US and Europe will be Islamic soon

This is what Qadaffi thinks. From Gateway Pundit.
Watching America reports that Moammar Qaddafi thinks George Bush ought to attend the Hajj in Mecca, since Europe and America will be Muslim soon, anyway:
Libyan President Moammar Gadhafi on Monday invited Jews and Christians to take the pilgrimage to Mecca, and insisted that the followers of both religions have the right to take the Hajj, go around the Kaaba, pray between Safa and Marwa and stand at Mount Arafat.
[Editor's Note: Entrance to the Mecca has always been forbidden to non-Muslims].
In the Malian city of Timbuktu and leading a prayer with the presidents of Mali, Sierra Leone, Niger, Mauritania and Senegal before sitting down for dinner at sunset, Gadhafi asserted that this [attending the Hajj] is a right, not only of Arabs and Muslims, and that he considered Mecca "the meeting place of all peoples except heretics and the vile."
After leading the prayer, he said that he considered that "People of the Book," such as Christians and Jews "are not heretics," and he said "they believe in God and are not vile."
He also dared to suggest that the American President be allowed to take a pilgrimage around the Kaaba, saying that he should not be considered as vile or heretic, and wondering aloud, "if they [Arab leaders] consider him a vile person, why do they befriend him and eat with him?"
Gadhafi gave his assurance that Muslims don't need "the sword or the bomb to spread Islam," and expected Europe to become Muslim with a few dozen years
. He proved this by pointing to the presence of 50 million Muslims, 14,000 thousand mosques and Islamic centers, and 1,500 Islamic organizations and associations in Europe,in addition to Turkey, Bosnia and Albania joining the European Union
. He considered that "Europe and America face difficult times … as time passes they can either accept that they will become Muslim, or they must proclaim war on Muslims."

OH, my....

Ja, ja, ja. I did not think you were going to comment the photo more that the post itself. I only thought he was very ugly, BUT now that I see Gadafi, it's true, Pastorius: he looks like Bob Dylan.

Let's tell him to record his songs.

Hmmm, well, better not....

This reminds me of the Sayyid Qutb quote in Robert Spencer's Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam and The Crusades: "It is not the function of Islam to compromise with the concepts of Jahiliyya (the society of unbelievers) which are current in the world or to co-exist in the same land together with a jahili system.....Islam cannot accept any mixing with Jahiliyya. Either Islam will remain, or Jahiliyya; no half-half situation is possible".

Sort of what you'd expect from a "Muslim Brotherhood theorist", and we all know what trouble that little group has caused and also spawned. But the writings of the early years of the MB are still revered (Qutb died in 1966 for instance) and looked to by the groups inspired by and/or still part of MB.

I just don't know where Team Zissou will fit into all of this.
