re: #12 Archangelus

And by that simple rule, neither Syria nor Iraq would apply. Hell, Saddam added the words “Allah Ackbar” (God is great) to the country’s flag.

When did Saddam add that, was it during the time his regime was under threat from the USA for 20 some odd years and he needed to rally his people round the flag?

And the USA has “In God We Trust” on our money. I guess the USA is not a secular nation either.
