A scholars' group in Libya urged the army, police and citizens in general to stand against the Ansar Al-Sharia group and their diktat.
In a statement released Monday, the Libya Scholars League condemned the Takfiri group's calls for killing Muslims who do not adopt their thoughts, MENA news agency reported.
