Egypt condemns Saddam's Eid day execution
2007-01-02
(SomaliNet) Egypt has condemned the execution of former Iraq president, Saddam Hussein on Eid day, a day for celebrations amongst Muslims worldwide.
Egypt regrets the fact that the Iraqi authorities carried out the execution of former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein, and that it took place on the first day of Eid al-Adha.
"Egypt regrets the fact that the Iraqi authorities carried out the execution of former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein, and that it took place on the first day of Eid al-Adha," EgyptÂ’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson, Alaa al-Hadidi said.
"Things like that just make Hosni's neck itch, if y'know whuddamean."
He said that SaddamÂ’s execution to coincide with such a holy day shows a disregard for the Muslim societyÂ’s feelings. "We hope that the execution of the former president at this time... will not lead to more deterioration in the situation and inflame the spirit of revenge, instead of efforts to ensure Iraqi unity," Hadidi said.

#6  For all the admirers of Saddam, any day other that Eid would have been just as bad, if not worse.

#5  OP, a minor quibble, except for the fact that according to "Fohammad" it was Ishmael and not Issac. I understand your main point though. I think the iraqi's need to tell the egyptian's to stfu, none of their damn business, they need to worry about un-f*cking their own pathetic country before pointing fingers at iraq.

#3  Abraham was told to sacrifice Issac to show what God would do for man by offering HIS Son for sacrifice. Saddam was sacrificed to show that no man is above either God's law or man's law. I see nothing "sacriligious" in that. In fact, it seems pretty fitting.
