According to an article at the Heritage Foundation, the new internationally recognized transitional government of Libya has released a draft version of Libya’s new constitution.
A copy of what is reported to be the draft constitution is available for viewing on their website.
Here is a brief excerpt from the article:
But despite the Lockean tenor of much of the constitution, the inescapable
clause lies right in Part 1, Article 1: “Islam is the Religion of the State, and
the principal source of legislation is Islamic Jurisprudence (Sharia).”
