Re: Saddam Hussein… should he go free or executed???
who said anything about sympathy. ‘weeded’ as in to suppress any case that would expose the americans.
Re: Saddam Hussein… should he go free or executed???
I understand the meaning of the word “weeded” I should not have added the other part to your reply but the reason I did is
some guys here think that just because saddam is not getting a fair trial he is a “victim of american injustice” that is just pure BS this guy does not deserve a trial (fair or not) he should be publicly executed no matter how “barbaric” it may seem to the leftists.
Also let me add that saddam’s opperesion of shais and kurds was not because of religious reasons(not because of sunni beliefs) it was purely for political reasons
He wanted to return to the pagan ways of nebuchadnazzer and greatly admired him.
Re: Saddam Hussein… should he go free or executed???
This is a very important point,we must remember that the sahabas despite their differences never compromised the security of Islam for their Political purposes.
Right now these differences are a real threat to Islam
Re: Saddam Hussein... should he go free or executed???
True. Why cant he be done in with like his sons. The Iraqi's need to move on. Saddam hanging over thier head everyday isnt helping them or the insurgents, who get excited and blow something up every time they see their leader. And maybe we can same some lives aswells.
Re: Saddam Hussein… should he go free or executed???
I wish it was that simple,but imagine what the backlash would be amongst his supporters who now consider him a sunni hero…this concept is absolutely insane so by this defination Hafiz Assad should be a shai hero he butchered tens of thousands of muslim brotherhood sunni muslims in syria.
Re: Saddam Hussein... should he go free or executed???
Ma, how do you go from one extreme "why isnt saddam being tried in an international court? I dont think the iraqi courts will do justice to the iraqi people" to "*Why cant he be done in with like his sons. The Iraqi's need to move on" *in the space of a little over an hour?
Re: Saddam Hussein... should he go free or executed???
i dont see the need for the trial seminole, but if they're gonna make a show of it, i think they should do it in international court. And thats not for saddam's sake either. There are others around who need to be held responsible too. In Iraq they will not get that, not least because they are the ones who are holding up the court, and anything else in Iraq baisically. If they arent gonna bring everything to the forefront, then they may aswell end the farce already. Saddam is guilty, end of.
Re: Saddam Hussein… should he go free or executed???
You forget how quickly monsters get turned into heroes. Napoleon committed genocide, reintroduced slavery, and committed many wars of aggression against his neighbours. When he fell France’s honour sank with him.
And yet he’s still a hero to France.
Such will be the fate of Saddam to iraq’s sunnis as this mock show trial goes on.
Re: Saddam Hussein... should he go free or executed???
Of course he will be a hero to Iraq's sunnis. This trial has nothing to do with that.
He made Arab sunnis cocks of the walk and elevated their status to where it never should have been.
Re: Saddam Hussein… should he go free or executed???
so what do you suggest should happen even if he tried in the TheHague or Riyadh do you think the conspiracy theories will disappear?even then the trial will be seen as unjust and the work of american lackeys.
Re: Saddam Hussein... should he go free or executed???
Now Saddam is Napoleon?
First, Muslims should be the loudest voices urging the trial of brutal dictators. The Muslim world has more than their share of them. Let Saddam serve as an example.
Next, with the possible exception of the African States, Muslim countries have perhaps the worst overall record on fair trials, and honest judges. To be critical of the procedings in Iraq is certainly the pot calling the kettle black. Funny how Saddam fumes about justice when he gets 99% of the vote, and his courts dispense executions to political opponents like they were tic tacs....
Muslims are still far more likely to be killed by the likes of Saddam than by an American or an Isreali. Saddam SHOULD have been indicted by the world courts long ago for his crimes. Any guesses on why that wasn't done? The fact that a genocidal tyrant like Saddam has never faced an indictment is a complete failure of the UN. The UN did nothing to remove him and institute justice. Now, finally the Iraqis are able to do it for themselves. Good for them, the world let them down.
Re: Saddam Hussein… should he go free or executed???
LOL.. you colonial rebels have such little grasp of history beyond your borders. Saddam had nothing to do with elevating the status of Iraq’s sunnis. That happened in the 1920s when Britain, unable to find prominent Shias to support them in Iraq, installed a Sunni royalty into power in Iraq.
The Sunni kings of Iraq of the 1920s through to the mid 20th century made sure that the Sunni community was elevated beyond there it belonged as a minority. Saddam simply continued a policy that was 50 years old when he murdered his way through to power.
Re: Saddam Hussein... should he go free or executed???
So sorry, I should have said "he continued making Arab sunnis cocks of the walk and elevating their status to where it never should have been. He is still their hero.
Re: Saddam Hussein... should he go free or executed???
^^ Aahummm! Could we use the term "roosters" instead of "cocks"? Thank you.
Re: Saddam Hussein... should he go free or executed???
No, the correct phrase is cocks of the walk.
And Seminole is still making enormous assumptions that merely continuing a policy makes someone a hero to a community.
Re: Saddam Hussein… should he go free or executed???
LOL.. @ antiobl. seems like you are a very orthodox person. nevertheless, it seems more appropriate to use the word “rooster” than “cocks”. I agree with you antiobl.
But as mad scientist says it’s just a phrase. can’t we add rooster instead of the cock to the phrase? 
Re: Saddam Hussein… should he go free or executed???
Saddam isn’t a hero to the Iraqi sunni arabs? It would be a huge assumption on your part to say he isn’t. He oppressed, killed, manipulated, jailed and tortured non-sunnis to keep them in power and rulers of all of Iraq.
Re: Saddam Hussein… should he go free or executed???
You overlook that he also killed, manipulated, jailed and tortured plenty of sunnis too. I remember once when I worked at a charity that aided torture victims claiming asylum in the UK, there were a fair number of claims by Sunni arab Iraqos brutally punished for not supporting Saddam’s rule.
They were’s agitating against him either… simply for not being supportive enough they were subjected to terrible, terrible things.
Re: Saddam Hussein… should he go free or executed???
I agree saddam as a sunni hero is a myth, saddam was a baathist and a atheist
Re: Saddam Hussein... should he go free or executed???
Correct me if I'm wrong (since I am but an ignorant Colonial), but sunni arabs aren't exactly known as being overly educated or unknown to follow sheepishly. Saddam re-made himself to a pious Muslim and the sunnis know they were given preferential treatment. They are the backbone of the resistance and the ones not wanting to share power. And now he represents the spitting in the face of America just the same as those blowing up convoys and shias.
