himself as heir to the Babylonian King Nebuchadnezzar, who had "no
opponents from horizon to sky." 139 In Iraq, ceremonies are held symbolizing
the resurrection of the Babylonian Empire, in a manner that recalls the pagan
ceremonies of the Nazis. Nebuchadnezzar, who destroyed the temple of
Solomon and carried the People of Israel to captivity in Babylon, is known to
history for two characteristics, that of a ruthless commander, and a great
architect. He was also filled with a pride bordering on the psychopathic. He
had his name written on every one of the bricks used in the construction of the
buildings he had erected. In direct imitation, and despite all the poverty and
misery he inflicts on his people, Saddam has his name written on the bricks
used to build the palaces he constructs so ostentatiously.
A great portion of the Iraqi people, however, have been so
psychologically deformed by Saddam's fascism, that they do not see the
construction of such palaces as a wrong or as an injustice to them. On the
contrary, they regard these palaces, where Saddam lives in great luxury, as a
matter of national honor, and something Iraq can display proudly to foreigners.
Another example of Saddam's fascist character is that, although he has
no religious belief, he sometimes puts on a false facade of religion to use
religion for his own political ends.
However, it is clear that the use of religious symbols for improper ends
(such as to keep Saddam in power and spreading evil) is tremendous
hypocrisy. The duty of the Iraqi people, and indeed of everyone, when faced
with fascism, is not to be deceived by its propaganda methods, but to
distinguish between the truly devout and the fascists who just pretend to be so,
and to then act accordingly. It is not difficult to make out the difference
between the two, because a fascist can never be truly devout.
In the Koran, God has this to say about these two-faced leaders who,
through their power and ill-earned respect, deceive their people into
complacency:
Among the people there is someone whose words about the life of the
world excite your admiration, and he calls God to witness what is in
his heart, while he is in fact the most hostile of adversaries. Whenever
he holds the upper hand, he goes about the earth corrupting it,
destroying crops and animals. God does not love corruption. When he
is told to have fear of God, he is seized by pride which drives him to
wrongdoing. Hell will be enough for him! What an evil resting-place!
(Koran, 2:204-206)
