He died as a hero, Allah will bless him, oil diggers will be punished. — Muammar Gaddafi

"My brother! You are my brother for the rest of my life!"

"Nothing would please me more, but who else would pump the oil that we need? God damn America."

"Americans are good people. They have no aggressions against us and they like us as we like them. They must know I dont hate them. I love them.… I hear it is a complex society inside. Many Americans dont know about the outside world. The majority have no concern and no information about other people. They could not even find Africa on a map. I think Americans are good, but America will be taken over and destroyed from the inside by the Zionist lobby. The Americans do not see this. They are getting decadent. Zionists will use this to destroy them."

"During my term in AU, I will initiate an organised compensation claim for Africa and I will fight for a greater voice for Africa in the United Nations Security Council. If they do not want to live with us fairly, it is our planet and they can go to another planet."

"Irrespective of the conflict with America, it is a human duty to show sympathy with the American people and be with them at these horrifying and awesome events which are bound to awaken human conscience. When I was five, my brother was shot by an Israeli soldier, since then I have been dedicated to uniting the Arab countries throughout the Middle East and retain a trade flow with the west."

"We [Libyans] support the Palestinian resistance, and all the world supports this. We support their just cause, but we are against terrorism."
