It is also important to note that religious radicals of any stripe are always the loudest when it comes to spouting religious rhetoric, yet they are also the first to ignore their own religious edicts...resorting to unrestrained violence and terrorism in the delusional belief that "the ends justify the means".
In pursuit of their terrorist activities, they rarely have any qualms about the religious morals of those that can supply them with their weapons of violence and destruction.
This is true whether it is an Al-Queada member crashing a jet airliner into the World Trade Center or a Christian fanatic bombing an abortion clinic or shooting the doctor that performs the procedures. To the best of my knowledge, there is NO religion that expressly endorses and promotes violence against others as a means to support the values it teaches. So ANY religious terrorist has automatically ignored the teachings of their theology when they resort to terroristic violence.
The point is - for the Al-Queada to now turn around and say they wouldn't deal with Saddam Hussein because of his lack of religious morals rings extremely hollow to my ears.
