The Man of Many Names Has a Website

















His Arabic name is romanised as "Mu'ammar Al-Qadhafi," according to the U.S. Department of State, but other organizations tranliterate it in different ways. Many different ways. The U.S. Library of Congress lists 53 variations on the spelling of his name (see below).

But I have just discovered the true spelling direct from the clotheshorse's mouth. It turns out he is actually Brother Leader "Al Gathafi," and he has lots of weighty things to say at Al Gathafi Speaks.

Here are the spelling variations listed in the Library of Congress's Name Authority Record for the Brother Leader:

Gadhafi, Moammar
Kaddafi, Muammar
Qadhafi, Muammar
