Saddam is a secularist, not religious. He has often crushed religious leaders who potentially could serve as rallying points to his autocratic rule.

Arafat too is hardly a model of Islamic piety. He plays at religious belief for the political gain.

Taliban and (perhaps) OBL, on the otherhand, rank up there with the Iranian mullahs (though of Wahhabist belief... not Shia) for the depth of their fundamentalist beliefs.

One doesn't have to be 'religious' to be evil... one doesn't have to be 'religious' to be good.

You laughably purport to understand "world Islam". Your laughable position is that ALL of Islam desires to destroy the West. You FEAR what you are incapable of understanding. You wish to spread your own fear (fearmongering) in an effort to justify your own madness.
You live and speak within a bigotted world view.
YOU FEAR THAT WHICH YOU ARE INCAPABLE OF UNDERSTANDING. You behave as if "magic" and "otherwordly signs" guide your demented system of beliefs.
Do not even pretend that you can convince intelligent people to be as blind as you.
