Most brutal dictator of our time SADDAM w/ Quran, devout Muslim (just like Idi Amin)
The media like to paint him as "secular". Well, let's just check some facts, Shall we?
Saddam holds a Quran all the time during his trial (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/9652810/ Saddam — holding a copy of the Quran he brought with him into the session and held throughout — replied quietly, “I said what I said. I am not guilty,” referring to his arguments earlier in the session).
1990 Interview on ABC's Diana Sawyer he so (ironicolly) says "The biggest sin a man can make is to forget that God is greater than him".

During the years of the Iran-Iraq war, (where a million people lost their lives) Saddam tied himself to Sa'ad ibn Abi Waqas, an early Arab warrior who brought Islam to Iran. http://www.amazon.com/gp/cdp/member-reviews/A1ZZJ7RLO8UP3Q?ie=UTF8&display=public&page=2 ).
He called on all Muslims to "fight the infidels".
Many Sunni Arab Muslims & especially militant Al Qaeda revere him as a "holy Muslim man", (Saddam and Al Qaeda ...And the greatest holy warrior of all? “The mujahed Saddam Hussein, ... http://pierrelegrand.net/2006/09/11/saddam-and-al-qaeda-connections-and-collaboration.htm)
Finally he clutches the Quran at his last moments on the gallows (Saddam Hussein dies on the gallows clutching a Quran http://www.thenorthwestern.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20061230/OSH/61229093/1987 ).
Pretty much the same raping, plundering, looting that I did.
Sound of phone ringing...
Saddam: "Hello"
Me: "Saddam, hows it hanging?"
Saddam "GACAKKKKKKKK"!
mE: "BREWHAHAHAHAHAH!"
Saddam Had Koran Written in His Blood for Baghdad's "Mother of All Battles" Mosque, Saddam has Koran written in his blood http://www.ifapray.org/NFOW/NFOW2003/Jan-June%202003/Saddam's%20Mosque%20of%20War%20-%20April%2013,%202003.html
lol, As in "What would Muhammad would drive" cartoon...
I suspect he thinks that by taking up the Koran he gets a free, "Get out of Hell" card.
Wonder if it worked like he thought it might?
