Like Bush said, "crusade" because execution on Eid is a message that this is a war on Islam. They couldn't pick another day. Oh no.

They did it on Eid ul Adha for a reason, and they are words that say,

"read between the lines, no matter what I say on TV or papers. I am at war with Islam!"And people in Iraq, the Arab world and Muslims all over the world won't forget it.

The Quran states the following "4:93 If a man kills a believer intentionally, his recompense is Hell, to abide therein (For ever): And the wrath and the curse of Allah are upon him, and a dreadful penalty is prepared for him."

Its a lesson for those Muslim leaders, who are slave of America (all). Whether they do what Bush wants or dont do, they will be hanged like Saddam. Its time to come back to Islam and work for Ummah.

According to an American broadcaster, Bush was sleeping at 9pm, Texas time, when Saddam was executed. He left instructions that he did not want to be awakened if the execution took place and allegedly was not informed until the next morning when he woke up.

If he really thinks we believe this lie then he is an even bigger fool than I thought. He knew exactly what would be happening as this is the day he has waited for since 2001, when he entered the White House. I just wonder which day Bush will go to the gallows as I will stay awake all night to celebrate the moment of his demise.

Saddam Executed on Eid day. Muslims celebrate Eid because it was on Eid day that prophet Ibrahim was offering his son as a sacrifice to his Lord in order to show his obedience and love for God.

On eid day Bush offers his favourite dictator son as a sacrifice to show his obedience and love for his Zionist god.

Just as Muslims distribute the slaughtered meat amongst the poor and relatives, Bush distributed the slaughtered meat of Saddam amongst his relatives; BBC, CNN, FOX NEWS et al...

The first Head of State ever to be executed, in actual fact Saddam was assasinated not executed. He was a sitting Head of State, he was toppled illegaly, these are the facts.

Funny how the "West" perceives justice when it is meeted out against non-Whites.

What about the two Serbian War Criminals, Radovan Karadic and Vlatko Mladic, when is humanity going to see them captured and shred to bits by the Western Allies.

Amazingly, despite thousands of NATO troops in the Former-Yugoslavia including the Republics of the US, France, Kingdoms of the UK, Holland and others, they have not yet captured these evil monsters.

Remember David and Goliath, how far will you push us before we push back.

Remember we share the same planet, we walk the same ground, streets, states.

Who guards the guards.

I'm surprised that many MUSLIMS on this forum have so much hatred for the late Saddam Hussein. What he did, and if he did do wrong, is between him and Allah Taa'la - who are we to judge? (We have only been shown footage of him allegedly gasing his own people, like we have been shown footage of the Palestinians joying over the fall of the twin towers by CNN, later proved that those images were doctored and of an earlier event; like we believed the crusaders when they sexed-up the dossier). The ironic and shameful thing for the entire Ummah, in particular for our so-called Muslim rulers is that the invaders and crusaders went in to his country and executed him! His last words were the Shahadah - what more can one expect other than his martyrdom? It was Allah Taa'la who enabled him to chant those words! Allah O' Akbar!

Abu Ridwan

An excellent interpretation and comparison.

I think brothers and sisters its time! The time has come when we must fight hard! This is a declaration of war to the people of Islam! The prophet (pbuh) cartoon insult, now hanging of Saddam on Eid, what more do you Idiots want?

And don’t stop. Look at MPAC as the perfect example. If you need any suggestion’s please mail me on uk9812@yahoo.co.uk salaam all!

Regardless of the timing, the method, the protocols followed, the legitimacy of those carrying out the execution the fundamental point that should not be missed is that this man DESERVED to die for the acts he perpetrated on his fellow muslims, and in my humble opinion, this was long overdue.

Too many are blinded by their hatred of the entire Iraqi episode over these last years to see this undeniable fact.

December 31, 2006

The Muslim Public Affairs Committee seems to run a pretty broad church, if you will pardon the inter-faith expression. Any fodder, as long as it is anti-Blair and anti-Bush, is meet for your column, including the above Tariq Ali piece in the Commentisfree columns of the Guardian condemning ‘Saddam’s lynching’, which you reproduce.

