Sadam is dead and so will be all of us including the poorest person on this earth and the richest person on this earth and the most powerfull person on this earth.
I am sad to see Sadam’s death not because I liked him or I claim he was innocent nor I am pointing fingers on others. I am sad because it reminds me of my death. One day I will be dead as well and the time will come when I will face Allah :swt: and will be held accountable for everything I have done/will do in this life and so will EVERY SINGLE human being on this earth.
I pray to Allah :swt: that may Allah :swt: make it easy for him and rest his soul in peace. Being a Muslim I should pray for every single Muslim not based on their action but to ask for frogiveness from Allah :swt:.
Time is running short and time to ask for forgiveness before our prayer is said.
The intention was to break Saddam and use the video as propoganda. To show Saddam as a coward...but the plan backfired.
There are people out that that killed even more people than Saddam. He could have cut and run and given in to the Bush and lived a comfortabl life but he chose to fight and die.
The real crime in this world is to be weak. The powerful can do anything. His real crime was fighting Iran at the behest of the west which weakened his country as well as Iran. The other mistake was to listen to the U.S and take take their words at face value in regards to Kuwait.
I have never argued against Sadaam being bought to account, I even go as far as to say I am in full favour of capital punishment
To the best of my knowledge the first 2 Judges left because of USA meddling, 3 jurists where murdered and did'nt Sadaams defence team leave for Jordan, because they felt threatned this whole trial and now execution was more a political statement, carried out by a lynch mob, then serving Justice
Its amazing how much difference a few idiots can make. Had Saddam been hanged quetly and not on Eid day, one wud have listened very few voices in protest.
But the timing of his death and those idiots shouting Muqtada in the background gave a totally different meaning to death of a person who was once hated by everyone. It will only serve to deepen the divide among Iraqis.
No one chooses tyrants to be their rulers, they gain power, the second sentence is just too stereotypical and stupid. And I agree with the third tem, killing of a criminal (Bush & Putin) by other Criminals (Muslims) will be no humiliation, if the Muslims choose to videotape.
^ Nobody chooses tyrants, I agree, but what have we done to remove tyrants of our country? Tyrants of other 'Muslim' states? As they say "is hammam may sab hi nangay hayn", each tyrant gets support from ruler of other 'Muslim' states.
The Iraqi constitution (by which the American-led coalition sets such store) requires President Jalal Talabani and his two vice-presidents to sign a decree of authorisation for any execution. Mr Maliki effectively ignored this requirement. Even more inflammatory as far as Iraq’s Sunni minority is concerned was his flouting of the Iraqi law that executions should not take place during the Id al-Adha holiday. For Sunnis, that began on Saturday, the day of Saddam’s execution.
So the hanging of Saddam was illegal (my comment).
The war was illegal as it was not endorsed by the U.N. Even Kofi Annan admitted that the war was illegal. The Kurds or the Shias that he killed were either collateral damage or actively fighting against their country with the help of Iran. Iran is also reported to have used chemical weapons during the war. By the same token Blair and Bush are even bigger criminals.
what happens to the 'ehsas-e-zayan' when we bomb our own mosques? fire missiles/rocket launchers on our own people? praise dictators/kings? but only stand up to criticise when get hurt from outsiders... is that a good 'ehsas-e-zayan'?
jesus. what a blatant cover up. you guys are pretty quick to point out the flaws in bush and blair, yet you have gall to sweep over saddams crimes as if it were nothing as if his victims deserved it. wow, that is seriously messed up and is prolly the same reason why muslims are in a state that they are today. what a mentality to have.
Yes I am also against people bombing mosques, and firing rocket launchers but that is law and order problem. I am against dictators but unfortunately many of them are supported by the west. The west wants democracy so long as the people chose the leaders we want for them.
What i am interested is in the wrong policies of my country along with its partner the U.S. Not in my name.
I suggest that you read the thread in this forum, which has a video of Stephen Pelletiere speaking. He seems like a knowledgable and credible person. Oh and who gave him the gas in the first place? us, i.e the west so are we not equally to blame if he did use them.
The making of Saddam into the brutal dictator that he was, was a great media circus…Every leader has blood on his sleeves and Saddam was no exception, however, making him out to be the ruthless dictator that he was portrayed as, is nothing more than media glitz to which we are all culpable victims…
I once posted this a long time ago…Read how the Contras, who were brutal beyond inhumanity, backed by the US were portrayed as freedom fighters, while the Sandinistas, who set up food camps, made hospitals, built schools were depicted as bloodthirsty animals…All in the media…
It doesn't matter that others have done awful things. They need to be looked at separately. At least "justice" was brought to at least this one man. That's better then nothing (not that these others shouldn't be punished, because they should). And didn't they kill him before sunrise (before eid technically started) in part so that they wouldn't get yelled at for killing him ON Eid? I'm pretty sure they said this on the news...
Millions of Muslims oppresed, killed, tortured, raped, displaced and wrongly imprisoned - but calling Saddam a brutal dictator is a result of ‘media glitz’. Those same people are probably the ones that say non-Muslims consider Muslim blood cheap.
