#1 The sudden unexpected lurch by a country seen as very moderate towards Islamic extremism will alarm many in the West who supported the ousting of Colonel Gaddafi.

I don't think Qatar was surprised at all.

Then again, I don't think the powers that backed removing Daffy are all that surprised either. As long as the oil flows again and refugees aren't crowding onto Europe's shores, they won't care who's in charge.

And if oil doesn't flow, but refuges do, they still won't admit they were wrong.

#4 Islamic Sharia law will be the ‘basic source’ of legislation in free Libya.

Prime example of an oxymoron if I've ever seen one.

Sharia and Freedom are mutually exclusive.

#8 vice.com: Al Qaeda Plants Its Flag in Libya

The black flag in Islam is associated with jihad. This particular black flag was used by the Islamic State of Iraq (Al Qaeda in Iraq). Not coincidentally, the Benghazi rebellion leadership fought for AQ in Iraq.