This is the same Ali who was advised to leave his native Muslim Pakistan all those years ago and seek safe political shelter in Blair/Bush territory, where he still is, writing revolutionary tracts to frighten the pants of us all.

But don’t think Ali is riding to MPAC’s rescue though. He is not a Muslim, but that does not prevent him offering one or two pieces of advice to Muslims that some of you might not be happy with.

For instance, writing in ‘Art an Opinion’ Vol. 2 No. 1, he says that “we are in desperate need of an Islamic Reformation that sweeps away the crazed conservatism and backwardness of the fundamentalists but, more than that, opens up the world of Islam to new ideas which are seen to be more advanced than what is currently on offer from the west.” I think by that last he has in mind some kind of socialist worker set-up. He continues that this would “necessitate a rigid separation of state and mosque; the dissolution of the clergy; the assertion by Muslim intellectuals of their right to interpret the texts that are the collective property of Islamic culture as a whole; the freedom to think freely and rationally and the freedom of imagination.”

So, all that talk about Islam being a total way of life with no room for little non-Islamic indulgences would have to go. Without such a revolution, he concludes that Muslims are doomed “to reliving old battles and thinking… of how we can move from the present to the past.”

Personally, as a British liberal, I wouldn’t rush to publish advice from revolutionry idol smashers of this sort in my columns, but as I say, you people in MPAC seem to run a broad church.

im sorry he was executed this way i would have considered a truth and reconcilation committee type trial set up where his victims stories could have been heard and all his crimes should have been made known to world instead the US prevented this so their role in creating him would be kept quiet. However it is good to see a tyrant like him meet his end, i hope its scares Karimov and co. I also didnt read 'inna lillah' and im sorry he was able to die with kalma on his lips he didnt derserve it.

Saddam was an American puppet who turned against his Master. So they wanted to get rid of him, no matter what the price and consquences.

The fact of the Matter, is that, anyone who threatens the interests of the US or Israel, will be eliminated.

The Arab world is absoutely in a mess, chaos , and its going to get worse before it gets better.

Arab Leadership has failed. Arabs have failed.

The question which begs to be addressed is that what consquences should Blair and BUSH , face, for conducting an illegal WAR ? Impeachment ? Why ? the heck, are these 2 still in power ? . The international legal system & its bodies is an absolute JOKE !!!

The killing of Saddam was a political assasination, and the whole Iraq affair is a debacle. Having said that I take umbrage with- Ahmad- blame your leaders for their weakness not Bush. Kathy- of course he was sleeping, what better way to show total disdain. Bush is dancing a ditty! Guard the guards- Karadic and Mladic are still free because they are viewed as heroes by their people, just like Bin Laden. It is nothing to do with the west, we are trying. I have wrote on this site many times that YOU are pushing us and eventually WE will push back. I find your threats contemptuous, you have your mosques and celebrations free from intimidation or criticism (and rightly so) remember it is US that lets you have these sites for your little rants. Remember also that when the white man grudgingly goes to war He takes no prisoners.

This execution is quite simply victors justice NOT victims justice. Saddam was responsible for may atrocities all with the approval, financing and complecity of his western paymasters.

The ayat of the quran that dude mentions applies in this situation, but it also applies to the situation when a muslim joins tha armed forces and is then taken to a warzone.

I concur with the analogies mentioned by Abu Ridwan. Excellent.

In Iraq there is now a new tyranny - the tyranny of Bush and Blair whose hands are soaked with the blood of over 650,000 Iraqis. They have not faced justice and continue to support dictators, selling them arms, and sponsoring the oppression they mete out to their citizens... Why where they not hanged first!

Now we just have to wait till the other big terrorist, GW Bush is put on trial. On trial for killing half a million Iraqis - a lot more than Saddam Hussain.

Rehan - you are missing the point. We can act based on emotion and the way of the jungle or we can live by laws and procedures. It's a simple choice - one way leads towards civilization, the other towards anarchy.

