JoshuaPundit: It's Official - Libya To Be Ruled By The Muslim Brotherhood And Sharia
An adviser to Mr Jibril said the former prime minister was likely to take the post of figurehead president with Mustafa Abu Shagour, currently interim deputy prime minister of the Muslim Brotherhood, taking the prime minister's slot as head of government.
The Muslim Brotherhood would dominate the ministries. {...}
Any coalition government would grant a prominent place to the al-Watan party of Abdulhakim Belhaj, sources said. Mr Belhaj acknowledged that the talks were under way. He said: "I negotiate with anyone who cares about Libya and wants to unite it."
Belhaj was the commander of the former Libyan Islamic Fighting Group, which had ties to al-Qaeda.
And of course, sharia rule:
The outgoing National Transitional Council, which has ruled Libya since Gaddafi's fall, announced yesterday that Islamic Sharia law should be the "main" source of legislation and that this principle should not be subject to a referendum.
Worth over a billion dollars of our money, wasn't it?
Here's another thing to think about, and those of you who visit this site regularly know I've been saying this for quite some time.
The Brotherhood ruled areas of Egypt and Gaza are economically dysfunctional, with large, mostly uneducated populations they can't feed and no oil money.
Just imagine a new, hardline Islamist Caliphate merging Libya's oil wealth with the territory and population of Egypt and Gaza, all under one banner. And it might even eventually include Tunisia, the Arab occupied areas of Judea and Samaria now ruled by the Palestinian Authority and Jordan, where King Abdullah is hanging on by a thread.
This is what the Brotherhood's founder, al-Banna dreamt about, and it has been handed to the Islamists on a silver platter. Not only that, but the American taxpayer paid for the platter.
The west is going to pay a large price in the near future for President Obama's enabling of the Muslim Brotherhood. Mark my words.
FP: The West has only itself to blame.
Daniel Greenfield quotes from Natasha Smith’s blog post describing her rape by thugs in Egypt and then comments:
I shouted “salam! Salam! Allah! Allah!”. In my desperate state I also shouted “ma’is salaama!” which actually means “goodbye” – just about the worst possible thing to say to a horde of men trying to ruin me. I might as well have yelled “goodbye cruel world! Down I go!”
...
Women were crying and telling me “this is not Egypt! This is not Islam! Please, please do not think this is what Egypt is!” I reassured her that I knew that was the case, that I loved Egypt and its culture and people, and the innate peacefulness of moderate Islam. She appeared stunned. But I’m not really a vengeful person and I could see through the situation. This vicious act was not representative of the place I had come to know and love.
....everything you need to know about the future of the free world is right here in those words.
The horde will rape Europe, Israel and America and we will go on shouting "Salam! Salam! Allah! Allah!" and assuring the few Muslims who do the decent thing that we are not vengeful people and we know better than to assume that what we are experiencing is representative of the people and their culture.
It’s not different than what I and others, including JoshuaPundit, have been arguing.
Barry Rubin: Extra! Extra! World Agrees on How to Solve Syrian Civil War!
Here it is at last. The perfect case study of the "international community's" diplomacy on the Middle East, as quoted from a Wall Street Journal article describing efforts to resolve the Syria conflict:
And the article has the perfect headline, too!"
"World Powers Reach Syria Compromise"
So the problem is solved, right? Scroll down for the stunning solution.
"An international meeting in Geneva on Saturday on Syria's crisis agreed, with support from Russia, to support a political transition. However, officials at the meeting said any chance for a political transition to succeed rests on the willingness of the Syrian regime to cooperate."
That's right! The powers have agreed to a transition to a new government which will go into effect as soon as the current dictatorship agrees to be overthrown and its rulers flee for their lives and watch their supporters probably be massacred. Perhaps the world will then install a new Islamist government in Syria, forcing it down the throats of the real democratic opposition, which will be dedicated to spreading revolution and striking against Western interests.
Isn't diplomacy wonderful?
FP: Can you imagine what would happen to Israel if she could not defend herself and was dependent on the “international community”
Daniel Greenfield: WILL OF THE PEOPLE, WHAT'S THAT?
Almost 100 Conservative MPs this week wrote to Mr Cameron demanding a legal commitment to hold a referendum on Britain’s relationship with the EU after the next election. Several ministers privately believe that leaving the union should not be ruled out.
Mr Cameron did not rule out some sort of vote on European issues eventually, but insisted that he would not give the British people the option of leaving the EU outright. "I completely understand why some people want an in/out referendum, why they wanted it yesterday, why they want it today, Some people just want to get out: I completely understand that but I don't share that view, I don't think that's the right thing to do.”
And if Cameron doesn't think that's the right thing to do, why bother consulting the people on it?
The Justice Secretary launched a sustained attack on advocates of a popular vote on Europe, which he described as “a total irrelevance” that would create turmoil and undermine Britain’s economic credibility.
"In the middle of a global financial crisis to start asking a yes/no question about whether or not we should stay in the biggest trading bloc in the global economy, I think would be a slightly foolish thing to do," Mr Clarke said.
Some people might think that's the exact right time to ask the question, but that would just undermine confidence in the EUtanic, which is unsinkable, so long as people go on believing in it.
Also referendums are a very silly thing.
"I cannot think of anything sillier to do than hold a referendum. I’m not keen on referendums, I see no case for this referendum.”
And we're bound to win a referendum anyway, so there's no need to actually hold one.
There's growing referendum madness in Germany too, which is bearing the cost of this disaster.
The leader of Merkel's Bavarian allies in the CSU, Horst Seehofer, wrote in business daily Handelsblatt: "Politicians cannot simply impose more Europe on us from the top down ... That's why I'm pleading for our constitution to allow us to have referendums on all important European matters."
German voters will no doubt be thrilled by scenes such as this.
An acrimonious summit dragged on late into the night as Italian and Spanish leaders threatened to delay approval of a €120bn "compact for jobs and growth" unless they secured immediate help on their borrowing costs.
In a welfare state, the welfare recipients have to be talked into accepting their welfare.
FP: Europe has become borg an abomination and a laughing stock, which is a nontrivial act. These are the people to impose sanctions on Iran or contain the MB caliphate developing in the ME?
Bill Katz: ANOTHER BRILLIANT EDUCATIONAL IDEA
The Daily Caller reports that a video has surfaced of Democratic Representative Andre Carson of Indiana, one of two Muslims in the House, advocating that America adopt the Muslim approach to education. “America will never tap into educational innovation and ingenuity without looking at the model that we have in our madrassas, in our schools, where innovation is encouraged, where the foundation is the Quran,” Carson said in the speech. Hmm. I'm sure we all admire the educational innovation we see in places like Pakistan and Saudi Arabia, especially the love of the 10th-century political thinking. I wonder if Carson would permit girls to partake of this brilliant intellectual adventure.
FP: We need more Muslims in Congress to come up with more areas where we can apply the Quran. And we’ll get them too.
