Editor’s note: The following account was written for RaymondIbrahim.com by an American teacher in the Muslim world.
On May 26th, the residents of Tripoli and other areas under the control of the General National Congress (GNC) and their military wing, Libya Dawn (a coalition of Islamic militias), discovered that they were now living in a “Muslim State”. The GNC – who still refuses to recognize the elected and international recognized House of Representatives based in Beida (Eastern Libya) – has amended Article No. 1 of the Constitutional Declaration of August 2011 and declared Libya to be a “Muslim State” with Sharia law as the source of legislation.
Since then, I have discussed the issue with many locals and most were surprised and saddened by the declaration of the GNC. While I sympathized with their disappointment that Tripoli will now be governed by Sharia law, I was surprised by the extent they were shocked by the declaration of the GNC. Wasn’t the writing on the wall?
Since the Libya Dawn military alliance defeated the more secular militias for the control of Tripoli in August 2014, anybody who has been following the policies of the local authorities could easily determine that the city has slowly been drifting towards a “Muslim State” and that its official declaration was only a matter of time.
To start, there has been an increase in the number of attacks on religious sites, such as the desecration of the Christian cemetery, the destruction of the Sheikh Sayd Sufi shrine and the recent bombing of the Quds mosque (also believed to be a Sufi shrine), all under the watchful eye of the GNC. Second, there is the continued removal of statues depicting people or animals – because they could lead to some form of idolatry – across the city such as The Bride of the Sea (who was finally removed after an attempt to destroy her failed) and the statue of Omar Mukhtar (the Libyan hero who fought the Italians from 1913 to 1931).
Next, there is the recent forced segregation of Fursia park, which is now open to “women only” for two days a week and to “men only” on the other days. This new policy is preventing families from being able to enjoy the park together. Finally, the school curriculum will be changed and children will now be taught a “more radical view of Islam”, which will include the value of jihad and the importance of punishing those who do not follow Islam. There are also unconfirmed reports that the University of Tripoli will be ordered to segregate in the autumn, forcing men and women to attend classes separately.
In his recent article, “Obama’s Policies to Empower ISIS Exposed“, Raymond Ibrahim concludes that “For those able to read the plain writing on the wall, the end game between Obama and the Islamic State was always easy to discern.” The same can be said regarding the current situation in Tripoli. With all the small, but constant changes that have been imposed on the city since the Islamists’ victory last summer, the GNC’s end game was always easy to discern for those able to read the plain writing on the wall.

Thank you Obama and Hillary. You will pay for this someday if you don’t publically repent.

Seems right on schedule for Faoud Hussein’s 9 point plan. By 2016 after Burma and Libya, among many, Islam’s all out brutality stage will be ready. (As if they wern’t all out brutal this whole time, not to them I guess, no more Mr. nice guy from Islam, they are like violent versions of apocalyptic Christians).
What I don’t believe though (remember Muslims and I would include antisemites always lie) is that those Caliphate stages were hatched by Al-Quaeda. Fauoud Hussein got them from much higher up, like the OIC or the Arab League, but with so much evidence that
Iran started and helped create ISIS it is likely bigger than the Arab League. Their is no doubt that Turkey helped start the Caliphate, they all want a piece of the plan. Doesn’t BDS fit right into the timing of that ‘prophetic’ plan? The creation of BDS was formed in the awakening stage. And the renewed unbelievable intensity to create a new Muslim country, based on territory ‘seized’ about 50 years ago, in Israel? Seems to coincide with this part of the plan, Faoud Hussein wrote about in 2004.
Also in the original article in der-spiegel Seif al-Adl is mentioned as being a major contributor to Faoud Hussein’s publicizing of his plan. Hussein may be accidentally giving something away there, al-Adl is deeply connected with Iran’s creation we today call ISIS, he ran the Al-Quada in Iran division recruiting Shia ti Al-Quada under false house arrest. The Khorosan Group is a Shia branch of Al-Queda which coincides with so many ancient Islamic ‘prophecies’ the Khorasan group is where a Caliphate must start, and it is where this one did. However the Khorosoun group is Shia. It seems that there are many Muslims ethnicities and sects all separately following Hussein’s plan, which definitely puts the plan as bigger than Shia Al-Quada. The Turks, Arabs , Sunnis and Shia are in the stage of fighting for dominance before taking us on sometime in 2016.
Every single other part of the plan was on the money, I mean it may be stalled til 2017, at most, but how can anyone assume that it won’t happen. Faoud Hussein’s Jordanian ‘plans’ or governmental blueprints to be more exact, have a 1005 predictability record.
The towers fit into a Muslim prophecy too, and of course why Abu Bakr Al Baghdadi not Zarquwi, because Abu Baqr has the correct prophetic name , Abu Baqr being the first Caliph
