Saddam was a very evil person,he killed thousands of men women and children without any remorse.One most note that he mainly killed Muslims and not westerners and other people.His aim was to have full control on Iraq.There is nothing like a Muslim extreamist or fundmentalist these people are not Muslims but rather evil people calling themsleve Musilms and doing these evile acts.
The only thing that real Muslims are extream about are the following
Extreamely-
Kind
Honest
Forgiving
Hard working
God Fearing
Etc. The list goes on so people who thinks that Muslims are bad please do your research Muslims are not otherwise it would have not been the fastest growing religion in the world right now.
