It's difficult to take seriously any politicians who criticize Qaddafi for advocating Islam, when each of them, claims their religion is the best, and all other non believers are infidels and doomed to hell, ......while teaching tolerance. :)  Is ANYONE Getting sick of Rev. Glenn Beck claiming the US solely a Christian Nation.? 

Interestingly The Koran seriously imitates the Bible, (which the Jews only believe the first Ten Books, and Christians both Old and New Testament,) and curiously the Bible imitates earlier Babylonian and Persian Spiritual Texts.

A visit to Italy by Muammar Qaddafi has sparked criticism from critics who objected to the Libyan leader?s staged plea for Italians to convert to Islam. 

Upon arriving in Rome on August 30, Qaddafi distributed copies of the Qu?ran to a group of women who had been recruited to meet him at the airport, and delivered an address encouraging them to consider Islam. Rocco Buttiglione, a leader of the Christian Democratic party, commented that a Christian leader would never be allowed to make a similar appeal in a predominantly Muslim country.
