Saddam was secular.
And why weren’t any Wahhabist groups in the “Axis of Evil?”
So what? Regarding the "gay issue" (which is the topic here) he didn't differ from other Islamic regimes. Homosexuals and prostitutes were beheaded in public under Saddam. Secular means crock. Saddam's regime was secular only in the very beginning in the late 1970's/early 1980's. With the war against Iran he promoted Islam for propaganda (Arab Islam vs. heretic Persians). After Desert Storm, Iraq went through a phase known as Islamization. Saddam built mosques, enforced sharia practices and promoted Islam. Of course a lot of this was only for raising his PR status within the Arab world, but the effects on Iraq weren't different.
And why weren’t any Wahhabist groups in the “Axis of Evil?”
Because this axis was confined to states. Including a Wahhabi state would mean Saudi Arabia. Since the Saudi Government is "officially" our "ally", this was a no-brainer. I get your point, and it's a very good one. The problem is that we have no viable alternative to the royals in Saudi Arabia, except Al-Qaeda themselves, short of totally destroying them. But we have to get thougher on Saudi Arabia witout a doubt.
He was an "equal opportunity" murderer. At least the Democrats approve...
The Wahhabist groups are in the axis of evil..OBL is a Wahhabist. I think what you want to ask, assuming that you are like a lot of people and believed Micheal Moore's propganda film, is why isn't Saudia Arabia included in as part of the Axis? Am I correct?
