 *Political Reforms in Libya

 *Revolutionary Rhetoric or Radical Change?*



Last year, Colonel Gaddafi announced his intention to modernise the Libyan
"state of the masses". At the recent General People's Congress, however,
some of his decisions were rescinded, leaving widespread confusion among
Libyans and experts alike. *Beat Stauffer* has the details.

Islam and Politics
 *‘My fanatic is better than your fanatic’
<http://www.newageislam.com/NewAgeIslamArticleDetail.aspx?ArticleID=1315>*

I once interviewed Ayatollah Sadegh Khalkhali, the ‘laughing executioner’ of
the Iranian revolution. He had dispatched scores of women to the firing
squad simply because they wore jeans, make-up and so on. In his view,
therefore, they qualified to be seen as prostitutes. And prostitutes in his
religion corrupted people and were unworthy of being allowed to live
peacefully.

Khalkhali’s trademark high-pitched laughter was as menacing as his beady
eyes were intimidating. He had a penchant for bumping off fellow humans at
will. ‘If the people I executed were to return again, I would shoot them
again without a doubt,’ he told me. Fortunately, he was eased out over
charges of financial bungling before more helpless people were strung up
from the neck by the crane, his favourite method of snuffing out life.

As irony would have it Khalkhali was an ardent supporter of the so-called
reforms in Iran, with which former President Mohammad Khatami is often
associated. Khalkhali was a close confidante of Khatami, who, in turn, was
the cynosure of the West. -- *Jawed Naqvi*
