The Ultimate Sacrifice

It was “a slap in the face” for Islam and Muslims, Sunnis and Shiites alike, when Saddam Hussein was hanged on the Day of Sacrifice (Eid-ul-Adha). He may have been a tyrant or dictator during his lifetime, but in his final moments, he appeared calm, composed and dignified, in contrast to the ”despicable heckling” from certain bloodhounds. By being a “sacrificial scapegoat” at the altar of political expediency, he may very well be remembered as an Icon or Matyr for the Palestinians, the Arab World and Beyond.
Al-fatihah for the late Saddam Hussein. May his soul rest in peace in the hereafter.
