...Libyan Moslem Brüderhood Grand Mufti since 2012. Issued a fatwa forbidding Libyan women from marrying foreign men. Issued a "fatwa against a UN Commission on the Status of Women's report because it urged governments to protect women and girls against violence" Aligned with the GNC govt...has condemned the ISIS suicide kaboom on the High National Elections Commission (HNEC) that left 16 people killed and others maimed.

which targeted the electoral commission," he said in his weekly program on Tanasuh TV on Wednesday evening.

"We strongly condemn this treacherous attack," he reacted, adding that "the attack targets the entire Libyan people who are looking forward to the elections to end their suffering."
The Mufti also accused Khalifa Haftar
...Self-proclaimed Field Marshal, served in the Libyan army under Muammar Qadaffy, and took part in the coup that brought Qadaffy to power in 1969. He became a prisoner of war in Chad in 1987. While held prisoner, he and his fellow officers formed a group hoping to overthrow Qadaffy. He was released around 1990 in a deal with the United States government and spent nearly two decades in the United States, gaining US citizenship. In 1993, while living in the United States, he was convicted in absentia of crimes against the Jamahiriya and sentenced to death. Haftar held a senior position in the anti-Qadaffy forces in the 2011 Libyan Civil War. In 2014 he was commander of the Libyan Army when the General National Congress (GNC) refused to give up power in accordance with its term of office. Haftar launched a campaign against the GNC and its Islamic fundamentalist allies. His campaign allowed elections to take place to replace the GNC, but then developed into a civil war. Guess you can't win them all...and his supporters of undermining the electoral process.

Dignity Operation accuses its political opponents of being murderous Moslems and affiliates of Moslem Brüderbund and the Islamic Fighting Group.
Last week, warlord Khalifa Haftar said "the elections are a play and the army is the real warranty for the Libyan people to enjoy a decent life."
