Saddam is a martyr, says Sena mouthpiece

Mumbai, January 2 : Shiv Sena mouthpiece Saamna has strongly criticised the hanging of former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein.

“Saddam was sentenced to death for mass killing, but if we use the same yardstick for America we will have to hang President Bush a thousand times,” says the editorial of the daily. Shiv Sena chief Bal Thackeray is the editor of Saamna.

Thackeray praises Saddam for his fight with the American government. His paper has been publishing pro-Saddam news reports and articles over the last few days. On Monday, it published a full-sized editorial calling the Iraqi dictator a “martyr”.

my insider sourced tell me that killing of saddam was done to apease bood-thirsty shiite-militias..with the promise that if they are allowed to ``have their way`` with the baathist regime elements, they will then stop the violence against iraqi civilians. amrican forces will at this point take tough action against militias on the grounds that they were given their chance at blood-letting, and associated political milage amongst their constituency (i.e. sadr city, marsh-arabs etc). so with this ritual slaughter a new peace shall ensue ..at least that is the idea.

regarding crusades vs gajnavi, noone in christiandom glorifies them as great acts of religiocity..no comparison. weirdest thing is pakis who got the brunt of the rape and pillage worship gajnavi...go figure.

when were the last crusades? ``}

Arjun,
The First Crusade was called by Pope Urban II in 1097, culminating in the sack of Jerusalem in 1099 accompanied by the wholesale massacre of its Muslim and Jewish inhabitants.
The most recent Crusade was called by Pope Bush II in 2001, when he said ``This is a Crusade`` in the White House lawn, this culminated in the bombing and occupation of both Afaghanistan (2001) and Eye Rack (2003) accompanied by the deaths of thousands of Eye Rackis, Afghans, Americans, British, Eye Tallians, and others.

This history lesson is free - the next one may cost ya.

Re: # 156

arjun,

.... when did mahmud ghazni attack india ?

And now, in typically Muslim fashion, the issue over the Sadman Houston execution fiasco has surfaced as a witch hunt for the culprit who recorded the hanging. Astonishingly, the behavior of the taunting Shia executioners is not the glaring problem. The grief is over who had the audacity to expose this travesty and mockery of a state execution. Once again, the traditional Muslim practice of controlling the truth about an evil act takes precedence over the evil act itself.

Nations that write their own history survive, those that let their enemies do it for them - are doomed to be subdued and lost in history.

Well said Akber Saheb. I hope someone listens.

there`s a top secret project on in India to resurrect the g-man from the dead so he can be tried...

Once that`s developed, we`ll let you in on the technology so you can resurrect the killers of millions of bengalis in 71 and try them...

deal?

bloodletting is a tested cure for curing many diseases

....... what is happening in the muslim world - shias and sunnis killing each other - is necessary to cure the disease that has afflicted the ummah since the time of the abominable four ........... it would be nice if we could undo the harm done by the conquest of mecca and restore al-lat and her sisters to their rightful place in the kaaba, but it is too late for that now .......... the only hope we have is that muslims will come around after this round of bloodshed and join the ranks of civilized people .........

okhla writes <<< Hanging of Saddam is but one step forward in the eminently sensible long term US plan for the region -- Control over the oil resources. And this can, in the opinion of the think tank, be easily achieved by balkanisation of the Iran-Iraq-Pakistan region >>>

Only the most diseased mind on earth can claim that the human disaster caused by US global intervention is ``eminently sensible``. There is nothing on the international level that can be ``easily achieved``, your unnamed ``think tank`` thought that Iraq would be a cake walk as well. Because Kuwait is ``easily controlled`` does not mean that other tiny regions can also be easily controlled, there is not much that is uniform between different regions and their neighbours and how they would react, generalizing in this fashion is typical Musharraf BS. Further there is no ``order`` in this chaos, there is chaos and further chaos and human misery. Regardless of your obsession with me, damn fool intellects like you are scattered all over the internet like bird droppings, they don`t fool anyone by merely rehashing official propaganda that the mainstream does a much better job of presenting than diseased minds like yours. You on the other hand are happy polishing the boots of the dictator that polishes the boots of we know who, in all of this your slave mentality and the slave mentality of your mentor are clearly evident.
