Saddam's hanging has been a topic at work. I was a bit surprised that some were not perturbed that his executioners taunted him and behaved in an uncivilized manner. Their response was that Iraq and Islam in general is a culture of savagery. I was responding like a Christian American.
My co-workers are right. Islam isn't known for it's civil behavior either toward non-Muslins or their own Muslin brothers. Given the bad feelings that Iraq's Shiites had after a few decades of abuse at the hands of Saddam, when given the opportunity, they are going to give Saddam the same abuse.

certainly they don't treat each other as well as the catholic v. protestant northern irish.
so, are you saying certain non-christian savagery is okay, excusable, what jesus would shrug his shoulders over, as in, "whatcha gonna do?"
or were you being cleverly ironic?
