Libyan imam: Libya needs sharia and Islam

Of course it does, in the form of secular democracy and tolerance for other religions.

Wait,...what?

Libya is going the way of all the other supposed democratic revolutions: straight to Islam and sharia.

Not that I told you so...

New Libya should be governed by sharia: imam  

Speaking to thousands of worshippers attending weekly Muslim prayers in Martyrs' Square, formerly known as Green Square, Sheikh Abdel Ghani Abu Ghrass said "we must underline the Islamic character of the new Libyan state."

He added the future Libya "should be governed in conformity with sharia."

Abu Ghrass also called for preserving national unity, which he said "is an important element for the success of the revolution, which faces numerous challenges."

He also called for regulation on the bearing of arms and for fighters to be integrated into the security forces.
