Today's W. T. Fuck! www.guardian.co.uk/world/2010/dec/19/saddam-legacy-quran-iraqi-government(and shoot the translator) "What is in here is priceless, worth absolutely millions of dollars," said Sheikh Ahmed al-Samarrai, head of Iraq's Sunni Endowment fund... but also: "It was wrong to do what he did, to write it in blood," says Sheikh Samarrai. "It is haraam [forbidden]." Oh well, rumour has it he was always a teeny bit of a nutbag, and a rapscallion to boot. And he didn't use his poo. |

I'll just say that that is the most creepy thing I've read in a long time.

If this was fiction it would be badass. But because this is reality, creepy.

This isn't the first I've heard about this. When people accused Saddam's regime of being "secular" this is one of the points Christopher Hitchens brought up to attack that claim.

I don't see any contradiction. Just because your dictator is religious and moderately crazy doesn't mean you're living in a theocracy. |

His history of persecuting Shiite Muslims was another. |

Not disputing his theocratic-ness or lack thereof, I just don't think that particular example is demonstrative of anything except his own insanity. They should burn it. it might be a horcrux. Regular fire isn't enough to destroy horcruxes. |

Regular fire isn't enough to destroy horcruxes. Well I would say it's not just mere insanity, but rather religious fanaticism. I believe he also tried to rebuild Babylon with bricks inscribed with his name. |

It might also be megalomania and a desire to semi-deify himself. (A common ploy of people who came to power violently, although generally itt needs superstitious peasants for complicity.)

If this was fiction it would be badass. But because this is reality, creepy. OK, creepypasta time. THIS IS THE STORY OF A DAY WHERE THERE WAS ALL THIS BLOOD. A MAN WAS WALKING AROUND AND BLOOD STARTED COMING OUT OF HIM EVERYWHERE. THERE WAS SO MUCH BLOOD THAT IT FILLED UP AN ELEVATOR. HE WENT TO THE STORE AND THERE WAS JUST BLOOD ALL OVER THE PLACE! PEOPLE WERE SLIPPING IN IT AND THEY WERE ALL GROSSED OUT. HE TRIED TO GO SWIMMING AND ALL OF THE SHARKS WENT NUTS AND BITTENED EVERYBODY. HE GOT CHASED BY ALL THE VAMPIRES EVER. ONE TIME THE BLOOD GOT A KID AND A DOG. AT THE END OF THE DAY EVERYONE DECIDED THEY WOULD SEND HIM TO SPACE SO THAT HE WOULD STOP GETTING BLOOD EVERY WHERE. THE SCARIEST PART IS THAT THE MAN WAS SADDAM!!! |
