President Mua’mmar al-Gaddafi of Libya, in one
of his habitual outbursts, called upon the Jews
and the Christians to circumambulate the Ka’abah
in Makkah, as Muhammad (saw) was sent as
Messenger for all mankind. He continued saying
that as Ka’abah is the House of God, so everyone
has a right to make tawaf around the
Ka’abah and not only the Arabs and Muslims. He
did not disclose though, how many Jews and
Christians had approached him, expressing desire
for circumambulating the Ka’abah.
The
President was addressing the assembly of the
Africans in Mali on the occasion of the birth of
the Prophet. He said that the Bible is
fabricated and that Jesus is the Prophet of the
Israelites, and was not sent to Europe or Africa
or America. It is incumbent upon the Jews, he
insisted, to follow Jesus, for if Moses was
there in the times of Jesus, he would have been
a Christian. The speech of Gaddafi was published
in Al-Jamahiriyya paper in Libya on
11-4-2006.
Gaddafi said that the Prophet Muhammad (saw) is
the Prophet of the people in Scandinavia, in
Europe, in America, in Asia and in Africa.
Therefore, whoever attacks the personality of
the Prophet is being taught a distorted
curriculum, as in Scandinavia, promoting hatred. |
