You need to read more. Saddam is not considered pious by any of the hard line Muslims- including Al Q (who designated him an infidel, remember?) and the Iranians. Piety for many of the clerics means following the faith of your Imam- Saddam really couldn't give up that much power, so he would never be considered pious by the Imam-centric muslims, because to give up enough power to be pious, he would have had to submit the governance of his actions to a higher authority. I don't imagine there are many muslims anywhere who would honestly believe that Saddam was much of a muslim. You obviously believe it was "just for show"- I think the muslims are probably even more on top of whose a muslim than you are. And who cares about the jihadists? But since you bring them up, be willing to give up your life for the cause gives you certain ...dispensations... or didn't you know that?
