So, Saddam has been executed. On the same day in the Islamic religion that is called the day of "Al na7r" (Slaughtering). Where pligrams slaughter an animal (usually sheep, goat..etc) as a sacrifice to god, follwing the ritual done around 10,000 years ago by Abraham when he was to slaughter Ishmail (Isac in the biblical story) as an offering for his god. The story continues that a sheep was substituted for his son and everyone lived happily ever after
Yet, this time there was no substitute sheep. There was no message from god. There was the ugly face of the American administration laughing as they desecrated one of the holiest days in the Islamic calender. Yet, people still think there is no "conspiracy", there is no "Master plan".
The day happens to be the first day of Eid, which forever will be associated with the death of Saddam. Who was by no means a good or even acceptable leader. Yet, his trial, his indictment, his execution was all political display of mighty power. There was not a single ounce of justice there.
History, will remember Saddam as the dictator who received hero's end. Was he blessed by the gods or cursed by the daemons? No one will know, but one thing is for sure, he's not the only one who deserves this fate, and guess what. MANY of the Arab leaders who have stood shoulder to shoulder, and kissed Saddam, have received the message. It's loud and clear. "Play with our rules, or suffer the same fate"
More need to be on the same death raw, people who caused and are causing the world and the Iraqi, Palestinian, and Lebanese people all the suffering they're going through. The US Government is not exempt from the Iraqi blood and has it all over it's hands and papers. And worse yet, they show no remorse or signs of a change of heart
As a Muslim Arab, all I feel is the pain on my cheek due to the massive slap. The slap is for everyone.... for [place your favorite reason here]
Saddam as a person has perished, but he will live on as an Idea, they have granted him his best wish ... to be a martyr, slaughtered the day Abraham was about to slaughter his son, and will always be remembered on the happy occasion of Eid al Adha (The Feast of the sacrifice), as he wanted, or maybe as history will ironically say, as a Sacrifice
Memories....
And we will always remember kheebetna elte2eela awe..
But hey..arab governments are so innovative..they always manage to come up with a reasonable act of disgrace to highlight their ruling..
This will be the disgrace of the century!!
Not only do our cheeks hurt..our necks are scared forever from the foriegn boots!!
Allah yer7amoh l sadam..who knows?!
The important thing that now I think that people should start wearing Saddam's tshirt rather than Che's, because I think that whatever he had done in his life, he died like a man, he refused to be one of the other Arab leaders.
May GOD have mercy on him.
But it's obvious that it's absolutely political vengeful action, and it's more mandated by the American occupation.
The Trial was an orchestrated joke... Just for GWB to say that it was a fair trial ... ha!
Reasons why the execution of Saddam is wrong:
1) most Arab leaders deserve the same fate and have slaughtered untold number of political dissidents and innoncent. Yet those brutal regimes considered friendly to US are praised and protected.
2) If Saddam was overthrown by an Iraqi revolt and later executed after a fair trail, then it's the decision of the Iraqi people. Iraq is an American-occupied territory and those who caught saddam and those who hanged him are American invasion soldiers.
3) The Americans and the British killed thousands of innocent Arabs directy or indirectly, by providing bombs to Israel, in Iraq, Lebanon, and Palestine. Why Saddam? As a matter of fact, the Americans and the Brits killed far more innocents than al-Qaeda can or could kill.
4) Saddam knew too much for the US to let go of him. A life sentence would have given Saddam plenty of time to spill the beans. The Americans refused to turn Saddam over to an international court, like Slobedan, for fear he will not be killed. A trial in a US-occupied Iraq by Saddam's political foes will ensure his execution and all the dirty secrets will die with him.
5) the demeaning visuals associated with the capture of Saddam and his execution, when contrasted with the respectful treatment Slobo the Rapis received, send a disturbing message about the depth of the American hatred for Arabs. Not even Nazi or Imperial Japanese war criminals who committed far more heinous atrocities received this racist treatment.
6) the choice of the first day of Sunni holiday, with US approval, was designed to fan the flames of sectarian hatred, a mission the US and Brits have committed themselves to part of a larger regional strategy to divide and conquer.
saddam was to be 70 next april, and cases like the invasion of Kuwait would take months not mentioning the other cases.....!!!
the trials will go on and others will be hanged, will we see americans in the same spot, that's highly unlikelly......!!!
even after saying these words I still am against the way and time they executed him the way they did, he's now a Shaheed......!!!
happy eid, and a new year...
may 2007 be less slappable.....!!!
لكن على كل حال... الايام الجاي رح تثبت للكثيرين... اشياء خصوصا لمّا يكبروا شوي ويصيروا بيفهموا
