Is it perverse that Saddam will be executed on Eid Day, a day for Muslims to celebrate?

Question

Eid ul-Adha is celebrated by Muslims worldwide as a commemoration of Prophet Ibrahim's willingness to sacrifice his son Ismael for God.

Answer 1

I would just like to say that the way the trial and execution went down, it was an insult to all Muslims and Arabs... It was just a big slap to All Muslims and Arabs... They could have waited a couple of days till Eid was over. What a way to commemorate the blessed month.
Doesn’t countries like the US and UK complain about countries like Saudi Arabia where execution is carried out? So, why now approve and condone Saddam’s
Isn’t ‘capital punishment’ against the Western world’s principles? Against Human Rights? Doesn’t America promise democracy to Iraq and at the same time backs a ‘puppet’ government that approves execution? Are we seeing the US’s double standards again?
Whatever Saddam did or did not do, i think what is going on now– all the killings, rape, torture, and the crazy civil war is far worse and that stability, even if under a tyrant, is much better, but i guess it is too late to bring back Saddam Hussein..
Saddam may have been a dictator, killing innocent people, but one shouldn’t not but one shouldn’t not follow his lead, we shouldn’t be as cruel as he is. Executing him on such an auspicious day is not right, nor is it right to dance on the street rejoicing his death. We should instead look at it in a different way, a reminder to all of us that God will punish us, no matter how powerful or powerless we are. We should not stoop so low.
The trial and the way the execution was performed was an insult to all Iraqis and Arabs.

It's funny that some cliches are actually true; the world is a stage.

Answer 2

Hi, Eid Day is Sunday. It starts at sundown on Saturday night and Saddam will be executed before Sunday, in fact he has already been handed over and the execution will be Friday.

Answer 3

The current news is that he will be executed Friday, in advance of the holy day.

I would prefer to wait until mid January sometime, simply because executing him before Eid is helping to martyr him.

But as long as he is executed, I will be happy.

Answer 4

Would be ex cute our own leader in this country on a Sabbath day?
