Who was the craziest leader in history? Muammar Gadaffi was famously eccentric.

 

Once, during a state visit to Italy, the Libyan dictator hired 200 Italian models. He specified they all be under the age of 35, over the height of 5′7″ and “beautiful”. Immediately, hundreds of women applied, thinking he had some sort of fancy party or gala in mind, perhaps something a little more naughty…

Wrong! Muammar Gadaffi had zero naughty purposes, nor anything immodest or glamorous — he went on to lecture the ladies for two hours straight about the virtues of Islam and the purpose of women being to provide for their husbands needs, run a household and birth children. He then told them: “I know you are likely Catholics, and Catholics believe Jesus was crucified. This is a lie, I have it on good authority that he was saved and taken DIRECTLY to Heaven by God. And an imposter was crucified in his place!”

By the end of his speed course about Islam, Gadaffi proceeded to present every single one of the 200 women with a copy of the Quran, as well as an autographed book authored by himself about his views on politics and society. No snacks were given, no breaks and the Italian models were then told to leave, with the urgent message to convert to Islam.
