Today is the day when Saddam’s statues falls from ignominy, pulled down by the screaming masses he repressed for so long, and it will be seared into the collective consciousness of humanity as the moment when dictatorships could no longer hide themselves behind Islamic ideology. The political Islam all over the world accepted the slogan from Mullah Omar to Libya but the strangest of the logic is that Mullah Omar recently announced in favour of Saddam a jihad from his unknown cave in Afghanistan was the architect of breaking statues. Statues are the most unIslamic things and the statue of Buddha was not even spared although it had a history of over thousands of years old. The culture of mankind was destroyed by Taliban’s calling themselves as Butshikans. However in Iraq, the most of unIslamic of traditions was allowed. Today with the help of Americans, the symbols of tyranny are being removed by the people of Iraq. Although cultural icons of Buddha were the heritage of mankind and were wrongly destroyed, statues of Saddam are being removed by “the infidels” in an Islamic land. What Poetic Justice! On another note rumours abound that Russia may have helped Saddam escape to Syria. On that note it’s also being said that Saddam is held up in the Russian embassy! Nice to see that we were not B.S for young kids are offering daisies to the US marines.
