The Vatican said today it is not taking Libyan leader Col. Muammar Gaddafi's comments about Europe's conversion to Islam seriously, according to the Christian Today website.
Col. Gaddafi said Islam should "become the religion of all Europe" upon his arrival in Rome on August 29, 2010.
The secretary of the Vatican's Congregation for Evangelization, Archbishop Robert Sarah, said, "To speak of the European continent converting to Islam makes no sense, because it is the people alone who decide consciously to be Christian, Muslim, or to follow other religions."
Col. Gaddafi was in Rome on an official state visit to mark the second anniversary of a friendship treaty signed with Italy -- Libya's one-time colonizer.
