Saddam has a bad rep amongst muslims, because Iraq is not governed by muslim law. Thanks to Saddam that is, and most muslims would rather die than to work with the Baath-party (Saddams party btw).
Saddam is an enemy to them. Fuck, the whole Iran-Iraq-thing was about mostly religion.

False the whole Iran-Iraq think was Saddam trying to consolidate power because even back in the day he was very paranoid. At the time leading up to the Iran-Iraq war you had the Islamic Revolution in Iran, Saddam was secular and feared that the Shiites in Iraq would rally behind the Ayatollah and revolt.
