Libya's transitional leader declared his country's liberation on Sunday, three days after the hated dictator Moammar Gadhafi was captured and killed.

He called on Libyans to show "patience, honesty and tolerance" and eschew hatred as they embark on rebuilding the country at the end of an 8-month civil war.

The transitional government leader Mustafa Abdul-Jalil set out a vision for the post-Gadhafi future with an Islamist tint, saying that Islamic Sharia law would be the "basic source" of legislation in the country and that existing laws that contradict the teachings of Islam would be nullified. In a gesture that showed his own piety, he urged Libyans not to express their joy by firing in the air, but rather to chant "Allahu Akbar," or God is Great. He then stepped aside and knelt to offer a brief prayer of thanks.

"This revolution was looked after by God to achieve victory," he told the crowd at the declaration ceremony in the eastern city of Benghazi, the birthplace of the uprising against Gadhafi began. He thanked those who fell in the fight against Gadhafi's forces. "This revolution began peacefully to demand the minimum of legitimate rights, but it was met by excessive violence."

Abdul-Jalil said new banks would be set up to follow the Islamic banking system, which bans charging interest. For the time being, he said interest would be canceled from any personal loans already taken out less than 10,000 Libyan dinars (about $7,500).

He also announced that all military personnel and civilians who have taken part in the fight against Gadhafi would be promoted to the rank above their existing one. He said a package of perks would later be announced for all fighters.

"Thank You, thank you to the fighters who achieved victory, both civilians and military," he said. He also paid tribute to the Gulf Cooperation Council, a six-nation alliance led by Saudi Arabia, The Arab League and the European Union. NATO, which aided the anti-Gadhafi fighters with airstrikes, performed its task with "efficiency

Western politicians will never (and I mean never) learn that the only stable form of government in the region is despotism. If that is a self-centered wack-job, then perhaps that keeps the idle hands busy...

Little Iran in the making?

"................"We found 53 decomposing bodies, apparently (Gadhafi) supporters, at an abandoned hotel in Sirte, and some had their hands bound behind their backs when they were shot," said Peter Bouckaert, emergencies director of Human Rights Watch................ "

I see the President's Allies are wasting little time showing their true colors.

State mum on Libya's Sharia law

The Obama administration on Monday treaded carefully around the announcement that Sharia law will be enforced in post-Muammar Qadhafi Libya, refraining from expressing disapproval of Islamic law as the foundation of the country’s new legal system.

“We’ve seen various Islamic-based democracies wrestle with the issue of establishing rule of law within an appropriate cultural context,” State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland told reporters on Monday when quizzed about Libya’s National Transitional Council leader Mustafa Abdul-Jalil’s declaration on Sunday that Sharia law will shape the country’s legal system.

Nuland added that the “number one” priority for the U.S. was that universal human rights, as well as rights for women, minorities, due process and transparency, be fully respected in Libya.

Pressed on whether this meant the administration had no objections to Libya’s new government using the Sharia law as a basis for the country’s legal system, Nuland responded: “The term has broad application and is understood differently.”

“Our concern is that constitutions of new and emerging democracies, constitutions of democracies around the world, meet international standards of human rights,” she added.

The State Department’s cautious response follows Abdul-Jalil’s announcement on Sunday, when the country formally celebrated its liberation from former ruler Qadhafi following his death last week, that Sharia would be the basis for the country’s legal system.

“Any law that violates sharia is null and void legally,” the NTC’s leader said in Benghazi on Sunday, according to the AFP. “The law of divorce and marriage … this law is contrary to Sharia and it is stopped.”

Abdul-Jalil also said Libya will follow banking laws that conform to Sharia, which prohibits earning interest, the AFP said

They are well on the way to being a civilized nation by tossing his body on the floor of a meat locker and letting folks file through to get cell phone pictures of his dead decaying corpse...
...doesn't sharia law require timely burial?

That entire section of the globe would look real nice as a decorative chunck of glass.....
