I agree with your assessment of Saddam, in the main.

Your analysis seems to point towards a conclusion that radical moslem culture is distinct from Marxist ideology.

This pertains more to several other threads here that have been arguing whether radical moslem culture was "Marxist", or not.

It will be interesting to see whether a trend towards de-secularizaton (de-Marxism) develops in Islmic nations with "secular" regimes -- in the wake of current events.

My view is that radical moslem culture is not a perversion of Islam, nor is it heretical. There is a historical component to Islam -- its imperialistic, jihad aspects -- that will have to be discounted to insignificance by the "moderate" leadership of Islam if Islam is to become truly "peaceful". A difficult task.

Thank you for your insights.

Kindest Regards
