Best Answer

Gaddafi does not believe in the existence of the opposition. He has this crazy and wild megalomania that he believes he is the King of Libya. He said in a speech that "anyone who opposed me is a "rat"". His wild megalomania drives him to go out and order his army and followers to kill the opposition. That and the fear of his greedy wealth going away is also one reason that he chooses to kill protesters. When he witnessed protests against Ben Ali and Mubarak, he lashed at the protesters as "wild, reckless, destroyers of civilizations, and so on". The Arab Spring have ruined him a lot.

Why and when did the Arab League expel Libya?

When Gaddafi started shooting at protesters in March of 2011, the Arab League had enough of him and decided to temporarily suspend Libya from the Arab League.
