    Religion: 

    To understand the people of Libya , you must understand Islam-for it rules their lives, education, way of living, language, and hopes for the future. Islam means "submission". People who follow Islam are called Muslims. Islam has two sects: the Sunnis make up the majority and the Shiites the minority. Most Libyans are Sunni Muslims.
    Muslims worship Allah. to Muslims Allah can't be fully Known-he is both compassionate and merciless. Because Islam is a practical religion with clear rules for living and worship, it became popular with the people of Africa for whom religion had often been hard to understand.
    When Arabs came to Libya in the seventh century to spread the word of Allah, they converted many Berbers of northern Libya to Islam. The Arab conquest also brought new legal and governmental systems to north Africa. Today the vast majority of Libyan Arabs follow Sunni Muslim rites. There are also a few Christian minorities, most of whom are Roman Catholics there is one church near Palace Hotel in Tripoli.

They are found mainly clustered around the urban areas of Tripoli and Banghazi. They also are among the Bedouin tribes in the desert. Some Bedouins move with their herds, searching for grazing land. They roam in the summer, then settle for the winter.
