[ « Previous || Next » ]
Saddam Hussein tries to harness feelings of solidarity among Muslims to his advantage. By portraying himself as a devout believer and invoking the name of Allah in his struggles with the international community, he seeks to frame his conflicts as an Islamic struggle and mode himself as standard-bearer for Muslims.

At a young age he was brutalized at home, ran away to his uncles, and quickly became a thug for an extremist political party.

Today, on Biographics we learn about the life of Iraq’s former president Saddam Hussein.
Early Life
On April 28, 1937, Saddam Hussein was born to a peasant woman in a mud and straw village called Al-Awja near Tikrit, on the banks of the Tigris River. Saddam bore the physical mark of his tribe on the wrist of his right hand; a tattoo of three dark blue dots. Most people in his village lived in severe poverty and life was difficult. Saddam’s father, a sheepherder, disappeared before he was born. The
