...1. Shia 2. Kharijite 3. Sufism 4. Sunni Libya is a mainly Sunni Muslim state although in the past it has been ruled by the Shias. The Sunni Umayyad caliphate was the first Arab Muslim state to send troops into North Africa, including Libya, in the 7th century CE. The indigenous Berber tribes resisted the Arabs and Islam at first but by the 8th century most resistance had ended. The Shia Fatimid caliphate ruled over Libya from 909 to 1171. In 1171, Saladin returned control of this area to the Sunni Abbasid caliphate and Sunni Islam has been the dominant branch of Islam in Libya ever since. Although Libya is Sunni Muslim, the Islam practiced throughout North Africa is punctuated with indigenous Berber traditions. Under Gaddafi, Islam maintained a central role in the life of the country but Gaddafi still controlled religion as he controlled all aspects of Libyan life. With Gaddafi's death, the National Transitional Council has said it wishes to establish a constitutional democracy based on Islamic principles.
