Muammar Qaddafi’s son, Seif al-Islam, has announced that the regime has struck a deal with its Islamist opposition to turn Libya into a Sharia state and crush the secular rebels. This comes as the top rebel commander, Abdel Fateh Younes, was murdered, possibly by Islamists. The Islamist opposition, however, says Qaddafi is just trying to divide the rebels. Libya is now facing a civil war between a dictator who seeks Islamist support, and rebels with Islamists among them.
Seif al-Islam claims that a joint statement between the regime and its new Islamist friends will soon be released. He said that the agreement was reached when the regime agreed to make Sharia the law of the land. The rebel city of Darna will become “like Mecca” and has already become “Waziristan on the Mediterranean.” After winning the war, he said that “Libya will look like Saudi Arabia, like Iran.” As for the secular rebels, “The liberals will escape or be killed…We will do it together.”
The announcement comes on the heels of the assassination of the top rebel commander, Abdel Fateh Younes. A minister with the opposition’s National Transitional Council claims that a rebel-allied Islamist militia called the Obaida Ibn Jarrah Brigade was responsible. However, others suspect that the Katiba Yussef Shakir militia was behind the murder. The group recently attacked a prison in Benghazi and freed 300 inmates that were on the side of the regime. The rebels have since battled the militia, accusing it of being a “fifth column” that infiltrated their ranks on behalf of Qaddafi.
The Islamist identified by Seif al-Islam as the regime’s new ally, Ali Sallabi, says the regime is lying. He says he supports a civil constitution, and is committed to overthrowing Qaddafi. Indeed, the Islamists have invested their hopes in the rebel cause. The Muslim Brotherhood is active in rebel-controlled Libya now, and Sheikh Yousef al-Qaradawi has issued a fatwa permitting the killing of Qaddafi. Al-Qaeda is against Qaddafi, and members of the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group are in the fight. There are also indications that Hezbollah is helping the rebels, but the terrorist group denies this claim.
If it is true that Qaddafi has mended ties with some of the Islamists by offering to make the country a Sharia state, it wouldn’t be surprising. The regime orchestrated numerous terrorist attacks in the 1980s, such as the 1986 disco bombing in Germany and the Lockerbie bombing of 1988. In 2003, Qaddafi used an American member of the Muslim Brotherhood, Abdurahman Alamoudi, to reach out to Al-Qaeda. He was used to pay the Movement for Islamic Reform in Arabia $1 million to kill then-Crown Prince Abdullah of Saudi Arabia following a public spat. The plot was foiled before the attack took place. In recent years, the regime tried to bury the hatchet with the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group, saying it wanted to “end a tragic period.”
You can't trust a majnoon like Qaddafi and anyone who thinks he is worthy of ruling like his sons!
Look people do what you want but don't make a muslim/islam a friend he and she will murdered you when you think all is ok. But our doubled stink government has been making deals for years with islam and that is why we as a nation will soon come apart and we the people must put it right once more.
by the way how many jews made alliance with Nazi to go to the camp with a happy face?
don't be fools.
Does this mean Daffy will have to give up his dress collection ? And what about his female body guards? Somehow I dont think they'll want to trade their AK's for a burqa .
BTW DAWES , I didn't think that last remark about Jews was made with any intelligence . In fact I think it STUNK .
Lies, lies, lies.
Maybe I'm "slow" but I can't keep any of this straight. These people are so untrustworthy and seem to change allegiances so often I can't make heads or tails out of any of it. They are all corrupt and none of this will end well no matter how you slice it. Could be also because they have names that all sound so different they just don't "imprint" in my brain. It is just too tedious to keep it all straight.
jihadists and qaddafi deserve one another. If qaddafi survives and retains control of even part of libya, he'll ditch the jihadists by murdering them. Not too bad of an outcome.
Is this the son that was just reported slain?
I wish each reader would Google 'Libya man made river' which is a 12 meter [36'] diameter pipe that was months from completion to provide irrigation suffiecient to become the major bread basket for Europe and Africa.
Since they would then have excess oil and food they would be completely independant of the One World governance control. Hence the UN was motivated to change the leadership and kill this project!
Yes, Qaddafi is a dictator, but what wil b the aftermath of the war. Wil the Libya b the next Afighan or Iraq ?
So now the message is ALL the rebels are "liberals" seeking democracy and enemies of Islam. Are these the same folks that have been speaking out against the Islamic call for Jihad against Israel and the US and all non-Muslims?? Please, there are no differences between those that are aligned with the regime and those fighting the regime. Either way and however they can, they seek to take control. This now comes down to how much money they can con us out of or how much weaponry they can get from us…to eventually be used against us!
Now the hussein administration might leave quadaffy alone.
