Well, this is interesting, and busts some sterotypes. From Dean Ahamd, Libertarian candidate for Maryand's Senate seat: Islam and Libertarianism are a Good Fit (MuslimMatters.org)

...the Qurʾānic verse is an endorsement of the fundamental principle of libertarianism, the Nonaggression Principle. This principle is articulated in the Maryland Libertarian Party Constitution (of which I am co-author): “No person or group has the right to initiate force or fraud against any other person or group to seek to attain their values.” This common sense principle is accepted by everyone in their daily lives, except for murderers, thieves, and con artists.
