Deccan Herald - Letters to the Editor

Needs condemnation Sir,

Watching former Iraq dictator Saddam Hussein on the gallows (without offering his Eid-ul-Adha prayers) was demeaning. He was a leader of a nation prior to its invasion. Though one can’t take away the tyranny he caused, especially annihilating his own people and halting the progress of his nation, religious sentiments must be respected. The day chosen for his sentence – Eid that commemorates sacrifice of Prophet Ibrahim and Prophet Ismail – is sacrilegious and deserves condemnation.
