Letter to Globe Dec 20th re Saddam's Bllod koran A15

I'm confused. Saddam was a secular Muslim who ran a secular country and yet he wrote the Koran in his blood. If this is a moderate or a secular Muslim, what is a radical Muslim? Is it someone who writes the Koran in someone else's blood? Sheik Samarrai says that writing the Koran in blood is forbidden and yet he is protecting the document. Isn't this politics overriding religion and isn't this proof that politics and religion are inseparable in Islam? Lastly since Iraq is mostly Muslim and therefore is part of the World of Peace, yet is wracked by war between the Sunnies and the Shiites; and the West is part of the World of War, and yet is peaceful, isn't there something wrong with the concept of Jihad which tries to bring the World of Peace to the World of War when there is war in the world of Peace and peace in the World of War? It's much too complicated for this average Canadian.
