping Saddam in place and working with or coercing him rather than deposing him. Same with Libya.

Me too. Saddam worked against al Quaeda.

And I thought the same with Egypt.

Islamic Sharia law can hardly be a tolerant democracy can it? Democracy means that all have an equal say in direction of society, not just male Muslim clerics. This "Arab Spring" is all going just as many of said it would and it was pretty predictable, except to our idiot leaders.

On the one hand - if the people of Libya had a referendum and agrred to have an Islamic state that is fine - but the idea that this is being imposed without any consultation is a concern - given the uK has piad 1.75 Billion to oust Gaddaffi - fo this >?

Any comments for those who were very pro Libyan War - still happy ?
