#3 I'm reminded of the Biafran War, where the nominal head of state of the mostly Moslem part of Nigeria was a christian too.

#5 Remember that one of Saddam's top guys was a Christian as well, the red-headed one. The point being, the religious minorities in the Muslim world will often work with the strongest Muslim party that will offer them protection.

The redhead Izzat Ibrahim ad-Douri "King of Clubs" is Muslim, whereabouts unknown.

Gray haired Tariq Aziz, a Chaldean Catholic, is in the cooler for life.

#7 Okay, wrong hair color. But I knew one of Saddam's inner circle was a Christian of some denomination.
