Late Saddam Hussain kissing Holy Qur'an |
Reports from Iraq say that the new puppet Iraqi regime is struggling to come up with a solution to dealing with a copy of Holy Qur'an that Saddam Hussain had written with his own blood. Iraqi leaders have worked to erase lingering memories and artifacts of Saddam’s dictatorial rule, but they are mystified with what to do with with valuable relic.
The creation of this unique Holy Qur'an took over two years. It was etched in Saddam's blood in a ghoulish bid for piety. Slate notes that Saddam was never one for subtlety, and that this undertaking would serve propaganda purposes for when the dictator need to be seen as pious; he “decided to show the world that he was willing to literally sacrifice his blood for the sake of his religion.”

Holy Qur'an written with Saddam Hussain's 27 litres of Blood |
Saddam himself dedicated the book to God:
“My life has been full of dangers in which I should have lost a lot of blood…but since I have bled only a little, I asked somebody to write God’s words with my blood in gratitude”, President Saddam Hussain said in a letter published in the official media. Over the course of two painstaking years in the late 1990s, Saddam Hussain had sat regularly with a nurse and an Islamic calligrapher; the former drawing 27 litres of his blood and the latter using it as a macabre ink to transcribe a Qur’an. But since the fall of Baghdad, almost eight years ago, it has stayed largely out of sight - locked away behind three vaulted doors. No wonder why Saddam Hussain had the "weapons of mass destruction" as the west calls it, because after being their stooge for a long time, Saddam had finally come back to Allah, realizing the reality of those Satans. And Qur'an is indeed synonymous to "WMDs" for the Satans.
