"---During a two-day visit to Italy in August 2010 Gaddafi upset his hosts by stating that Europe should convert to Islam. It was during a lecture in front of 200 young women whom Gaddafi had paid a modeling agency to attend that he urged the women to convert to Islam and according to one of them said, "Islam should become the religion of all of Europe." Each of the women was given a copy of the Qur'an and allegedly three of them converted on the spot .---"

"---On Friday, thousands of people took to the streets of Benghazi for the second day, with many gathering outside the courthouse in the port city, witnesses say.

Some demonstrators were calling for change, while others said they only wanted more freedoms.

Three people were killed in the clashes with the police in el-Kish and a dozen others elsewhere, the witnesses say.

A medical source told CNN that 20 people were killed and 200 injured.

Several government and security offices were reportedly set ablaze during the demonstrations during the protests.

None of this information can be independently verified as foreign correspondents are banned from reporting from Benghazi.

A leading pro-government newspaper, Al-Zahf Al-Akhdar, called for tough action against the protesters.

"Any risk from these minuscule groups [protesters] - this people and the noble revolutionary power will violently and thunderously respond," the paper said.

"The people's power, the Jamahiriya [system of rule], the revolution, and Colonel Gaddafi are all red lines and those who try to cross or come near these lines are suicidal and playing with fire."---"

"Libya’s national congress has announced that it will suspend itself indefinitely as unrest looks to be overwhelming the Libyan government and President-for-life Moammar Gadhafi’s ability to cope.

Protesters say that they’ve actually taken control of a number of cities in eastern Libya, and that they have in some cases been joined by local security forces. Protesters have also seized jails and released detainees.

Faced with the growing inability to crush the protesters with their own troops, the military is said to have withdrawn from al-Bayda, and the opposition reports that the government has been bringing in mercenaries from neighboring Chad to fight the protests.---"
