    Women disappointed by Gaddafi "party"

    ROME (Reuters) - Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi, in Rome for a U.N. food summit, spent several hours in the company of 200 Italian women recruited by an agency and tried to convert them to Islam, Italian media reported on Monday.

    "Seeking 500 attractive girls between 18 and 35 years old, at least 1.70 meters (5 foot, 7 inches) tall, well-dressed but not in mini-skirts or low cut dresses," read the ad by the Hostessweb agency and quoted in Italy's Corriere dell Sera newspaper in its story.

    Some 200 women showed up at a Rome villa, having been told they would receive 60 euros ($90) and "some Libyan gifts." Among them was an undercover reporter for Italian news agency ANSA, who took photos and described the evening's proceedings.

    Most had expected to attend a party, according to ANSA, but instead were invited to wait in a large hall until the arrival of Gaddafi, who gave them a lesson on Libya and the role of women in Islam.

    After around two hours the lesson, including questions and answers through an interpreter, concluded with an exhortation by Gaddafi to "convert to Islam" and with each woman given a copy of the Koran and a book of sayings by Gaddafi.

    "It was anything but the VIP party we were expecting, they didn't even give us a glass of water," one woman told ANSA.

    Others said they were offended by what they considered anti-Christian aspects of his lesson, including a claim that Jesus was not crucified but that "someone who looked like him" was put to death in his place.

    The Libyan ambassador told ANSA that Gaddafi was planning other similar evenings during his three-day stay for the summit.

    The Islamists on this forum have a tendency to read X, and understand Y.

    No. I didn't say that prostitutes can not change their lives.
    Sure, I think that prostitutes are more likely to change their lives than terrorists.

    What I said is:
    Yet, If I were to start a philosophy club I wouldn't be too proud and brag about the quality of my club if it was full of prostitutes.

    The fact that prostitutes and rap singers and couple of socially rejected westerns join Islam, was not something that I would have taken pride in, if I was a muslim. Problem is, I'm not. So ThraXed can be proud of the new Muslim x-prostitutes, and I can mock him.

    Get it?
    Good :D

    Yes , Even prostitutes can convert and change their lives . And I don't find it funny.

    By the way there are few of porn stars(prostitutes) who tryed or joined the politics .
    Ex-Porn Star to Run for Mayor of Milan -- She entered politics in 1987 when she won a seat in the Chamber of Deputies, the lower house of Parliament, on the Radical party ticket

    Fans of porn star Stormy Daniels are drafting her to run for the U.S. Senate seat in Louisiana

    Peter Bond(porn star) is a candidate for the liberal Free Democrats Party (FDP), and hopes to be the first actor elected to parliament

    I understand the same redemption extends to current porn webmasters... they can start devout Muslim websites and amass faithful followers who will listen to their religious instruction despite anything Mohammed might have said about such carnal people. My congratulations to you for being so open minded about whose standard you'll bear.

    Do you talk about "porn webmasters" who converted to Islam ? if yes then you should learn what does converting mean, after they converts they are called muslims. And as each muslim they will worship only one God and they will believe that Muhammad(pbuh) is the messenger and prophet of God(Allah).

    What standarts are you talking about ?

    Nope. Not discussing EX-porn webbies that converted, it's the other way around. Referring to a current porn guy that also runs the Muslim site in your avatar.
    Seems an unusual leader for Muslims to follow, but again, congrats on your newfound religious liberality.

    Yes I do, and yes I did. I take it you aren't aware of the porn connection? ROFL. Wonder if the rest of the people sporting that avatar are similarly unaware.
