RECOLLECTIONS OF MY LIFE:
COL. MU’UMMAR QADDAFI,
THE LEADER OF THE REVOLUTION.
Looking every inch the king, Qadaffi
held the informal title of "the King of Africa"
Here you have the written words of a great leader. Read them and understand him more. Realize that what they call "defiance" is standing up for his people and coming from an ethical stance unheard of in the West. Yes, he has been a dictator, but his record of killings could be no worse than those of our Western leaders who come from "democracy and freedom".

In the name of Allah, the beneficent, the merciful.
For 40 years, or was it longer, I can’t remember, I did all I could to give people houses, hospitals, schools, and when they were hungry, I gave them food; I even made Benghazi into farmland from the desert.
For 40 years, or was it longer, I can’t remember, I did all I could to give people houses, hospitals, schools, and when they were hungry, I gave them food; I even made Benghazi into farmland from the desert.
I stood up to attacks from that cowboy Reagan, when he killed my adopted orphaned daughter; he was trying to kill me, instead he killed that poor innocent child.
Then I helped my brothers and sisters from Africa with money for the African Union, did all I could to help people understand the concept of real democracy, where people’s committees ran our country, but that was never enough as some told me.
Even people who had 10 room homes, new suits and furniture, were never satisfied; as selfish as they were they wanted more, and they told Americans and other visitors, they needed “democracy,” and “freedom,” never realizing it was a cut throat system, where the biggest dog eats the rest.
But they were enchanted with those words, never realizing that in America, there was no free medicine, no free hospitals, no free housing, no free education and no free food, except when people had to beg or go to long lines to get soup.
No, no matter what I did, it was never enough for some, but for others, they knew I was the son of Gamal Abdel Nasser, the only true Arab and Muslim leader we’ve had since Salah’ a’ Deen, when he claimed the Suez Canal for his people, as I claimed Libya, for my people. It was his footsteps I tried to follow, to keep my people free from colonial domination ~ from thieves who would steal from us. Now, I am under attack by the biggest force in military history, my little African son, Obama wants to kill me, to take away the freedom of our country, to take away our free housing, our free medicine, our free education, our free food, and replace it with American style thievery, called “capitalism.”
But all of us in the Third World know what that means ~ it means corporations run the countries, run the world, and the people suffer!
So, there is no alternative for me; I must make my stand, and if Allah wishes, I shall die by following His path, the path that has made our country rich with farmland, with food and health, and even allowed us to help our African and Arab brothers and sisters to work here with us, in the Libyan Jammohouriyah,
I do not wish to die,
but if it comes to that,
to save this land,
my people,
all the thousands who are all my children,
then so be it.
Let this testament be my voice to the world ~
that I stood up to crusader attacks of NATO,
stood up to cruelty,
stood up to betrayal,
stood up the West and its colonialist ambitions,
and that I stood with my African brothers,
my true Arab and Muslim brothers,
as a beacon of light,
when others were building castles.
I lived in a modest house, and in a tent;
I never forgot my youth in Sirte.
I did not spend our national treasury foolishly, and like Salah’a’deen, our great Muslim leader, who rescued Jerusalem for Islam, I took little for myself…
In the West, some have called me “mad,” “crazy,” but they know the truth and continue to lie.
In the West, some have called me “mad,” “crazy,” but they know the truth and continue to lie.
They know that our land is independent and free,
not in the colonial grip,
that my vision, my path,
is, and has been clear and for my people
and that I will fight to my last breath to keep us free.
May Allah almighty help us to remain faithful and free.

Noor,
ReplyDeleteQaddafi said many things, and many of those things seemed brave, honest and embarrassing many of leaders in the Middle East. Revolutionary as they may seem, but in my personal opinion they were the kind of wisdom that sometimes comes out of the mouth of a fool. Yes, he has all the time acted like the "fool of the village".
Qaddafi might be a lesser evil compared to other evils, but he is evil. There are things he said you never heard of, and they proved that he was a MAD man.
"I did all I could to give people houses, hospitals, schools, and when they were hungry, I gave them food; I even made Benghazi into farmland from the desert."
The above sounds like words coming from the mouth of a monarch who owns the land and the resources giving a charity to his people while in fact the land and resources belong to the people. He is no less corrupt than King Abdullah and the whole Saudi family who named the country after their tribe.
I know there is lots of suspicious things about the current war in Libya, and I support a cease to what is happening there right now. Outsiders should have not interfered with their so-called "precise" weapons that killed many civilians. Nonetheless, the manner in which Qaddafi re-acted was also wrong.
He does not deserve a defense, but for the sake of comparison, both sides of the Libyan issue should be covered even if takes mentioning things which are in favor of him.
Do you know that Qaddafi half-Jew, and I think this is where he got his madness.
Obama is half white or half black. I guess that is where he got his stupidity.
