I don't care what things *seem* to you.

If you're going to put forth an assertion, you had best be able to back it up with facts.

Please do so.

If we know anything at all about history, it is that facts don't back anything up, even in hindsight. There are way too many factors that tend to towards conclusions that end with "on the one hand, but on the other hand." Bottom line, I'll have to disagree with your unproven assertions, just as you'll have to disagree with my unproven assertions. If you don't have the time or the inclination to look into the Islamist trend in Libyan society, and indeed in all Muslim societies, and prefer to waste your time with fawning* media accounts of the rebels, that's certainly your prerogative.

* The same media, by the way, that fawned over Che Guevara, the Bolsheviks, the Maoists, the Khmer Rouge and the Vietcong.
