Sorry to burst your bubble, Zim ... but history states otherwise. Quadaffi often called for oil priced in gold, and was well on his way to moving his own country to a gold backed currency. With the oil reserves of Libya, they could certainly afford to do so.
Gold and muslem culture are heavily intertwined- and is used far more often as currency than in western cultures.
Qaddafi wanted a common gold currency for the entire African continent -that is quite well documented, and widely known.

In 2009, at the Arab League Summit in Doha, Muammar Gaddafi of Libya called on African and Muslim nations to create an international gold-based currency, to be used in trade for oil. At a G8 currency meeting in 2009, Russia president Dmitry Medvedev held up a half-ounce gold coin and called it “an example of a future world currency.”
Well documented here(Forbes), and innumerable other NON-conspiracy related web sites.
My memory may not be what it used to be - but I remembered this particular issue quite well.
You are free, or not, to chase it down further - but for the rest of us; history says, Yep - it happened (Libya going/pushing for gold backed currency - especially for oil purchases.)
For you to be correct, the Clinton e-mail, released by the State Department under FOIA statutes, and linked in my post, would have to be a forgery. It is not. It came from Sid Blumenthal.
