This comes to no shock to anyone observing the situation in Libya. For all his faults, Col. Mumar Qaddafi was an enemy of Islamists. He allied with the US against AL-Qaeda until our recent betrayal. Thanks to the US/NATO, they smell blood in Libya and are preparing to take advantage of the situation.
Largely drawn from the devout educated middle classes and university campuses in Tripoli and Benghazi, the Libyan Muslim Brotherhood was founded in the mid-1950s.
Islamist opposition to the Libyan regime gathered force in the late 1980s, as part of a wider Islamic awakening or “Sahwa” in the region and in reaction to what many saw as an attempt by Gadhafi to hijack and interpret Islam for his own purposes.
While jihadists launched a brief but unsuccessful campaign to overthrow Gadhafi in the 1990s, the Brotherhood focused much of its efforts on clandestine preaching and social welfare efforts in Libya

Why many prominent Republicans are supporting this action is a mystery to me. Clearly Barack Hussein Obama is assisting the Islamic Imperialist agenda. Our side should be hammering him on this, not enabling it. Obama’s Presidency could be destroyed by revelations that Libyan rebels bare affiliated with AL-Qaeda. This is treason since many of these rebels killed Americans in Iraq and Afghanistan.
If Qaddafi falls, the Muslim Brotherhood could come to power as it appears they are in Libya. Clearly a North African Caliphate is in the making, thanks to Obama/Clinton’s insane foreign policy.
