Gadhafi says Muslims should learn from Jews regarding national struggle

Libya's leader Kadhafi claims he is telling Islamic separatists from the Philippines to Chechnya to give up the struggle and integrate with their neighbors. This new message of respectability is being carried by his most trusted ambassador, his son Seif al-Islam al-Kadhafi.

According to Kadhafi, Chechens, for instance, will be better off being part of a powerful Russia than forming a separate Caucasian state. "We told them, 'We want Muslims to be in the Russian government'."

Seif al-Islam told a meeting at London's Royal Institute for International Affairs that Muslims should learn from Jews. "Jews in America do not ask for a separate state. That's why they are stronger. They have influence in a very influential superpower. The Jewish model in America is a good model for Muslims all over the world," reported The Daily Telegraph.

Rather than trying to carve out a Palestinian state alongside Israel, Kadhafi showed a slide depicting his idea of a Jewish-Arab "Federal Republic of the Holy Land", comprising five regions and Jerusalem as a "city state".

When questioners asked if it was practical, Seif al-Islam Kadhafi said that Israel would first have to admit all of the Palestinian refugees, and then elections would be held to decide who would lead the new federated state. If Israel refused, the world should exert economic and political pressure.

Seif al-Islam al-Kadhafi: try to destroy the system from within

Kadaffi seems to be using the playbook of American liberals. A Long March through the institutions so the system is destroyed from within.

Smart guy. A potent strategy.

But, imho, not one capable of playing in the fields of Palestinian hatred that have been so well planted for generations.

One that hates someone to the point of utter destruction can't abide being second fiddle. Hatred has to much pride in it!

All right! Who gave Kadhafi a smart pill? He was dangerous enough stupid. If he starts fighting smart we are all heading for some very scary waters.

A massive gapping hole in the side of his head from a .308 mercury filled hollowpoint launched down range from 2 miles would be a nice thing.

Interesting.

Interesting, and somewhat frightening. I hope that after 9/11, enough Westerners see the Muslims for what they are, and realize that this is just an enemy infiltration tactic. I sure would like to see some appropriate governmental actions that would make me think that they're seeing it this way, though. I also hope I'm not whistling in the dark. :-(

Bumping a few who might find this interesting; apologies if you're already on Knighthawk's list. He gets a lot (and I mean *a lot*) of interesting material from European sources that I wouldn't see otherwise.

IMHO the only thing this weenie has going for him is that he ran faster than his sister to the bomb shelter when President Ronald Regan tried to put a Mk 83 in "Seif al-Islam al-Kadhafi's" old man's @ss........

Stay Safe !

My brain hurts.

Yep, push for a vision of a Jeffersonian pluralistic democracy, and then when the numbers tip, take over the government, and go from there. It shouldn't take more than a generation for the region to be totally cleansed. Mugabe of Zimbabwe could be retained as a consultant. He probably needs the money, since the tax base he controls has eroded considerably.

Muuamar has changed medications, again.
