VACATIONS IN MORDOR
Colonel Gaddafi invited Christians & Jews to visit scenic Mecca in Saudi Arabia, an apartheid state run by a religious Gestapo. "Gaddafi challenged Muslim religious leaders to allow George Bush to enter the main mosque in Mecca & pray there" — hopefully not during the annual human stampede.
This went over well with the Muslim Brotherhood, who said "We are used to Gaddafi's crazes as he makes edicts as he pleases," pointing out the idea was against Islamic law, & suggesting Gaddafi only said it to provoke the Saudis, with whom he has "tense relations," probably because he tried to assassinate Crown Prince Abdullah.
Gaddafi said world conflict is caused by Christians & Jews who haven't figured out that they're really Muslims: "Those who slandered the Prophet in Scandinavia were wrong because they did not consider Mohammed as their prophet due to wrong teachings that incite hatred." He added that Muslims wouldn't dream of defaming another religion: "They respect Jesus, Mary & all others."
Gaddafi also called for "reviewing" the Bible, which is "false & phony." Speaking in Timbuktu, he promised to build a canal for the region, perhaps like his Great Man-Made River fiasco, which ended up as cost-effective as using bottles of Perrier for irrigation.

Darn! At the very least, within all that lunatic rant of his, he had a little kernel of common sense in there. Why not allow others to vist Mecca? Of course, Islam being such a defensive, thin-skinned and insecure religion, they can't expose their inner workings to the disinfectant of close up scrutiny (meteorite worship and the like).

"Wrong teachings that incite hatred." Because Christians and Jews riot in the streets, beat and circumcise their women and blow themselves up every day.

Noone brings the crazy like Gaddafi, but I've always wondered if he's actually as nuts as he appears to be or if he's 'crazy like a fox'. His antics distract from the fact of his brutal dictatorship (and terror support, etc. etc.), and I have to admit he's hard not to find amusing at times. A wolf in clown's clothing, as it were.
