New Libya’s legislation to be based on Islam
The new Libyan authorities will draw extensively on Islam to make laws, says the Head of the Transitional National Council Mustafa Abdul Jalil, according to the Voice of Russia.
He was speaking during his first public appearance in Tripoli before several thousand supporters of the Council who gathered in a city square to mark their victory. We reject any extremist ideology, whether a right-wing or left-wing one, Abdul Jalil said, we are a Muslim nation, professing moderate Islam and we’ll remain adhered to that path.
The new Libyan Prime Minister urged his audience to resist anyone who would try to steal the revolutionary gains.
