66. Libya watching fools of Allah
REPORTAGE While they dismiss any potential recovery Islamist rebels keep an eye on the figures of resistance, as Abdelhakim Belhaj.

In his mosque Ben Achour, an upscale neighborhood of Tripoli, Sheikh El Alhadi Algmati seems relieved. The fall of the regime was rid of a bulky visitor: Saadi Gaddafi. No one apparently knows why, the third son of the deposed dictator was accustomed to come to this mosque. And this summer, when the rebels approached the gates of the Libyan capital, he had an idea: create a madrasa (religious school) Islamist Salafist of obedience. "It is incomprehensible, the regime had always fought against the radicals. I guess Qaddafi tried as a last resort to rally to repel the rebels, " says El Alhadi Algmati. The work of the madrasa have never been finally completed. "It's just fine. Our mosque is not an extremist, we have always practiced, as virtually all Libyans, a moderate Islam. "

Can we rule out a takeover by the Islamists in Libya? Undoubtedly meet the revolutionaries. "These are young people, civilians, who launched this movement with peaceful demonstrations. No one will steal your revolution. If the Islamists ever arrive at the head of the country, we get rid of it as we got rid of Qaddafi, " Abdul ensures Oubashit, a doctor of 29 years back to Tripoli after caring for five months, the rebels at the border Tunisia.

The thuwar, who launched the armed struggle against the Libyan army, also rejects collusion with Islamist movements. "All these stories about Al-Qaeda are tall tales told Gaddafi that worry the West. Our ranks are trained both students, engineers and traders that former soldiers of the forces of Gaddafi and, yes, some Islamists. But we are all fighting for the same reasons and goals, " explains the "Colonel" Yahya El Guti, who belongs to the katiba ("Brigade") in Benghazi, the former rebel capital located in the east.
