The growing influence of radical Islamists in Tripoli since Libya Dawn forces took control of the city has become clearer with changes to curricula in schools.While Islamic studies have always been a standard part of the curriculum in Libyan schools, social media has been abuzz in the past week over the shift towards teaching more radical views of Islamic beliefs in secondary school religious classes. A worksheet circulating on the internet suggests that students are to be taught the value of jihad as well as about the importance of punishing those who choose not to follow Islam.
