You miss the point: The Sunnis do not consider the Shi'ites their people. Nor do they consider the Kurds their people, and neither did Saddam. There is a reason why the Sunnis, Shi'ites and Kurds live in different areas of Iraq. The Shi'ites and Kurds were second rate citizens at best, sub-human at worst, and the Kurds got the worst of it being as militant as they are.
The Jews living in Palestine are obviously not considered "their people" by the Palestinians and their administration. As for killing political rivals and threats Arafat did the same thing, Saddam was one of Arafats idols.
No Im not but I know what yur getting at.
Yes if you are only including mass murder yes. he only picked on the Shi Ites and Kurds.
But he didnt hesitate to kill off or have tortured and executed people even within his adminisration on a whim. Or his own people the sunnis based on nothing more then suspicions either
