Jesus not really crucified, Libya's Gaddafi says
2007-04-02
Libyan leader Colonel Muammar Gaddafi has told a mass prayer meeting for Muslims in Niger that Jesus was not really nailed to the cross but that another man who resembled him was crucified in his place. "It is not correct to say that," Colonel Gaddafi said of Jesus' crucifixion, according to a Sunday Herald-Sun report. "Another man resembling Jesus was crucified in his place."

Colonel Gaddafi also told listeners that it was a mistake to believe that Christianity was a universal faith alongside Islam. "There are serious mistakes - among them the one saying that Jesus came as a messenger for other people other than the sons of Israel," Reuters quoted him as saying. "Christianity is not a faith for people in Africa, Asia, Europe and the Americas," he said.

Colonel Gaddafi, who is seeking to expand his influence in Africa, said his arguments came from the Koran. "It is a mistake that another religion exists alongside Islam. There is only one religion which is Islam after Mohammed," he said in the sermon.

"All those believers who do not follow Islam are losers," he added. "We are here to correct the mistakes in the light of the teachings of the Koran."

Of course, since the muslim call to prayer includes:
Come to prayer.
Come to Success.
There is none worthy of being worshiped except Allah.

#11  Kaddafy is just repeating the koran. If Jesus did rise from the dead, then it would would no longer make him another prophet, but above mohammed, since ole mo couldn't pull off that feat.

koran 4:157 And because of their saying: We slew the Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, Allah's messenger - they slew him not nor crucified him, but it appeared so unto them; and lo! those who disagree concerning it are in doubt thereof; they have no knowledge thereof save pursuit of a conjecture; they slew him not for certain.

#10  The heresey that Jesus did not die on the cross, was a common one in the 6th-7th century. I want to say monophysite, but I can't be sure.

It is my personal opininon that islam started out as some sort of weird jewish or monophysite christian sect that got taken over by a charismatic charlatan. It would certainly explain the historical antipathy that muzzies have for jews.

#9  Actually Spot, I understood things differntly. I thought the Muslims believed Jesus was put on the cross, they just thought of him as a prophet and no the Messiah. Wise guy rather than son of God.

#6  This is all standard muzzie doctrine. Nothing new here and the article should have pointed that out. Besides, who cares what Goofy says anyway?

#5  I've heard this theory before. My theory is old Mo spread this lie so his own status as allan's prophet could be exalted. I'd like to ask Q'Daffy one thing: Moses gave us the Ten Commandments, Jesus gave us the Sermon on the Mount and the Golden Rule, so what value did Mohammed add?

Oh, that's right. He said we can't drink beer and can't eat bacon but that it's OK to treat our women like cattle and decapitate those with whom we disagree. Thank you, Q'Daffy. Thank you, Mo. /sarcasm


"Christianity is not a faith for people in Africa, Asia, Europe and the Americas," he said.

Christianity is the religion of intelligent, educated people whereever and whoever they are who prefer the love of Jesus over the superstition concocted by the warlord Mohammed.

#4  Did you know that Saddam's double was hanged? Hitler lived out his life in Brazil (or was it Argentina?) And now we find out from Daffy that Jesus was not crucified - and he was there!

Imagine the shock that Jews, Muslims and the atheists will feel when they are told that Jesus is not the Messiah. How will they handle it! Why has no one told them this before.

I'm sure this will have a devasting impact on Christians everywhere.

#2  Q 4:155-158 give the Islamic doctrine on this. There were active Christian sects in 6th century that believed that the person on the cross was a virtual Jesus rather than a real Jesus or something similar.

Dude, you're mixing up the Bible with "Life of Brian".

I can see him signing a big L on his forehead when he said this.
