Because they won't have it for long. Once the rebels finally stop warring with each other to decide who gets power, they will implement Sharia Law (its even in the recently drafted constitution - even says Islam is the official religion of the country)
Wait a tic. The NTC Hasn't released a draft consitution, yet. I imagine they would wait until fighting is over and they can get reps from Tripoli and Southern Libya.
This brings into question the validity of this 'Pre Released Draft Constituion'. Possibly a well crafted fake by fearmongers of Sharia Law.
Note this is the TRANSITIONAL stage Constituion, not the constitution for Libya Post-Ghaddafi.
Though I understand why you show some concern, Sharia has become a hot button word that the media have transformed to create emotions of alarm. Sharia law actually is more complex because it is both a Religious and Secular Law aspects that come into interpretation based on the people issuing said laws.
Note this from said Document In Question
"Based on the legitimacy of this Revolution, and in response to the desire of the Libyan people and their hopes to achieve democracy, establish the political multitude and the estate of institutions, to create a society wherein all of us can live stability, tranquility and justice; a society that can raise by science, culture, welfare, and health and that can bring up the new generations according to the Islamic spirit of love of home.
In the hope of seeking a society of citizen, justice, equality, cooming progress and prosperity wherein there is no place for injustice, tyranny, despotism, explotation and dictatorship."
Don't get caught up in jerk reaction condemnation.
You should note http://themoornextdoor.wordpress.co.....11/08/20/6943/
"The State shall guarantee for non-Moslems the freedom of practising [sic] religious rights and shall guarantee respect for their systems of personal status."
"It is a relatively progressive document, and makes reference (especially in section two which functions very much like a bill of rights) to grievances rooted in Qadhafite abuses, for example the specific mention to protecting the privacy of phone lines or the “sanctity of the home” from arbitrary entrance of use by the state. Many Arab constitutions include similar language on the people’s welfare and so on but the TNC’s draft provides a wide range of relatively well defined protections for citizens"
Granted not exactly the American Consitution it leaves alot of room for progress.

That would explain it, clearly a biased source site. I'd take anything posted there with a large grain of salt.
