He was a Sunni Muslim, but this was more of an ethnicity than his actual devout belief. He was relatively non-religious.

Yes, he is a Muslim. However, he was not that religious and identified as a Muslim more in an "ethnic" sense than a "faith" sense.

No. Saddam Hussein was a nominal Sunni Muslim. He was not a member of any Sufi Order, nor did he support or condone Sufism.

Saddam Hussein was a Sunni Muslim, but this is more of an ethnic statement in his case than a religious statement. By and large, Saddam lived a non-religious life.
