Looks like Obama's handling of the Arab Spring really needs to be examined to see how what began as protests for Democracy has turned into Muslim control of governments and al-Qaeda base camps. |
from the end of the article you linked:
Despite concerns over the growing audacity of Salafist-jihadist groups,
the victory of secular parties in elections in July had created a measure of optimism about Libya's future.
Benotman tells CNN the reality is that
a large majority of Libyans,
including the majority of Islamists,
are opposed to al Qaeda's ideology of global jihad. He predicts a backlash against the perpetrators of the attack.
"People will curse them for this," he told CNN.
i don't think it's muslim controlled govts you have to worry about, but govts that are in agreement with al qaeda. libya isn't one of those.
