Since we've talked about Egypt today, I thought you might be interested in how things are going in Libya as well.

Excerpted - surprisingly, given its political bent - from an article in the latest issue of Time Magazine:

Throughout Libya, Gaddafi's fall has emboldened Salafis, who were persecuted and imprisoned under the now deceased leader. They have increased their public presence, taken over mosques, and even hoisted the flag of al-Qaeda over the courthouse in Benghazi where the revolution began eleven months ago. In the capital of Tripoli, Salafis have destroyed more than six shrines. In one incident, dozens swarmed mausoleums belonging to two Muslim mystics and dug up their bodies so that worshippers could no longer visit their tombs. They also burned the relics around the shrines.

There are many different varieties of Islam.  Some most assuredly are tolerant and peaceful -- religion is what each individual makes it.

But these are the people taking over in Libya.  And they are neither.

Just like the people taking over in Egypt. 

This is some helluvan Arab Spring. 

And don't forget whose demands for Hosni Mubarak to resign in Egypt, and whose bombing of Libya, brought it to fruition.

Now grow old waiting for Barack Obama's Accomplice Media to pick up on this disaster, aided and abetted all the way by Barack Obama & Co., who think they know foreign policy (and everything else) better than the rest of us.
