Islam,, Nasser guiding lights for Libyan leader
H
BENGHAZI, Libya (AP) - The teachings of Islam and the revolutionary experience of Gamal Abdel Nasser are the two lodestars that guide Col. Moammar Khadafy's course as leader of Libya. Behind many of his apparently eccentric actions since he took over the country in 1969 is an unshakeable belief that the tenets of the Moslem religion provide an answer to all the modern world's ills. Khadafy looks for inspiration to what he considers the purest form of Islam—the fundamental words of God contained in the Koran, the Moslem holy book "If you people want a solution to all
your problems, your sins and your human weakness, why don't you follow this book?" he asked in a recent lecture "Why don't you resort to God in order to get salvation at the hands of the Creator instead of seeking it from your fellow creatures?" With this religious zeal is a respect for the late Egyptian president that borders on adoration When Nasser was at his most powerful in the late 1950s, Khadafy was a budding revolutionary absorbing every word. Khadafy's political approach and many of his actions are based on Nasser's role as an Arab leader He does not bother to conceal even from his Egyptian allies that he considers himself to be
Nasser's spiritual heir, destined to unify the Arab world. K h a d a f y has enlisted some formidable personal and national assets in the service of the cause. At 31, he is ruggedly handsome; he is an indefatigable worker, constantly on the move within his country and in the Arab world. Everyone agrees that, whatever his other faults, he is personally incorruptible. This is all the more remarkable because he has virtually unhindered control of Libya's huge oil income, now running to about $2 billion a year. Out of this, Khadafy reportedly has supported U.S. black militants, sent arms to Irish and Filipino rebels and given-
money to Gen. Idi Amin of Uganda. All his foreign activism is designed to enhance the Arab position versus Israel, Khadafy said in a recent speech. "Israel's strength in the confrontation begins in the United States," Khadafy said. "When Libya supports black Americans and opens a new front, it is really defending Egypt against Israel." He is less adventurous in using oil as a political weapon against the United States. "Cutting off Arab oil is not the important thing," said one source familiar with Khadafy's thinking. "Let the fighting begin on the fronts, and we will cut off oil, but not before."
So far as the Libyan people are concerned, Khadafy stands above the 10 other young officers in the nation's revolutionary Command Council, the regime's ruling authority. The recent crisis over Khadafy's resignation culminated in a mass rally marked by a near-hysterical outpouring of emotion from the crowd. He finally agreed to rescind the resignation, after giving the crowd a fourhour speech— sometimes bordering on a stern lecture—explaining the reasons for his 12-day stepdown Khadafy said he personally had a number of conditions that should be fulfilled before his projected union of Egypt and Libya could go through. Since"
the Egyptians were obdurately rejecting the conditions, he said, he was stepping aside so as not to become an obstacle to union. This simplistic explanation may have satisfied the crowd but not many longtime observers of the Libyan scene. "The whole affair looked very much like a carefully planned maneuver to get himself off the hook because the Egyptians were resisting his cherished union," said one source. Observers noted the similarity to Nasser's brief resignation after Egypt's defeat by Israel in 1967. Millions of Egyptians took to the streets begging Nasser to stay on, and he continued in power with more support than ever until his death in 1970.