Surely if Saddam husseing got executed for the crimes he commited against humanity, george bush and tony blair should be bought to justice aswell because they have killed so many people in their "so called" war on terror. Buts its different because they are in power and saddam hussein was a visible dictator but dont you also think george bush and tony blair are aswell but however its a sophisticated form of an dictatorshipp? This falls in with the whole issue of judicial murder and i am against the state murdering people its inhumane, callous and sadistic. Saddam hussein did kill a huge amount of people but Bush and Blair are doing it also we need to stop them and bring them to justice. I dont think anyone one should get a death sentence even if they are the worse people on earth. Only God gave life and only him alone can take it away. We cant play the role of God!!

SADDAM HUSSEIN,
MARTYRED BY HENRY KISSINGER

Saddam Hussein was created by CIA. He killed 16,000 communists on a list drawn up by them & handed to him.

He invaded Iran encouraged by USA.

He killed the Kurds with chemical weapons supplied by USA/Britain who showed no interest whatsoever in his crimes or in his unspeakable atrocities committed against his own people UNTIL the end of the Iraq/Iran slaughter.

When, in order to preserve USA hegemony in the region/prevent any state becoming too strong a threat to same, a pretext was sought to bludgeon Iraq in order to preserve the petrodollar.

The secret agreement brokered by Kissinger in 1973 with the Saudis (when USA had fallen off the gold standard) to sell ALL oil in $, in exchange for `protection’ for the house of Saud (Saudi having the power to up its production to break anyone NOT towing its policy).

This preserved the USA$ as global reserve currency & in so doing (2/3 of all trade is still conducted in $) gave them an `unlimited credit card’; enabling USA to simply PRINT $ to pass on costs of its institutionalised hyperinflation onto the rest of the world (Budget deficit $8.5Trillion, accumulated other liabilities $60Trillion – Brookings Institute; all propped up by a $370Trillion derivatives mountain). And indeed just by PRINTING $, fund the army which protected the petrodollar…

The pretext at the end of the Iraq/ Iran war, was engineered by Kuwait (as Jude Wanniski pointed out) slant drilling across the border into Iraqi substrat. Saddam Hussein mentioned this to April Glaspie who famously said `The USA does not get involved in Arab border disputes’.

To clarify, this was NOT an invitation to invade/confused signal. This was a direct & UNPROVOKED threat to Iraqi sovereignty by the USA.

Eg if Saddam had done nothing, he would have looked weak, been deposed in a coup with chaos ensuing.

& because Kuwait was an artificial creation of the British empire, Iraq had a longstanding claim. So if Iraq had just invaded the border area (from where the slant drilling was taking place), this would have been defacto recognition of Kuwait which would have caught Iraq twice.

ALL THIS THE USA KNEW. & knowing this, they refused to call their dog (Kuwait) off.

So this left no option but invasion of Kuwait. & the rest is history. USA bombardment, sanctions in which 2 million (mainly children) Iraqis died. & continued bombing in the name of peace & security.

Then Saddam Hussein decided he had nothing to lose. He had done all that was asked of him by the USA. Even the much trumpeted Osirak nuclear reactor (bombed by Israel) was built with assistance from western donor countries under IAEA auspices.

And where had this got him?

An impossible trap set for him by USA in Kuwait, leading to bombardment, sanctions & the utter ruin of Iraq.

So in 2000, he ceased selling oil in $, instead opting for Euros (netting 17% more than his neighbours on the deals in the process).

If all Iraq’s neighbours did this, then that would have been the end of the oil/$$$ linkage. That would have spelt the immediate hyperinflationary crash of the $ & with it ALL USA financial & military power…

Then, the events of Sept 11th 2001 transpired.

