Sorry, I just found this a bit amusing and hypocritical. I read it on Boortz, though I'm not sure where the original report can be found...

OK ... maybe it's just me, but I thought that Muslims had some sort of a problem with pork. They aren't supposed to eat the stuff, and so far as I know they won't even watch a simple Porky Pig cartoon. So when will the outrage boil over in the oh-so-peaceful Islamic world over the revelation that Saddam Hussein had several cans of Spam in his little hideout in Iraq? You do know what the ingredients are in Spam, don't you? In case you missed it, here you are:
Chopped pork shoulder meat with ham meat added.
Salt (for binding, flavour, and firmness)
Water (to help in mixing)
Sugar (for flavour)
Sodium Nitrite (for colour and as a preservative)
Yup, that's straight from the Spam website ... and the number one ingredient is PORK! Some Muslim, that Saddam.

Yes, indeed. According to this report, they did find Spam.
although my muslim friends takes the whole pork thing seriously, I cant even have pizza with him due to the pepperoni. either way who cares about saddam and pork, he only used islam as a leverage, just like the republicains do with christianity here.

some of my muslim friends don't even follow that rule
Jesus christ, doesn't anyone have a sense of humor? Some take it more seriously than others. One of my best friends is a staunch muslim and he would not touch a piece of pork regardless of the circumstances. I realize that there are plenty of muslims that don't follow as seriously, but in a region as politicized as the middle-east, when you're talking about leaders of nations who declare holy wars in the name of their religion----yes, I find it both funny and hypocritical.
Seriously...it's ok to laugh.

come on. You've got to be kidding me. How do you expect to survive the real world when your skin is so thin?
I'm real sorry I'm mature enough to look at something like this and make light of the situation and have a cheap laugh.
It's just as funny as watching the biggest whore in your highschool run off and have a white wedding. Gimme a damn break. You take yourself waaaaaaayyyy to seriously for me.
Remember Cyrus--It's the Internet, man. Relax.

Most (including myself) bring up topics that support our agenda. While I'm not offended I tend to see Cyrus's point.
More importantly your Spam revelation isn't that surprising. It’s widely known that Iraq is a secular state and Saddam is not religious man. He has banned many Islamic practices and ceremonies. He only plays the role of dutiful Muslim when he is seeking Arab support. So it's no big deal he eats Spam.
