This way we can all celebrate, every year, thank you very much.

Did you happen to notice the Fox reporter polling Iraqis about their thoughts on the execution?
A young man, clean cut and educated was ecstatic.
An old man, his identity hidden by a checkered table cloth, was outraged.
About says it all.

And what did these hosers say about the terrorist threat made on London during Christmas week? About the IEDs that killed US troops patrolling Iraq on behalf of protecting civilian lives on Christmas Day?

[plangent]

Muslims consider sunrise as the beginning of the day.
(not a lot of clocks around in Mohammad's day).

Saddam was hanged in the pre-dawn hours...thus not on a holiday, just before. And the arrival of the holiday was expected to keep any reactionary violence down.

He was hot for Rita Crowley.

Yeah, if it's not the Festival of the Feast, it's the Feast of the Festival.

All I know is Saddam is dead, waa waa waa

So indeed, the leftist, America-hating scumbags at the LA Times are lying

Right, and Muslims don't blow each other up on Holidays, Prayer time, in Mosques, on Fridays, or during Ramadingdong!

[SunkenCiv]

One less reason to blow themselves up to mass murder others. Or perhaps one more reason. Oh, hell! One more, one less, they're gonna do it anyway.

[AmishDude]

These people have a "holiday" every day of the year. They have a freakin' holy month!

[AmishDude]

I've joked that Dearborn is probably now the 5th holiest place in Islam by now.

[djf]

Cry in your beard time.
Boo freakin Hoo.

Tough guys, huh?
You'd think a bunch of warriors for Allah wouldn't spend so much time whinin and complaining.

[Thombo2]

Muslim holy day?BFD:)

[Loud Mime]

I'll respect their religion when they respect mine.

[sheik yerbouty]

FM if they can't take a joke!

[Dmitry Vukicevich]

Gee the muslims are upset again? Who could've known?

[HarleyLady27]

well if the Muslims were smart they would look at this as a blood sacrifice on their holy days.....

about the 'journalist' Ashraf Khalil:

Ashraf Khalil
One of the episodes that launched me into the blogosphere nearly two years ago was when I took a closer look at an oddly propagandistic San Francisco Chronicle "news analysis" column written by an Ashraf Khalil. What the Chronicle didn't tell its readers was that Ashraf Khalil was the editor of the Cairo Times, from which the column had been reprinted, and also that the Cairo Times is subject to Egyptian-government censorship.

Khalil is now freelancing from Baghdad for such publications as the Atlanta Constitution-Journal, for whom he penned this article that gives detailed instructions on how a terrorist might breach security and enter the American HQ district ("Green Zone") in central Baghdad: THE IRAQ WAR AFTERMATH: U.S. base of operations too easy for 'tourists' to infiltrate...

He should be gunned down. Figuratively of course...
