The Chairperson of The National Transitional Council of Libya, Mustafa Abdul Jalil, in a celebration of the “liberation of Libya”, held on October 23rd, said Libya would take Sharia law as its basic source of legislation; laws that contradict the teachings of Islam would be revoked, and restrictions on the number of wives Libyan men could take would be lifted.
As we declared before, the people of Libya did not revolt against the dictatorship of Gadhafi to enslave themselves to the misogynous dictatorship of Political Islam! The recent statements from the Chairperson of the NTC reveal the reactionary nature of this institution more than ever, and emphasise that the people of Libya have to continue the revolution until they get rid of all reactionary forces and establish the direct ruling organs of all citizens based on secularism, freedom, and equality. Furthermore, the Western governments must be held accountable and attacked by public opinion for supporting the NTC. It seems as if one must remind them that Political Islam, whether “benign” or anti-Western, is a reactionary, misogynous, and anti-freedom movement.
The Worker-communist Party of Iran calls upon all freedom-loving people of the world to strongly condemn the scandalous statements of the chairperson of the NTC, all attempts for establishing an Islamic rule in Libya, and the concessionary position of the Western governments towards Political Islam; likewise to advocate the separation of religion from the state, unconditional equality between men and women, individual and civil liberties, and direct rule of all citizens in Libya.