Leaving aside the absurdity of the CIA claim that they had no agents in Pakistan at the time of Sept 11th 2001, eg they had agents before Pakistan had the bomb, when CIA were funding the Islamic fascist Mujahadeen in order to bait a trap to get the USSR to invade for fear of their central Asian missile bases being overrun by Jihadis; but when Pakistan became a nuclear power CIA pulled all its assets out. Eg they have to say this or else Al Qaeda which is bound up with the Taliban, which is bound up with the ISI would implicate the CIA…

Leaving aside also the `fact’ that the CIA cannot locate a 6ft6inch Osama Bin Laden hooked up to a dialysis machine & moving around on a motorbike on/ around the Afghan border…

Leaving aside the Q of HOW Bin Laden ordered the NORAD standdown from his cave…

Leaving aside the Q of HOW steelframed world trade centre Building 7 collapsed without even being struck by a plane (Silverstein acknowledged giving the order to demolish, but did not explain HOW he got the explosives in AFTER WTC7 struck by debris from the twin towers)…

…& cutting to the key issue which is the repeated lie that Saddam Hussein was in league with Al Qaeda/connected to the destruction of the twin towers, we are forced, wether we like it or not to consider the MOTIVE for such a lie.

sufficient also for nuke war against Iran, which is opening up a Euro traded bourse (Hugo Chavez was subject to a coup attempt in 2002 as he was shifting to Euros). Not to mention the ring of bases from Central Asia to Iraq, to keep the oil sold in $, to preserve USA financial/military hegemony.

THE PETRODOLLAR, THE CONSPIRACY THAT GIVES ITSELF AWAY.

Tyrant as he was, Saddam Hussein fell in the line of duty against a far bigger tyranny, the Kissinger inspired USA petrodollar imperium.

Firstly, I want to greet all my brothers and sisters Eid Mubarak.
We all know the three masons have it all prepared for the dajjal to appear. they are preparing for all muslims never to re-unite! Why dont we prepare, why dont we help others suffering, because we are tooo weak. No one helped our muslim brother Saddam, how can we help each other? But i pray to Allah to send Imam Mehdi Quickly and to help us in this cruel and horrific Dunya..Ameen
Wa Asalam

@Rehan
Who are you to judge the Lion of Arabia?
The Muslim Ummah is full of despots, vile brutal barbarian who have committed atrocious crimes against their people. I will not speak about the western crimes committed against the Ummah, read the history, it is full of the atrocities committed by west. So stop being a damn hypocrite and start with the Brits they were the first to gas the Koshered Kurds. Why pick on President Saddam Hussein? Because he refused to be an amerikan whore? That is hardly a crime.

Well he died as a Lion, reciting Qur’an but the scum bag dogs, the Iaki government stooped to level one never stoops, they committed the most horrific act on Islam ordered by their masters in the whore house.
The Iraki government & that somalian moron gedi showed what despicable individuals they are. These are not Muslims and for sure al maliki is no Shia.
@white bloke
Remember also that when the white man grudgingly goes to war He takes no prisoners”

On one lie who have let your white butcher & real estate god worshipper government kill over million people. Is it the lies what you call grudgingly going to war? Is the black ethiopian christains terrorist act on the sovereign state of Somalia a grudging act of war?

"We don't quite know who was shouting at Saddam or with whom he was exchanging the insults but I do not think it was any members of the government who were doing this," Hiwa Osman said.

The kosherewood krass act was organised and executed by the neo-cohens and the al maliki government knows full well who was the coward shouting al Sadr’s name. this is another neo-cohen idea to get the Sunni people to kill al Sadr for them because they know what inferno they will create by doing it for themselves. I mean look at the inciting by the US & EU to the christian ethiopian for terrorist attack against our Ummah of Somalia. To make al Sadr the sacrificial lamb. The psychopaths in the whore house who call themselves congress man/woman openly and shamelessly call for “killing of democratically elected leaders who abhor american/european genocidal foreign policy.

It was on Eid because it was on Eid day that prophet Ibrahim was offering his son as a sacrifice, and on Eid day Iraki government sacrificed their Son, THE LION OF ARABIA for their Lord in the whore house and started the process for fattening the lamb, al Sadr for future sacrifice. I say to the Sunni people live al Sadr to make the occupation hard and if he has committed crimes there is higher justice.

TO THE TRIBE OF THE BRAVE SON OF Arabia I ask you to forgive me and offer my condolence. You have shown the best form of dignity and al maliki has shown a krass act. Allah gave him a chance to show that he could a leader, he failed miserably.

