"Islam is the religion of the state and the principal source of legislation is... Sharia" - Libyan Draft Constitution

What this means:

- Libya will be a Theocracy, not a Democracy.
- Homosexuals may be stoned to death.
- Adultery may be considered to be for a woman to be in the presence of another man without her husband, and may be stoned to death.
- Males may be able to marry a 9 year old.
- Wives can be beaten.
- Slavery may be legalized.
- Hands can be chopped off for stealing.
- The punishment for leaving Islam may be death.
- Etc.....

Why would we be supporting this, much less celebrating?

Thanks to joshcryer for the link. If this is the final document, all was for naught, IMHO.
