NTC leader: Islam will be main source of legislation in new Libya

The head of the Libyan National Transitional Council (NTC), Mustafa Abdel-Jalil, refuted the existence of any extreme Islamists inside the NTC, saying Islamic sharia will be the main source of legislation in the new Libya. In an interview with Algerian Echorouk newspaper issued on Monday, the Libyan interim leader indicated that 90 percent of the Libyans are moderate Muslims, and he further specified that Islamic sharia will be the main source of legislation in the new Libya. Jalil also said he would like to reaffirm to the whole world that there are no Islamist trends among the members of the NTC, and the NTC has nothing to do with extremist voices heard here and there.
