Islamists aren't stupid. They're not going to try for total power in Libya straight after a despotic dictator. There are social/economic problems and 40 years of repressed rage to be worked out - better to let a moderate, cohesive government get the country back onto an even keel and then try convincing the people that make-believe chop-off-hands is the important stuff.

Blech. So far better than what was in place before, sad that that's all to be said right now.
