Libya’s Government New Sharia Law

This time to wake up  Libya government acknowledged on Sunday, they make on path to electronic, is a rule of new government on based Islamic tenets. Mustafa abdul-jalil say about New Sharia Law this word "We take the Islamic religion as the core of our new government. The constitution will be based on our Islamic religion". This is will be on our Islamic religions.

It paves the way for a process accepted by the intermediary body called the National Transitional Council, which will host the NTC move in Tripoli and Benghazi form a transitional government in 30 days. The National Assembly of 200 members must be elected within 240 days, and appoint a prime minister a month later, which can appoint a cabinet. The National Assembly also took time to oversee the development of a new constitution - Gaddafi did not exist - and the holding of parliamentary and presidential elections.

Already, the process of forming a united government and representative promises to be fulfilled. With Gaddafi dead, threatening cracks that have always existed before the revolution, either along regional or tribal lines, or between Islamists and secular liberals to develop.

Even the fact that the release was reported in Benghazi, Tripoli, instead, suggest friction between the numbers of management in both cities - many members of NTC, especially those in eastern Libya, remained Benghazi, the second largest city.

The question of who does what, either during the war in the last eight months or more than four decades Gaddafi was in power, will determine much of the new ordinance.

On Saturday, said Prime Minister Mahmoud Jibril facto progress will depend on two things. "First, what kind of NTC face will appear in the next few days, and the other depends mainly on the Libyan people - they distinguish between past and future," he said. "I expect to look to the future and remember the kind of pain they experienced over the past 42 years. " Jibril also warned that Libya would soon find another source of income, because the country had already consumed 62 percent of its oil under Gaddafi.

These research directions that Libya can look at the new entries in the specific sections of speech Mustafa Abdel Jalil NTC head, Benghazi, yesterday, which went into some detail about the place of Islam in the post-Gaddafi.

"This revolution has been blessed by God to achieve victory," Jalil, who is considered believers, but moderate, told the crowd. "And we must walk on the right track."

Libya, he said, would be with Sharia law would be a "key source" of legislation and all laws contrary to Islamic principles should be immediately repealed.

It was not the first time that Jalil had made such statements, and many other Arab countries have similar provisions of the Constitution, but the Libyans have a more liberal trend may have baulked, what came after.

The new state "does not allow polygamy," said Jalil, and charging interest is forbidden. Some of the Libyans to point out that polygamy was practiced discreetly under Gaddafi, while other observations Jalil interpreted as a practical measure to address the thousands of women widowed during the war.

These statements, but greeted with cheers from the crowd, will raise eyebrows among more secular Libyans who prefer to have these issues resolved through a democratic process rather than presented almost as a fait accompli at this early stage.

Islamist discourse Jalil shade can be interpreted in several ways: it may have been trying to affect less the more intransigent elements in Libya to find your feet after Gaddafi, or an attempt to maintain the basic level on board is one of the most conservative of companies North Africa, which will be challenging.

Anyway, it shows that questions about what Islam should play the role promises to be one of the most pressing in the new Libya.