To the family of President Saddam Hussein I offer my condolence and I a Shia female ask for your forgiveness. Al maliki has managed to make me be ashamed to be a Shia.

To those who accuse me of hero worship I say no look at my reply to Rehan

I as a Shia & a female am disgusted & repulsed. If I had any means of obtaining a bullet I would send it to al maliki and I say to al Sadr resign from the government and show your disgust. As for the Koshered Kurd I have ferocious contempt and may you burn in your hell.

Dear Friend,

You know what the situation is. The idiots who think they are worthy of judging President Saddam Hussein have decided, well really it is the US pigs who have conducted the whole show to please their zionist state of Israel. They are going to film it so that they show their western civilised barbarian leaders, incidentally not one of them ha condemned the war crimes committed by that thug Blair. You know that I am a Shia and a female.
To show you how disgusted and repulsed I am by the thugs who are the US prawns I offer myself in the place of President Saddam Hussein to be judged by the families of the ones in killed, not by the Koshered Kurds, the Talabani traitor, the judges who have sold their souls to the satan. Yes my dear Shia I feel for you and I fought for you but what the Talabanis, Allawis, Chalabis and the rest of the American dogs are doing in our beloved lands is far, far worse than anything President Saddam Hussein did. These people are going against the Islamic teachings and have decided to hang President Hussein on the day of our Holy festival. What a farce the trial was. They are in a hurry so silence him because he knows their dirty secret. What kind of Islam is this? What kind of Muslims are these that they did nothing when my Sunni sister of 14 years was raped by 10 of these christian barbaric mongrel dogs?



You have Al Hakim visiting the psychotic murderer in the White House, you have al Maliki cooperating with Her Majesty’s butcher to slaughter our fathers, sons, men, you have the mubaraks, the abdullahs, the al sauds, the mushrafs, the karzais

Colluding with the satan and the zionists to slaughter our people in Lebanon, Palestine, Afghanistan, Somalia and in my beloved country, Irak. Let these shameless dogs know what they are and what they are doing. I cry for my beloved Holy Land. I cry for al Falluja, I cry for Abeer, I cry for my pregnant sisters who know not what horrors have been committed to their unborn and above all I cry because you my Shia people have let me down so terribly by participating in this most horrific act that is being carried out on Islam.



The idiots who claim to be the judges are not even able to capture the profound message of my email. For obvious reasons I cannot send the mail, please you who knows me so well and has been a good friend will help and do as I ask without questioning me or putting obstacles.

Salaams

Your Shia sister

I would like to add my voice to support my Shia sister and say how thoroughly disgusted and repulsed I am with the stupid, spineless, worthless Iraki government for this great insult to Islam. There are levels to which you cannot lower yourself but today the Iraki government showed how low and shameless they can be.

For what it is worth, I ask the family of President Saddam Hussein the Lion of Middle East to forgive me as a Muslim for the crimes committed by my fellow Muslims and offer my condolence. I am very sorry.

No my dears this is not hero worship and nor have I forgotten what President saddam did but if that is what you accuse me of than I ask you, oh holy thy self what of the Ummah full of despots and barbarians? Who are they to judge him when they are no better.



Besides when in Islam do we photograph dead for the entertainment of the butchering Kosherwood crass?



Excecution on the day of Eid? What kinds of Muslims do this, blair and da shrub Islam? Well I have news for them there is only one kind of Islam and that is Islam anything else is just crap.



Riverbend: Iraqi Girl Blog: You know your country is in trouble when: :



An 8-year war and 13-year blockade are looking like the country's 'Golden Years'.

Rehan:
when will you wisdon, compassion and put the Ummah first and your hypocrisy second?

If you are judging President Saddam Hussein:
what right have you? Since when did you become a pathetic faulty copy of Allah?
The Ummah is full of despots why choose President Hussein why not start with the west who are the real criminals
Watch what is going on in Somalia. The terrorist act on the people of Somalia by the evil proxy of us/eu the ethiopian christian.

I have pledged by support to the Shia females appeal of reading the whole Qur'an for President Saddam Hussein.
Show some good sense.

