Wednesdays Independent, Kim Sengupta again - " the protest movement is a complex and composite body. While the intelligentsia in Benghazi talk passionately about democracy, civil rights and pluralism, a strong motivation for many on the front line is unwavering faith in Islam and the belief that gaddafi and his henchmen are apostates..amidst scant evidence of organised al-Qa'ida activity the regime has focused on Darnah," etc..so anti-gaddafi does seem o.k to me and like Dbachman says , it is how they are in fact described.
