Another Day in Libya

It has been reported on the authority of Libya's interim justice minister that Saif-al-Islam, son of Colonel Muammar Qaddhafi has been captured. He'll be kept safe some where till time is ripe to hand him over to the properly formed government. The ICJ(International Court of Justice) at Hague says that he should be rendered to them to stand trial for war crimes during Libyan uprising.

Time changes so fast. So much history has been generated in from of our eyes. You get historical indigestion.

Just a few years ago, no just a few months ago, one could rehearse Libyan stories in one's mind. Stories of a Muslim country with little room for Islam. A young man appearing in Fajr (morning) Prayers for a few days was hinted to go and enjoy life. Same about a guy trying to keep beard in young age. Same for a  technician showing any commitment to his craft. Every one was though as a threat to one wonders whom. But in every case the action was swift and many times chilly. At the height of the Libyan uprising your poor Alig tried to watch a YouTube video speech by Colonel Qaddhafi. Apparently the whole speech was around two hours long, which could not have been endured by any volunteer, but what came out across plainly that it was more of a bark than a speech.

Strange it is for in not a too distant past he was a hero to many people.

Verily Allah (SWT) has power over everything.