The death penalty is against christianity but not against Islam or Judaism. Saddam Hussein should have been given the death penalty if found guilty by a fair and impartial court including a muslim sharia court of all or even a single charge charge against him.

White Bloke - are you talking for all white people or just for yourself. We Muslims thank Allah for the power of being able to have "our little rants" (sometimes about little things) as nothing happens without his permission.

Millions of muslims have been killed and maimed because of the evil of your racism and millions more are suffering today. Also millions of more non white people throughout the world in history have seen the evil barbarity of the white man's plans for racial superiority so don't kid yourself about it being any different.

Thoughtful:

don't take too much notice of white bloke. As a white bloke myself (whatever that means) he doesn't speak for US (whoever WE are).

White Bloke: The 'take no prisoners' stuff is ludicrous. Aren't WE supposed to be above that kind of thing?

people shouting in the background "Muqtada!!Muqtada!!Muqtada!!" referring to Muqtada elsadr, the shiite leader who is well-known as a serious enemy of the Americans, to make it sound as if Muqtada the Shiite executed Saddam the Sunni in the first day of Adha feast, and before one day of the Shiite feast, how convenient!
If we buy this nonsense, we fight each other, and we solve all the problems the Kufar have in our area.
Saudis, Egyptians and Jordanians along with Iraq Sunnis against Iran and the Iraqi shiites.
The Americans are playing a very stupid but yet very dangerous game, we should not fall in it.
God says in Surat Eltawba: (and fight the Pagans all together as they fight you all together) stay together and don’t fight their war against yourselves

White bloke said: "I have wrote on this site many times that YOU are pushing us and eventually WE will push back. I find your threats contemptuous, you have your mosques and celebrations free from intimidation or criticism (and rightly so) remember it is US that lets you have these sites for your little rants. Remember also that when the white man grudgingly goes to war He takes no prisoners."

stop your racist rantings, you're embarrassing yourself. Who is this 'you' and 'we' you talk of? Don't include me there - this race war is totally in your own sad little head. You seem to have delusions of grandeur instead of seeing that you have more in common with Muslims in this country than you ever will with Bush and Blair who live a life of luxury and sit in their ivory towers.

The only war they are conducting is one for oil, power and domination - it has absolutely nothing to do with race but having said that, ignorant robot-thinkers like you come in very handy to them when they are carrying out their attrocities.

Make your new year's resolution to start thinking for yourself and put down the gutter tabloids eh?

As for the hanging of Saddam, Tariq Ali is spot on - he was indeed 'lynched by the mob' - the very blood-stained hyprocritical mob. Colonialism is alive and well.

Aya ( "verse" ) 53 of sourat ( "chapter" ) Al Anfal of the Qur'an says it all.

Salam

Thanks for the article.

This is for Sis Africana and those who share the same view, your going to be reciting the Koran for Saddam Hussein, whilst you're at it, kindly recite Surah Fatiha for the all the victims of Saddam and especally the mentioned below:

This is a translation from the account of one of the security officers present on the day the 2 martyrs were killed:

"They brought Sayyid Al-Sadr to the office of National Security in Baghdad and they bound him in chains, then Saddam arrived and said in Iraqi slang 'Muhammad Baqir, are you trying to make a government?' and then he started hitting his face and head with a strong rod. So the Sayyid said to him 'I have left the government to you' and then an argument broke out between them about this and about the Islamic revolution in Iran, which led Saddam into a fit of rage, so he ordered his henchmen to torture Sayyid Al-Sadr severely. Then he ordered the lashing of martyr Bint Al-Huda - after she had been tortured in another room - they brought here in unconscious and they were dragging her, so when the Sayyid saw her, he became upset and angry at her plight. He said to Saddam 'If you are a man, then undo my restraints'. But Saddam took a rod and began hitting the marytred Sayyida and she was senseless, then Saddam ordered for her breasts to be cut, which caused the Sayyid anger and he said to Saddam 'If you were a man, you would have faced me face-to-face and let my sister go, but you are a coward, between your bodyguards'. Saddam flew into rage and took out his gun and fired on the Sayyid and then his sister and then left like an insane man cursing and swearing"

More info on Muhammad Baqir Al-sadr and his sister Bint-ul Huda, can be found on wikipedia or google. This is merely 1 account of thousands of other sadistic killings.

p.s. Saddam smirked when he heard 'moqtada al sadr' during his execution. Al-sadr was his father-in-law.

