Tariq Aziz was the Deputy Prime Minister of Iraq from 1979-2003 and served as the acting head of state for at least 8 years while Saddam Hussein was not acting in that capacity. He was charged with various crimes against humanity (and convicted) and tape recordings recovered from Iraq proved he was orchestrating these. No mention of his Christian faith was made in the media or the trial, but when each of those charged with lesser crimes were tried, their Muslim faiths were.

Because hes Christian, and of all the nes on trial hes the most likly to be aquitted he even turned himself in as soon as the invasion began! The western media has a large Christian base its advertisers are the ones who truly control the news. They intern are controlled by the consumer.

I don't think anyone cares about his religion. The only references to Saddam Hussein's religion were made by Saddam Hussein and his attorneys. He was looking for sympathy. Apparently Tariq Aziz doesn't think that he will get any sympathy or mercy by mentioning that he is a Christian. He is probably right. Isn't that almost enough to warrant a death penalty in many countries in the Middle East? Why would he want that broadcast? Isn't he already hated enough?

great question Geoffery. many people do not realize that many ARAB are christians out there and they get along as well. and i would have to agree with what you said. however ill stay quiet since i dont know much about the trial. 1 thing is certain bad people come in all faiths i can sit here all day making point after point. Islam, Christianity & Judaism should not be run by these evil people. these are great religions and should be respected and accepted.

Actually, whether Hitler was there or Saddam, the actions were the same. Same as Hitler's Reich-Fuhrer, a well respected German, but, he hung with the wrong crowd. Results the same. If you are a Blood, you die a Blood. Doesn't matter what your faith is....God Bless America !!

Tariq was nothing but a figurehead. Saddam was always in control.
And his religion was mentioned during coverage of his trial.

They might as well have stated "this whole mess could have been avoided if God hadn't mistakenly put our oil way over under the feet of the UNchristians"...Mary

The media is brutalizing the American people.
This is just a byproduct of their bias.
