A group of Italian girls show off the books they received after attending a ‘party’ given by Libyan Leader Col. Muammar Gaddafi at a villa in Rome late 16 November 2009.
The party turned into a ‘Conversion to Islam’ evening and the girls – who were told not to wear short skirts or plunging necklines – were given copies of the Koran and a signed version of his Green Book on democracy and political philosophy.Gaddafi had ordered the girls – around 500 – through a hostess agency.
