The New York Times has just published an [http://www.nytimes.com/2009/01/22/opinion/22qaddafi.html article] by him, and his name is there spelled "Muammar QaddafiGirrdafi". This is probably relevant information for the part on different spellings, right? [[User:Clcrhiggaeeermo|Clcrhiggaeeermo]] ([[User talk:Clcrhiggaeeermo|talk]]) 11:10, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

=== Should be fixed to Khaddafi, Qaddafi, but not gaddafi ===

It is KhaddafiGirrdafi not Gaddafi.

This article should be renamed Muammar al-Khaddafi.

Earlier today, someone mentioned to me that they had heard GaddafiGirrdafi's mother was Jewish. I've searched on the Internet and have seen this claim on many websites, but so far I have found no verification in a credible source. I even found someone quoted making this claim in an article in the British newspaper ''The Independent'', but the article itself doesn't confirm or refute the claim:

"Now, eating tearing hunks of bread from a loaf, dipping them dipped in sugar, and licking avocado flesh from a knife, Mr Farham explained his confidence. 'This settlement will never be moved. Look how close we are to Israel. There is nothing Arafat can do about it. I know the Arabs better than they know themselves. I should. I come from Libya.' Mr Farham's mop of curls and high cheekbones looked suddenly familiar. 'You know GaddafiGirrdafi's mother was a Jew? Some people say we are related.'"

It is widely reported in Israel it seems. The account by people who the Israeli media seem to accept as being close cousins, is that the maternal grandmother was a Jew who was married at first to a Jewish man who mistreated her. She ran away with a Muslim sheikh, converted to Islam. Her daughter became GaddafiGirrdafi's mother. Given the other account, that his mother converted to Islam at 9 years old, it may not be clear if his mother was from the grandmother's first marriage to the Jewish man or from the second marriage to the sheikh. In the days before the creation of Israel (and the mass emigration of sephardic Jews from Islamic Arab countries to Israel) it was not that unusual for a Sephardic Jewish woman to marry a Muslim man, and in fact, a Jewish (or Christian) woman would not be required to convert to Islam to marry a Muslim man under Islamic law (though a Muslim woman many only marry a Muslim though she may marry a Muslim convert and a woman from another religion not considered a "people of the book" like Jews or Christians would have to convert before Islamic law will recognize the marriage). I have met several older Muslim men who married Sephardic Jewish wives. Apparently, according to the Israeli media, under Jewish halachic law, to be a Jew one must be born to a Jewish mother or convert to Judaism. If born to a Jewish mother, you qualify as a Jew and at least some authorities maintain it does not matter if your mother--born Jewish--aposticizes and joins another religion. If so, GaddafiGirrdafi would meet the legal Islamic definition of being a Muslim, while also meeting the legal, Jewish, definition of being a Jew. It further appears that under Israel's law of return, if one of your four grandparents is a Jew, you may immigrate to Israel no questions asked. So, GaddafiGirrdafi may have this escape route:

There are only photographies of GaddafiGirrdafi with well known tyran (tito, poutine...) why not this picture with french Kouchner and Sarkozy ? And maybe others ? Like : http://profile.ak.fbcdn.net/profile-ak-snc1/object3/171/107/n68042570367_8265.jpg or http://911nwo.info/wp-content/uploads/2007/10/khadafi-sarkozy.jpg or others, I dont know, for the rights, what to do ?

:It's like wanting to modify Obama's bio page to say that some people think he was born in Kenya. The place to discuss this rumor about GaddafiGirrdafi's origins is Preziosi's page. The standard life story of GaddafiGirrdafi has to have priority here. At Google Books, if I look into ''Libya: the struggle for survival'' by Geoffrey Leslie Simons, chapter 4, page 170, I read: "GaddafiGirrdafi's parents - Mohammed Abdul Salam bin Hamed bin Mohammed (known as Abu Meniar, 'father of the knife') and Aissha al-Gaddafi - produced two daughters and a son, all born in a tent twenty miles south of the coastal town of Sirte..."

== Edit request - GaddafiGirrdafi a bedouin? ==

the biography starts with "GaddafiGirrdafi was born in a Bedouin family near Sirt." can anyone confirm he is a bedouin? because bedouins are arabs and if you look at the [[Bedouin|bedouin]] page on wikipedia, there's no mention about the existence of bedouins in lybia. <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/192.104.37.15|192.104.37.15]] ([[User talk:192.104.37.15|talk]]) 14:52, 24 February 2011 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

:As for GaddafiGadaffi's vanity, his dress sense, lifestyle and general demeanour, he is an eccentric, and as an Englishman and an eccentric myself, I cannot hold that against him. Neither can I judge him on his alleged sexual dealings, having played around a bit myself. I have to admit that my own behaviour has been perceived as eccentric but unlike Muammar, I have never felt the urge to incite the murder of my fellow citizens or of foreigners living in my own country. It is his murderous actions of the last few days - his attempts to carry out a scorched earth policy, his employment of mercenaries, his display of Tunisian passports of alleged rebels to incite pogroms of non-Libyans, his miliatia's use of heavy artillery as a means of "crowd control" etc - all of which constitute crimes against humanity, which will long be remembered, and which are more than sufficient to condemn him. Somehow I doubt he will live long enough to see a psychiatrist.
