Islamic Emirate in Lybia


Italian Foreign Minister Francesco Franco Frattini said embattled Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi had lost control of Cyrenaica and an Islamic emirate had been declared there.
It is a worrying developments if radical Islam is only a few hundred kilometers away from the European Union's front door.
But I read in the NYT that it was a popular revolution demanding American-style democracy ...

Pic.: The Emir Idris of Lybia. He was the leader of a Muslim (sufi) sect.

A few hundred km? Europe should be so lucky. It is already inside Europe.

You see that Sufi Goofies are not the mythical beasts known as moderate Muslims either.
