Islam and Politics *Political Reforms in Libya <http://www.newageislam.com/NewAgeIslamArticleDetail.aspx?ArticleID=1314>*
*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 At the recent General People's Congress, however, some of his decisions were rescinded, leaving widespread confusion among Libyans and experts alike.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.

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* 1 Comments More..<http://www.newageislam.com/NewAgeIslamArticleDetail.aspx?ArticleID=1315> -- Syed M.
