Saddam Hussein Is Executed

[SilentObserver]

Salaam,

Inna Lillahi Wa Inna Alaihi Rajioun...Ameen..

I sincerely hope before the end he do repent of his sins and seek forgiveness from Allah.

In the end it is Allah who judges,we of man,a of man are too biased,too swayed by the media to judge.

So dont judge,pity his lost life and pray for him.

Inshallah..

Justice comes in this world better than the next,for then the entrance to hell and the torture within is million times more unbearable...

(psst......hey buddy......psst!... over here!.. Eid is not until Sunday in Iraq.)

For everyone who is saying that justice is served did you even see the trial? What a joke.

I am saying, the offical day is Sunday. Why do shia and sunni celebrate on different days? Unless someone provides some resonable answer, I can only assume it is not true.

Here, I found a source for you;

Here are but a few sources:

He was executed on the day Sunni Muslims, of which Saddam was a member, celebrate the Islamic festival of Eid al-Adha.

He was executed about 6 a.m. on the day Sunni Muslims like Hussein celebrate the Islamic festival of Eid al-Adha, Iraqi and American officials said.

For Sunni Muslims, the Eid al-Adha, the Festival of the Sacrifice, was scheduled to begin today. Shiites begin the observance on Sunday.

Regarding the Issue of Eid being celebrated on different days, this issue stems, from disagreements regarding the Islamic calendar, it is a difference of opinion. Simple.

By executing Saddam Hussein on this festival day America and the West..

It is not 'America and the West' that executed him, or chose when. It was the government elected by the people who suffered most from his crimes.

.. is not trying to prove that they bring democracy to Iraq, but they are sending a message to every other Muslim nations that even if you are their friend (today/now) don't play around (mess) with Israel (and America) by supporting Palestine.

Ah, so now Saddam had to go because he was the leading light in Arab and Islamic 'support' for the Palestinians?! I've heard of revisionist history, but that's just ridiculous. Just as with the Egyptians, Syrians and Jordanians the Palestinians were an embarrassing problem Saddam wanted nothing to do with. That said, perhaps I am being unfair - maybe he was just too busy killing Iranians, Quwaitis, Kurds and Sh'ia to spare them any of his valuable time. None of the relatives of those dead are complaining about 'kangaroo courts' and 'more political than justice'.

Are you seriously claiming Saddam was anything but guilty in relation to mass murder? What you, or I, may think of Bush and Blair isn't relevant to Saddam's guilt. I am personally opposed to the death penalty anywhere, for anybody (including Saddam), but if there was one person I would make an exception for it would be him.

Who groomed Saddam? It is America's training what made Saddam who was.

I agree with most of what you said, there is no room for dictators weather muslim or not it's just a shame that we muslims allowed him to carry out those actions.
