The Libyan people are attached to Islam, as a religion and legislation... As such the National Transitional Council recommends that the (next) congress make Sharia the main source of legislation.And this should not be subject to a referendum, NTC spokesman Saleh Daroub told journalists in Tripoli.Libyans are on track to vote on Saturday for a General National Congress, which will be tasked with appointing a new government and a constituent authority.The constitution needs to be approved in a national referendum, under a transition framework laid out by the NTC which took power from slain leader Moamer Kadhafi last year.
