Yeah, it was there, because Islam was there. But Saddam crushed the ISIS types. Assad crushed the ISIS types.
It is a huge mistake to think Islam can be part of Western civilization

“Saddam crushed the ISIS types”
Not true. During the Iran/Iraq War, Iran appealed to Shi’ites in Iraq to rebel. Saddam responded with his Religion Initiative, where he cultivated Sunni religiosity in support of the regime.
Saddam began a mosque building spree, founded the Islamic University from which Abu Bakr al Baghdadi later graduated, and began training, funding and hosting Sunni terrorist organizations in Iraq. Those efforts really picked up after the Gulf War.
