quote:Saddam was Ba'ath, ISIS is Salafist. Two different things. Ba'athists are Arab nationalists first and Muslims second. They will make use of religion but more as an "opiate of the masses" type thing. They don't like sectarian conflicts within their borders. Salafists are true believers, and will fight anyone who believes differently from them without regard for national borders or realpolitik.
Also, my next question is, I was thinking about the Tomb of Jonah being blown up by ISIS in Mosul. Isn't ISIS mostly Sunni like Hussein was?
