My Way News - Gadhafi hosts Italian women, tries to convert them

ROME (AP) - Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi has hosted a soiree in Rome for some 200 young Italian women, but instead of the party they expected the women were given a lecture on Islam and copies of the Quran, a news report said Monday.

At least they got paid.

A reporter for Italy's ANSA news agency went undercover with the women, who were hired for euro50 ($75) by a modeling agency for the event Sunday evening. Journalist Paola Lo Mele said the women assembled at a hotel, where some where left behind because they were not tall enough or dressed modestly enough.

Those accepted were taken to a villa, where Gadhafi lectured them on women's rights and religion, and urged them to convert to Islam.

"All the girls expected a party with a gala dinner," Lo Mele told her agency. Instead, "he made a 45-minute speech on Islam and women's role in Islam. It was a bit of an indoctrination session."

Lo Mele took pictures before and after the event, showing the women carrying Qurans they received as gifts.

Gadhafi was in Rome to attend a U.N. summit on world hunger.

I don't see the problem... I mean, hasn't Rome had it coming for a while? Can you say "Crusades"?

Seems like kind of a waste of time and $$ but who am I to judge. I've paid women way more than $75 just to show them how average I am in the sack.

Can't blame the guy for trying, it's a pretty tough sell to women...
