Why is it strange ? And why are you surprised that many are fans of the late President of Iraq ? Admiration for Saddam Hussein is widespread in the Arab World.

Time to get out of that "Expat Bubble" !

I am surprised because that guy simply killed too many Arabs , it is beyond me why they love him

He also killed a lot of Shia Iranians , opposed the West , the Kuwaitis and Saudis. I know when I lived there were quiet murmurings from a few Arabs who weren't too unhappy that the Kuwaitis got a lickin.

There are many point of views that I will never going to understand , among there are the glorification of totalitarians like Saddam and the mentality that does not find Nazism morally repulsive ...

Knowing something does not mean that you accept it , which is what I meant , and NO , I think that I know better than to base my opinions on TV shows and movies .

I presume that you are an expert on the ME . yes ? :zzz:

I studied at a reputable university and I can read and write, although my Arabic is now a bit rusty !

Appalled at the levels of ignorance amongst the general populace who have been conned by the PR machine run by our masters !

Of course "Braveheart" is a load of tosh but I am surrounded by those who think "Reach for the Sky", "The Dambusters" and "The Great Escape" are close to reality !
