I know a lot of Muslims.  I have lived and worked among them.  Individually they seem to have the same hopes, dreams and aspirations as anyone else.  The problem that they have is that they don't want to stand up to to these fanatics among them and risk getting themselves killed while doing so. 

Qaddafi was a tyrant and I was glad to see him go.  But, I remember a story that one of my Libyan friends told me about how he handled the problem of religious fanaticism very early in his reign.  It was said that he rounded up all the professional Imams and loaded them onto transport aircraft.  When they were over the desert, the jump doors were opened and they were told that it was their time to enter Heaven. I don't know if this story is true, but I do believe that the man who told it to me believed it was true. 

Qaddafi left the Mosque doors open for prayers and any lay person could lead prayers but no one could be paid to preach.  I believe that this was part of his Green Book.

Perhaps the new Libyan government would last a bit longer if the new Imams would be offered another tour of the desert.
