What's with Gadaffi?

Libyan leader Muammar Gadaffi (forgive the spelling) has always been a little bit crazy. However, he's never been one to just say things for the sake of hearing himself speak like Castro was. So, who is he trying to convince in this video? Barack Obama has spent a lot of money to discredit the idea that he was once Muslim, only to have the leader of a prominent Muslim country call him exactly that? While I choose to believe Obama's conversion experience was real, Gadaffi suggests here that either he believes Obama is Muslim or he is trying to convince others in the Arab/Muslim world that he is Muslim. Either way, I still have to ask: to what end?
