After a NATO supported uprising against Gaddafi, the new rulers have now declared that Sharia law will be the 'basic source' of Libyan legislation. Knowing full well that Western nations will be none to happy with having promoted any extremist Islamic force to become dominant there, the new Libyan rulers are doing their best to minimise the impact of this edict, with the claim that they really are moderate Muslims. However there are disturbing elements, and a distinct amount of bullshit surrounding this pretence. Especially when conflicting claims can be seen to arise.
In this article about it from Canada's CBC News, the headline is Shariah law in Libya will be moderate, officials say
and it goes on to tell us among other things
Take special note of the 'women having the same rights as men'.
In this article from the Daily Mail we are told The chairman of the National Transitional Council declared that a future parliament would have an ‘Islamist tint’ and any existing laws contradicting the teachings of Islam would be ‘nullified’.
Under the new regime, men will even be permitted to take up to four wives, he suggested.
Clearly, women don't have the same rights as men, but as we've seen all too often, Islamists will spew any story that fits what the listener wants to hear at the time, and which enables them ultimately to take greater power. Their word is deceit, and merely a weapon for them to use in their desire for world control.
So what about the BBC's take on this issue.
For starters there's no main article on this event, and the only reference to it appears on this article headlined Libyan authorities announce Gaddafi death investigation like this is what's really important to readers here. Halfway down the article it gives us Sharia law
On Sunday, there were celebrations across Libya when Mr Abdul Jalil declared the country liberated.
However, Western governments expressed misgivings about his statement that Libya would take Islamic law as the source of its legislation.
In his statement on Monday, Mr Abdul Jalil sought to address those concerns.
"I would like to assure the international community that we as Libyans are moderate Muslims," he said.
Do you feel assured? I certainly don't! But this is the line the BBC will be pushing.

Speaking on CBC's Power & Politics with Evan Solomon, Ali Aujali, Libyan ambassador to the U.S., said there's no need to worry that Libyan-based Shariah law will be anything like Sharia law practised by the Taliban in Afghanistan.
"Libya, first of all, is not Afghanistan," Aujali said. "Secondly, the interpretation of the scholars in Afghanistan is completely different from the interpretation of the scholars in Libya. Libya is a very modern society. It is a conservative society, it's true, but it is a society which is based on logic and human issues. I'm not worried about this at all."
Shariah will deal with personal or social issues, or issues related to interest on loans, he said, while assuring that, women, for example, will have the same rights as men.
