Hanging on a Muslim holiday is criticized
latimes.com ^ | December 30, 2006 | Ashraf Khalil

The Muslim religious holiday Eid al-Adha, the Feast of Sacrifice, is meant to commemorate Abraham's willingness to sacrifice his son on God's orders.

But now the holiday could also be associated with something else: the execution of ousted Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein.

Could it be that this hanging be a cause for a fresh new clean start for Iraq?

I thought it was inappropriate to hang Saddam during the holiest of holidays, Kwanzaa.

Did anyone watch Hannity & Colmes 1.5 hour Fox News Alert last evening? It was really very well done IMO. Alan Colmes did his best to weep for the beast with every guest that appeared on the show, and only one liberal elitist babe got close to supporting his contentions. Colmes was almost giddy with the thought that Saddam's American lawyers, including Ramzoid (hemmorhoid) Clark were appealing to a US court for a stayof execution. Later on it was announced that the court had basically said f-off. Colmes looked like the pictures of the Hindenburg as it deflated in its firey death. I'm sure that Saddam's friends in the democrat party leadership will weep for him in private.

The Islamists would have complained in ANY event...
They even complain when you hang them with a new rope.

Semper Fi

Death by hanging should be the punishment for many crimes in the United States, starting with treason (K E R R Y et. al.), sodomy against a child, home invasion, and murder.

Nasser goes to visit a fortune teller.

Nasser: "Tell me, Fortune Teller, on what day will I die?"

Fortune Teller: "You will die on a Jewish Holiday."

Nasser: "Which Jewish Holiday, in which year?"

FT: "I know not, but when you die, it will be a Jewish Holiday."
