Were it not for the deficiencies of reporting on Libya in the mainstream Western media, the appearance of al-Qaeda flags in the capital of the anti-Qaddafi rebellion should come as no surprise. As shown by the captured al-Qaeda personnel records known as the “Sinjar Records,” the eastern Libyan heartland of the anti-Qaddafi rebellion was one of the major sources of the foreign recruits that joined al-Qaeda in Iraq to fight against American and coalition forces.
One commenter at the Corner asks a good question:
“Is a flag with those words printed on it really universally considered to be an “al-Qaeda flag”? Muslims have been saying them forever.”
Also, most of the “Islamists” in that photo are clean -shaven. Pretty bad Islamists.

Come and tell me that a year from now.
Is it just me, or is libertariansaresmarter in reality one of SDA’s biggest trolls and a knee-jerk gainsayer of pretty much everything posted here?
@micheal H
it’s a libertarian what do you expect?
Libertarians think that a woman marrying a toaster is a wonderful excersize of freedom and liberty. They have no morals or ethic’s no code to witch they ascribe to ….if you smearing sh!t all over you car and rive around ..they agree with that they think iti s good right and just ….and pretty soon they wil be siding with kids who are brain washed into having sex with old men ..you watch it will all be in the name of freedom and liberty….they beelive in nothing witch is to say they will beleive in anything!!
No paul we have lots of morals/ethics we just don’t use the government to enforce it upon other people. End of story.
LIBERALtarians?????
The fact remains one tyrant is gone and another has taken his place.
We should be worried.
OK: are you talking about the fellow who talked about implementing Sharia? He stepped down and was replaced by an electrician.
The good news is that the shortlist for Libyan security list contains no Islamists, which really doesn’t speak to Islamist strength.

Most important takeaway from the Libyan affair: “Give up your nuclear program, and we will come in and bomb you.”
And on that, you are 100% correct Kate.
Why can’t we just accept that these people hate everything about us and Christianity in general. All the ass kissing we can muster will not change the end result. Libia , Egypt, Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, Iran, Pakistan and others will never be our friends. Why would we even want them as friends ?.
