I was just reading a Road to Emmanus Journal, Vol. X, No. 4 (#39), where they were interviewing Dr. George Bebawi and he mentioned that
" Saddam's family was originally Christian—they only converted to Islam fifty years ago. Tikrit, where Saddaam was from, was a flourishing Christian city then." I been trying to verify this by checking other sources, but it is not mentioned anywhere else. Anybody else know anything about this?
