As the Bible says, another wrong does not excuse the original wrong.

I know this is giong to be hard for a lot of you to believe, but it's the truth and you can find it in the Quran. What he did was NOT Islamic. True muslims know you don't run around killing innocent people and blowing yourself up while doing so. The Quran specifically says not to kill, do not commit suicide, and only take revenge if you are attacked and even then it's better in the eyes of God to forgive. Saddam murdered whole villages and cities for what a few people did, including babies from the pictures I saw. Hanging him was a very NICE way to go about it. Here is what the Quran says about murder, and what it says about taking life.
"...If anyone kills a person - unless it be for murder or for spreading mischief in the land - it would be as if he killed all people. And if anyone saves a life, it would be as if he saved the life of all people" (Qur'an 5:32).
"...Take not life, which God has made sacred, except by way of justice and law. Thus does He command you, so that you may learn wisdom" (6:151).
So yes, I as a muslim woman with two babies of my own, do agree with it. Who knows how far he might have gone. I don't agree with this lying media due to the fact that I was in Pakistan when the war started and came back hearing totally different accounts of hearsay on the news when I saw actual video footage of the truth on their networks, but I do think Saddam was horrible. As many muslims in Pakistan say "Saddam was horrible, but Bush is worse".

1. There is no such quote in the Bible.
2. The Bible is PRO capital punishment. Somehow I think you missed that.
3. Saddam Hussein wasn't tried by a Biblical court. He was tried and executed under his own country's civil courts for mass murder, and then hanged.

#1 We did not execute Saddam.The elected govt. of Iraq did.
#2 They are not a Judeo- Christian Country so the Bible doesn't apply.
#3 This guy is responsible for the murders and torture of thousands.
#4 The Bible does condone Capital punishment in the Old and the New Testament.
Paul says ,in Romans,"Obey the laws,for the goverment does not wield the sword for nothing." and in the Old.. " If anyman sheds innocent blood by man shall his blood be required"
and of course...an eye for an eye..

The Bible says to obey the laws of the land. If you disobey a law, you are subject to the penalties for that offense in that land or country. God does not have a problem with the execution of a mass murderer since He invented laws. Get it right, Saddam was not murdered, he was executed for his horrendous crimes. PEACE!!!

The bible also says an eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth. This is a proscription against disproportionate punishment, but considering the hundreds of thousands of people that Saddam killed, his execution (and it was NOT murder) is fully justified.

There has to be laws of the land or there would be utter chaos. The families of the murdered victims seek justice and letting this guy off sets a lack of principle in motion. Instead of the media capturing his worried expression, they should be airing the bodies of the slain victims all thousands of them.

there is a law of you reap what you sow in the Bible....here on earth as well as in the here after...I consider this justice on earth for all the hate and destruction he has brought upon children and adults of his own country.....more than half of what he did was barbaric and God does not expect us to allow those who do such things to go unpunished.....read the word it is in there all over the Bible....we are a people of peace but also a people who stand up for those who cant do it themselves....his destruction was not wrong as you say...he had to pay the price for what he did...just as any one else would have to do.....you live by the sword you will die by the sword...and he surely did both....

Where does the Bible say that??
What the Bible does say is :Genesis 9:6 "Whoever sheds man's blood, By man his blood shall be shed, For in the image of God He made man." It is good to see a country actually do what God says for once.

"WE" didn't kill him or even have him killed. Saddam was tried, convicted and executed by the Iraqi government.
Where was that saying you quote in the Bible? I've been reading the Bible for over half a century and never heard of it.

Apparently you don't understand that government is there to protect the people and for the punishment of evildoers as given in Scripture.
Better learn the Scriptures instead of misquoting it.
