An Egyptian man was severely beaten after an Iraqi gang tried to kidnap and force him to film pornographic videos because of his astonishing resemblance to former Iraqi strongman Saddam Hussein. Mohamed Bishr says he was on his way on Sunday to a café in the bustling downtown area of Egypt's second city of Alexandria when three men wearing black suits tried to force him into the back of a van.

"The three men, who had guns hanging from their belts, forced me out of my car and shoved me into a van, hitting my head," Bishr, a devout Muslim, told Ahram's Arabic portal from his hospital bed.

The incident was short but traumatic. Bishr said the last thing he remembers was the men yelling at each other, and then throwing him out of the van where he hit his face on the pavement.

Passers-by quickly gathered around but were too afraid to apprehend the apparently armed kidnappers.

Bishr's son, Mahmoud, said that his father had previously met with a group of unidentified people -- who spoke Arabic in an Iraqi or Syrian dialect -- and had been offered LE2 million pounds (US$333,000) to impersonate the late dictator in a pornographic video. Bishr refused.

His son said that after the meeting his father had received several telephone calls threatening him with kidnap if he didn't change his mind and shoot the Saddam sex tape.

It is believed his kidnappers would have tried to pass off the video recording they made as genuine and sell it to international media.

The media didn't care even when this meme went out while Saddam was alive.

Saddam Starred in Gay Porn Films!

>>> “But how much acting do the thugs really think they would get out of an unwilling recruit? It isn’t a job like a galley slave where they can just chain them up in a ship’s hold and crack a whip to make them row.”

Not to mention the thought of being executed afterwards to keep him from talking & ruining “the fantasy” for those to whom the videos are marketed. That right there would tend to kill the ole libido, wouldn’t it?

This is terrible.Though it has been reported that Hussein has been dead already,many are attempting to make him exist with the presence of his resemblance.A Saddam Hussein look-alike in Egypt was kidnapped and pummeled Sunday for neglecting to impersonate the dictator in an adult video clip. The video clip was apparently going to be distributed to the press as real. Resource for this article: Egyptian Saddam Hussein look-alike kidnapped to use in sex video .Bashir’s son said life has not been the same for his father since first being approached by the men. “We asked the police to put special protection on our father, because this (harassment) has happened to us several times.”
