Christians were also more protected under Saddam. Now that he is gone, the target is on all nonmuslims.
Sure they were, unless Uday and Qusay wanted a nice Christian girl for a sex toy:
Saddam Hussein's son Uday feeds Christian woman to dogs--- still alive
"Blood Brothers," at MaximOnline.com, describes how Uday Hussein tried to pick up an attractive young architecture student, Nahle Sabet, at a university. She wouldn't have anything to do with him, so he had his father's security forces kidnap her "for questioning."
“Strip her,” Uday ordered his guards. The burly men pounced on her and ripped at her clothes until she was cowering naked on the floor. Uday towered over her, unrolling his favorite wire cable. “First I will beat you. Then, if you’re good, I’ll allow you to please myself and my men.”
It took Uday and his men almost three months to break Sabet’s spirit. Then Uday tired of her. Her face was ruined; her body was a mass of bruises. He had the guards take her out to the kennels where he kept his attack dogs—Rottweilers, Dobermans, and great danes. He’d told the keepers several days before to stop feeding them.
Nahle Sabet was then smeared with honey and tossed into the kennels, where all evidence of the crime disappeared.
