||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| Progressive News & Views (since 1982) ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| TOTALLY INCORRECT, Hank. The Suni are the more secular.of the two factions. Saddam is a Sunni... not a Shia. This shows the misinformation and lack of historical knowledge so many people have of the region.
However, until the invasion.. both sects got along, intermarried...and were not extreme for the most part. This war brought out the most fundamentalist leaders.....who are allied with Iran's Shia rulers. One reason Osama hated Saddam was because of his secular rule and the freedom the Iraqi government gave women. That's FACT. The Shia...now in power under the new government are restoring Sharia law. The Constitution under Saddam was NOT based on the Koran...and was the MOST secular in the region. Please do your research...and understand that you are absolutely misinformed.
