They'll be all right. Islamists staged a revolt against Gaddafi in 1995. He imprisoned them by the thousands. They then staged a prison revolt in which 200 guards were killed. Then he slaughtered them. Gaddafi's threshold for killing fellow Libyans is pretty high, possibly because of the tribal links - when you kill someone, you are potentially making an enemy of his entire tribe.
