Libya  |
|
| DESCRIPTION | Libya
has been ruled single-handedly by Muammar al-Qadhafi, who is perhaps
best known for his association with other radical regimes and terrorist
groups. Qadhafi has attempted to appease Muslims by broadening Islamic
law. Religion: Muslim 96.50%, Christian 3.00% Ideology: Islam/Military dictatorship Head of State: Revolutionary Leader Col. Muammar Abu Minyar al-Qadhafi Libyans are off limits for evangelism. A number of expatriates are seeking to reach Libyans, but they are hindered by the country’s secret police network. Christian literature may enter only through secretive means. There are very few Libyan believers; almost all Christians are foreign workers and the government strictly monitors them. There is a limit of one church per denomination per city. Despite the restrictions, VOM makes the gospel message available in Libya though radio and the Internet. |
