Egypt-Inspired Protests Spread to Libya
 

CAIRO – Hundreds of Libyans calling for the government's ouster clashed with security forces firing rubber bullets and water cannons early Wednesday in the country's second-largest city as Egypt-inspired unrest spread to the country long ruled by Moammar Qaddafi.

The protest in Benghazi was triggered by the arrest Tuesday of a Libyan activist but quickly took on an anti-government tone, witnesses and activists said. The protest was relatively small in size, but it signaled anti-government activists have been emboldened by the recent wave of uprisings.

About damn time.

Poor Tunisians, :cry: They can't get no respect! :DL

We'll have to watch this one closely, Slovenian companies have contracts worth billions in Lybia, mostly construction

I was thinking more along the lines of:

Poetic justice.

Buh-bye Kuh-daffy. :O:

Well, there's that too. :sunny:

This region is tuning into a greater Islamic Republic right before your eyes and all that can be said 'about time'? Talk about sheep lead to the slaughter.

So I gather you don't believe that those people deserve self determination?

Or that the world needs to get rid of another dictator who's too stupid to actually believe he's fooling the international community?

I suppose by your responses you two actually believe Islam is a peaceful religion too. Just look at Iran and you can feel the love can't you? Wasn't there someone on another post who told you oh don't worry Egypt is safe from Muslim Brotherhood he boasted they would need 60% of population to back them. Did you know that there are close to 54 million Muslims out a population of some 90 million in Egypt? Go right ahead and keep thinking these are just brave young students shouting slogans for freedom and democracy. :har:

Meanwhile back in the world of reality, Egypt's new ruling military council has appointed an Islamist judge to head the committee drawing up a new constitution.

In the real world how is there as "islamist" judge still in office after 30 years of a dictator clearing out the judiciary?

Meanwhile on how to sound like an ass hole :shifty:

First off, am I not entitled to my own opinion without someone making me seem like an idiot?

Of course I know that people in power in Iran (I'm sure if they were Christians or Jews they'd still be a$$holes) are Muslim. Of course I know that Islams "cause" is to convert forcefully or peacefully, the people of the world to Islam (had that hurled at my head in another thread).

Your point?

But is it not logical to cheer these peoples in their attempts to rid themselves of a maniacal dictator?

If not then I think you need to get back to reality :nope:
