Wow, now that's unbiased, even-handed, agenda-free journalism at its finest. Nice job.

[Seruzawa]

Yeah, well someone please tell me when the day occurs that the muslims aren't upset about something.

[steveo]

I heard today that "dozens" attended saddam's funeral. Dozens!

[alloysteel]

If the Muslims didn't have so gosh-awful many "holy days", there would have been a much better chance that the execution of Saddam Hussein would not have had to have been carried out on a "holy day".

AS it is, the execution of Saddam should be marked as a new "holy day" by ALL Muslims. He was no credit to any religion. But he was a superior example of the ideals of the IDEOLOGY of Islam.

[mtbopfuyn]

The execution, he added, “should have been avoided” on the holy day.

Of course he failed to mention that every day is one of their most holy days.

[Tijeras_Slim]

Dozens!

I guess the only true measure the deceased popularity is how many blocks the coffin can crowd-surf on the mourners. ;)

[A Balrog of Morgoth]

It didn't even happen on their precious holy day...they hung him before dawn, precisely to avoid this sort of gnashing and wailing.

[Chi-townChief]

TOUGH BREAK, SUKKAR!!!!

[BenLurkin]

Morons.

[ANGGAPO]

I am sure that it's Bush's fault, again.

[Clara Lou]

Let's see. Saddam was executed on a day of forgiveness. Hmm...symbolic, or what?

[oyez]

Today is a day of forgiveness.

I can see that Muslims are really big on forgiveness.

[End Times Sentinel]

“An execution on this holy day sends out mixed signals,”

I agree with the fella. Muslim holy days are usually reserved for murder, and this just execution of a tyrant, represents something they might not want associated with them.

It was insensitive of us to not have stopped the Iraqis from carrying out the execution.

What's the holiday when the muslims slice their heads open?

If what I just wrote made you sad or angry,
it was probably just a joke.

[stevem]

Muslims gathered for prayer in Baton Rouge said Saturday morning that they are upset deposed Iraqi President Saddam Hussein’s execution was carried out on a holy day.

Here is a question to be asked while rolling the eyes: Are there any Moslems extant who aren't children?

[ABG(anybody but Gore)]

I know we have some Muslims here in Lafayette. I'm assuming they're smart enough not to raise their head and complain, especially given the hell they raised when Saddam invaded Kuwait in 1990...

[353FMG]

"..carried out on a holy day."

Are they upset because it was carried out in the Christmas season?

[oyez]

Former Iraqi citizens, who attended prayer Saturday morning, declined to be interviewed for this story.

They are smart. They know this particular reporter and paper will misquote them, too.

Also known as the Festival of Sacrifice,

It sounds like the perfect day to hang some murderous thug...

[Slings and Arrows]

Also known as the Festival of Sacrifice, it commemorates the Prophet Abraham’s willingness to forfeit all things to God, including the life of his son, Ishmael.

Silly me, I thought it was Isaac that Abraham was willing to sacrifice! There goes my Dhimmi-Of-The-Year nomination.
