"Italian politicians and media expressed outrage this week over a 'convert-to-Islam' party held in Rome by Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi, complaining that the religious tolerance he found near the Vatican does not exist in Tripoli.
However, many other Italians appeared resigned to tolerating the Libyan leader's antics during an official state visit in which he asked the European Union for five billion euros ($6.36 billion) to fund an effort to fight illegal immigration.
The visit, which marked the second year of an economic agreement with Italy, was celebrated Monday with Gaddafi hosting a 'convert-to-Islam' bash at a Libyan cultural center near the Vatican, the fourth such event he hosted this year."
