...he also was reported to be screaming "God is great" before he died.

Everyone is reporting something different. On Fox News, they are saying he showed no remorse. He refused to wear a hood, and he was dressed all in black and had his Koran.

Lets look at it from his perspective. He expects to be judged by Allah, who while being called All-Merciful, is not seen anywhere near the forgivingness of the Christian God. He has killed other Muslims, which is a major no no to Allah. He has not given 2% of his wealth to the poor, another mark against him. He is not a real martyr, he has not been killed in battle against the enemies of Allah (he was executed by his captors - he did not die in battle) so he is not promised paradise. He has not prayed 5 times a day, one of the other pillars of Islam.

He most probably did shout Great is God, and carry his Koran. By his own religion he is facing an unfriendly Judge.

When Saddam was thrown in the arms of Allah, I'm sure he was shocked to see him wearing a red suit, with horns, and a pitchfork.

Well, Fox has been showing the tape, but freeze it right before they drop the floor out. Saddam doesn't show his usual arrogant pompous self.

I could see he was not comfortable.....
