Youth play a game of pool as Colonel Muammar el-Qadaffi is shown on Al Jazeera in a cafe in Darna, Libya, Saturday, March 7, 2011. An old Ottoman capital, with a panoramic view of the Mediterranean Sea, Darna has long enjoyed the reputation as one of Libya’s most pious cities and, in the words of a Wikileaks cable, “a wellspring for foreign fighters in Iraq.” But in an echo of neighboring Egypt and Tunisia, where Islamist groups have collaborated with secular counterparts, Islamist leaders contend that the old dichotomies of the Arab world – either dictatorship or Islamists, either repression or chaos – have begun to crumble. |