This is what our Libyan intervention has done, it has driven Qaddafi into alliance with Islamists. Be happy!
Great Job there Obama! Ghetto Cracker in Chief!
This is exactly why the U.S. never should have gotten involved in this conflict. It's a bad idea to intervene in any civil war, it's even worse when you have no clue as to what is going on. There are no god options here. President Obama picked a fight because he thought Libya would be an easy target, and because he wanted to look like a tough guy. No matter who wins we'll probably end up with another Sharia state.
The Qaddafi regime has committed atrocities, but WHY is the documented fact and even on Youtube of the atrocities committed by the rebels IGNORED.
Why is America and NATO fighting on the side of the rebels when it is known that Al-Qaeda are a significant force in the rebels. Why is America calling the Al-Qaeda rebels, allies, when Al-Qaeda are killing our troops? It is immoral.
Why are we running around waging wars against other countries? We are bankrupt. We have no money to fight ANY wars.
Let the Muslims fight their OWN wars with their OWN money, their OWN military, and their OWN weapons.
Why is the US and NATO on the side of, and waging war for racist, evil Libya rebels, Black-haters perpetrating genocide against Blacks?
Read the blackstarnews article below. If you are in the New York City vicinity, please join the protest.
STOP THE GENOCIDE OF BLACKS
blackstarnews: The New York Times, CNN, The Washington Post, the BBC and other major news organizations have never followed up on The Wall Street Journal's June 21 article about ethnic cleansing of Black Libyans in Misurata by the "Brigade for the purging of slaves, Black Skin."
That Brigade, of Libya's so-called rebels, backed by NATO and the White House, eliminated the Black population of Misurata and promised to do the same to Black Libyans once they seized control of the city of Tawergha, 25 miles away.
Major news outlets are deliberately ignoring or downplaying the racialist-motivated atrocities against Black people being committed by the terroristic "rebels."
On August 13, there will be a major demonstration and march in Harlem, starting at 10 AM at 110 Street and Malcolm X Boulevard to protest the U.S. involvement in NATO's war of aggression against Libya.
Gee,what a surprise that Qaddafi is siding with Islamists. If you looked at this guy honestly,he was always a bad guy to start with. Siding with Islamists isn't a stretch for him,given his monstrous history.
REASON magazine, always a good source:

What's the big deal Qaddafi , has always sided with jihadis .What the hell was LOCKERBY ?
And the Nightclub in Germany ?
The devil is in the devil, Qaddafi is the flip side of Dorian Gray……………….William
Al-Qaeda linked rebels highly favored by America and NATO for whom the U.S. and NATO are on the side of, and waging war for, are perpetrating genocide against Blacks. If you are in the vicinity of New York City, please join the protest in New York City.

AWSOMESAUCE!!!! Now we have yet another reaaaalllllyyyy fantastic reason to nuke the area…..sine the gajillion other reeealllllyyy good reasons to nuke that crap hole didnt do the trick
I guess one could have expected Gaddaffi and the Islamists to "kiss and make up", but how long will it be before the fighting starts again?
Google 'Libya Man Made River' and then you will understand that the 'West' wants Gaddaffi out because he refuses to knuckle under to the One World Governance. They have no debt, and the River [12 meter or 40' diameter pipe] was to irragate their fertile land to become a Bread Basket for Europe and Africa when the river was to be completed in 2014 … They rejected IMF money, refused USA fertilizer and seeds … What country has exports of oil and food with no need of imports? According to other reports most of the bombing was to destroy these ground pipes.
Learn to find your own news, our media is slightly biased toward communism and in favor of the One World. Google Gilderber, Council of Foreign Relation, Tri Later Commission and understand who they are and their funding!
Then study international finance …OUCH
I don't know why you like Qaddafi so much. He's a brutal terrorist who has murdered Americans in the past. I,for one,hope he gets what he deserves.
America and NATO owe the world an explanation as to why they are making WAR on innocents. It is shameful and evil.
August 06, 2011. WorldNetDaily: No more Moammar? Don't count Gadhafi out yet
NATO-backed Libyan rebels are showing signs of serious fracture, punctuated by their indiscriminate killing of civilians.
The Warfalla tribe – one of the largest in Libya – is being joined by other tribes to fight the rebels because of what is described as indiscriminate killing of civilians by Western alliance-backed troops.
The sources said that Qatari troops, tanks and helicopters "are openly killing these unarmed tribal members. They have their Qatari tanks in the streets of Benghazi. They are actively shooting on unarmed civilians."
Franklin Lamb, an international lawyer who is in Tripoli, told G2Bulletin that repeated NATO bombings also have included hospitals, Ramadan food storage warehouses, the country's main water distribution infrastructure, private homes and "more than 1,600 other civilian sites."
