It's not looking good. In fact, Libya looks set to impose Sharia law on all its citizens, but not to worry because apparently "extremist ideology'" won't be tolerated under the new regime. Confused? You should be. Last time I checked Sharia law was pretty extreme. Apparently there are more extreme things than honour killings, forcing women to cover themselves in public, gender segregation, placing blame on rape victims rather than rapists, women not being allowed to vote or drive, cutting off the hands of thieves who probably needed that loaf of bread to feed their starving family and a financial system just as primitive as all of the afore mentioned barbaric practises. I could go on but you get the idea.
While I understand the implementation of Sharia law varies depending on which Islamist cesspool one happens to be unfortunate enough to reside in, the overwhelming theme is the subjugation of women and promotion of human suffering. This is progress? I think not. Like the oil that sustains it and the blood spilled on its streets, the future of Libya does not look bright.