Saddam's execution and the timing of it is deliberate. A mobile phone was conveniently used to record the execution so it would be played to the Iraqi people. The aim is a further escalation between Sunni and Shia, which will kill many more people. The US is due to send more troops to Baghdad to assist this escalation. The Globalist plan for the Middle East is to divide States up along sectarian lines to weaken them. Iraq was first, to be followed by Lebanon, Syria, Iran etc. The only conceivable way of doing this is by having them fight each other. When Iraq is divided up, an independent Kurdistan will ensure Israel get's the Mosul to Haifa pipeline. "Greater Israel" will get a 25% cut in their energy bill. Watch for the Iraqi puppets to open up diplomatic and trade relations with Israel.

I am surprised some people are saying they are glad at seeing Saddams death. I for one do not understand this. It just doesn’t make sense. How can you say this?? By executing him on Eid, Bush was sending a message to the Muslim world. He was basically saying to all the puppet Middle Eastern govt that you turn against the US, and this will be your punishment. He had to be killed on Eid to underline the message. As far Bush was asleep, total rubbish he would have been watching a live feed celebrating.

Since the "end" of the war, the country is a total mess, the economy is useless, the country is being stripped of its oil, and there is no way of seeing when law and order will be restored. The US and its fellow "yes countries" are not even close to controlling the level of violence in Iraq today. Most people were better-of under Saddam than they are now. Do you not think the people of Iraq required a person of Saddams calibre to stop them from fighting each other??? I see the news and all I see is Sunni killing Shia and vice versa i.e. Muslim fighting Muslim how is this good? I cant see no end to the violence, and to be honest the US are quite happy for them to carry on killing each other as it then diverts the worlds eyes away from what are doing.

Lets not forget more people have died in Iraq since Bush declared the war as over, than Saddam killed in the whole of his reign. On this fact alone you can argue a very convincing argument he saved lives.

I don’t agree with Saddam and his leadership style…but his leadership style seems to suite the people he was ruling over.

Amjid, whatever views you harbour, you're entitled to them.

However, your last statement was inconsiderate and sick.

May be you would prefer your dad being pushed into an oven, have the ladies in your home rapped and tortured.......You are ignorant of what most of the Iraqis endured under his tyranny whilst he slept in his golden palaces.

I pity you and your likes. I guess its ok to kill as long as your a Muslim and you have the Shahadah running across your lips.

Its a dog eat dog situation and in a world where humanity, human rights and an unbiased call for political, social and moral justice is dissolving, it was inevitable that Saddam would come to this end. Yes, any form of execution as such is wrong and reductive of the many efforts made to bring a sense of morality into this world, however I refuse to rest on the path that continues to blame such hegemonic forces as the sole reason for the homogenising and suppression of Muslims or any human being in question. Whether we battle against the sources of corruption or not, the fact that executions still exist in this day and age just illustrates the fragmented and unevolved state of humanity and politics at large. It is this regressive and inhumane attitude that we must work towarsd removing from this system. If human rights on a grass root level isnt respected then what chance is there for any form of political and social harmony to manifest? Yes, this idea may be far fetched, but surely, by moving away from the 'them' and 'us' attitude, we are able to strengthen ourselves in a manner which is both forward thinking and productive. This does not mean we unite with the oppressors and cannibals of America's political body, but we tackle them with integrity and tact. This requires a united front from not just muslims, but anyone and everyone who opposes to such events in the contemporary day and age. We must also consider, that if we are to continue to exercise our religious values, then we should remember ‘no compulsion is there in religion’ (Qu'ran 2:256), therefore we have the freedom to choose and revolt against the reductionism that such hegenomic forces (which do not just thrive in the west but beneath the masks of many of our own muslim communities abroad and at home)and we must do this without intellectual laziness, but do with the wealth that education has given us and with resistance that does not echoe the oppressors methods but our own peaceful but persistant one; a trajectory that Islam itself teaches us.
Saddam's death is the death of another muslim but we shouldnt sit here dabbling over and mentally creating him into the tyrant he is accused of or convert this death into a reason to revolt against non muslims or the 'west' as many of us say. Rather, it is once again (in its unfortunate way as it is) an opening from which we can work towards educating the soceties of the future (our children), the crux and significance of humanity, our own non-secular ways of life and basic human rights as well as continuing to protest,protest, protest!!!
p.s and yes, the fact that this occured on eid is disgusting... as reiterated above.... the loss of basic human rights is a reflection of the corruption and ignorance of the world today, one that we are here to protect and spread islam in and with the lack of respect for another human being, despite their actions, will always play havoc to the growth of humanity and morality. It must be stopped. New laws must be built and punishment systems must change....only we can do that.
love and peace!

