Jabou,
However much you wiggle you cannot divert us from the crux of the matter at issue. Quoting the Prophet and calling Ghaddafi names cannot take away the fact that it is ARABS who lynched Black Africans!
And it is only a figment of your Arab biased imagination, at the expense of the cause of Blacks that Ghaddafi has blown up plane loads of people. If it is the current case in which three Libyans are being tried, you are way off target. Overwhelming evidence in that case points to Iran. All who have cared to follow that case with an unbiased mind know that The CIA has deliberately suppressed such Evidence. If you level an accusation, you should be at least able to proffer some evidence to back it up. As far as Arab contempt and brutality against Black people are concerned, I gave you some, which I didn't even need to do because that is abundant.
As far as Ghaddafi's ideology is concerned, it does not need to be spread to the rest of Africa. The Green Book has its basis in Libyan society (the Bedouin tribe's history and culture). As far as his people are concerned and why they have not digested his philosophy, I guess it is because of the evil inherent in Arabs that explains it all.
And yes! Mandela did break the ban on air flights to Libya and have called at various occasions for the sanctions to be lifted. So has the OAU! I guess you've been too busy trying to be an expert in other fields to follow what's been going on in Africa.
Regards,
Kabir.
