Wrong, the Thugs and terrorists may have had state sponsorship by being in the military or in the Government, but claiming that the entire apperatus was non Muslim is ignorant. The people were then and still are Muslim.
Further claiming that because yesterday Saddam did it and now today "Muslims" do it and it was ok before is pathetic.
The Muslim clerics that are leading the non AQ forces existed BEFORE Saddam was ousted. Their followers existed BEFORE Saddam was ousted.
Further Terrorists WERE in Iraq before Saddam was ousted. They may have not been attacking Government forces, but they were there as were the thugs.
The state apparatus was Ba'athist. A secular pan-Arab socialist party. Sure, individuals may have been Muslim, among other religions but the party itself and its apparatus were secular.
About the terrorists inside Iraq when he was still in charge, that's interesting. Who were they?