Zahra, you are correct in one thing, I am entitled to my views. I do not see what is sick and inconsiderate about my last statement. You obviously don’t agree with it, which is fine by me, as I am not trying to convert people to my way of thinking, I am merely expressing my opinion.

My last statement was (I will break it down into 2 bits, and will explain my thinking behind each)

“I don’t agree with Saddam and his leadership style”… this is something I feel, I do not think he was a just or fair ruler. The stories of his leadership i.e. torture, rape, etc are well known to everyone. To be honest I do not see what is sick or inconsiderate about this (first part of my) statement. There are those who think he was ideal, that’s up to them. Can you explain why you think this statement is sick and inconsiderate?

“….but his leadership style seems to suit the people he was ruling over”. This is an observation of what has happened to the country since he has been overrun. There is an invading western force in Iraq; however the Iraqi people seem to be fighting each other. Why don’t these people get together and either call a truce and start to live by the laws of the land, or why don’t they join forces and fight the invading force? No these idiots instead go around killing other innocent Iraqi people just because they belong to a different Muslim group. The number of people that have been killed by car bombs is stupidly high, these are innocent people, probably going about their “normal” everyday life. Next thing they know, a bomb goes of and their dead. His last thought being….”what the hell did I do?”

The more I see an innocent man, woman and child dead in Iraq, their bodies maimed, limbs torn of from their bodies, I think to myself, why??? Who can sit there and say what has happened is right??? The only people who think it is right are the people that are planting/planning/making the bombs – these are the Iraqis. Then a thought occurred to me a while back, and that was “why didn’t any of this happen when Saddam was ruling the country??” You never heard of car bombings, or Sunni fighting Shia (or vice versa) in Iraq. The only conclusion I could arrive at was that his ruler ship style must have been right, as it did stop all the innocent killings. You may not agree with it, but it did stop all this violence that is currently on our screens.

This is the reason why I made the second part of my statement. I again do not think that it is sick or inconsiderate, but is a statement on what is currently happening in Iraq (from my point of view). I don’t like what is happening in Iraq, I think its disgusting….but whilst Iraqi is killing Iraqi, then the west will just sit back and say let them get on with it.

Zahra, do you think the average family, who just want to get on with their lives like the current situation in Iraq?? Its well known that most Iraqis think the current situation is worse than when Saddam was ruling. I think this fact says it all…they rather have Saddam, than what they have now…and this is what the Iraqi people have said.

well on the day of Saddam execution Bush had to run for cover because a tornado came his way ! makes you think doesnt it !

He takes his secrets to the grave. Our complicity dies with him

How the West armed Saddam, fed him intelligence on his 'enemies', equipped him for atrocities - and then made sure he wouldn't squeal

We've shut him up. The moment Saddam's hooded executioner pulled the lever of the trapdoor in Baghdad yesterday morning, Washington's secrets were safe. The shameless, outrageous, covert military support which the United States - and Britain - gave to Saddam for more than a decade remains the one terrible story which our presidents and prime ministers do not want the world to remember. And now Saddam, who knew the full extent of that Western support - given to him while he was perpetrating some of the worst atrocities since the Second World War - is dead.
