1979, kurz nachdem er Präsident des Irak geworden war, erhielt Saddam Hussein einen Glückwunschbrief von einem Priester aus Detroit – Pater Jacob Yasso von der Sacred Heart Chaldean Catholic Church.
Saddams Antwort? Er schickte eine 250.000 $ Spende zur Kirche.
Ja – derselbe Mann, der später als einer der brutalsten Diktatoren der Welt verunglimpft wurde, spendete einmal eine Viertelmillion Dollar an eine Kirche in Michigan.
Geschichte ist wild.

SS: In 1979, Saddam Hussein donated **$250,000** to a Catholic church in Detroit after receiving a congratulatory letter from its pastor. A surreal moment in history — the future dictator funding a U.S. church.
Remember when the Taliban were „heroes“ in Rambo III? It wasn’t just in the movie. Same with Bin Laden.
Ever see the picture of us giving him some cowboy boots? Like Christmas morning.
I mean, Saddam was profoundly anti-American Estabilishment, as is the Catholic Church. Maybe it was a matter as simples and both of them holding the same enemies in the form of North American capitalism/imperialism and North American protestat/neo-pent churches.
I wish someone would donate 250k to my church
This OP has posted multiple AI pictures and stories today. Mods ??

What he wanted a date with some underage kids?
His sons also kidnapped, violated then fed women to dogs sooo theres that…
Did get get given the key to the city of Chicago? It was either him or Osama bin Laden i forget
Why’s liam neeson there.
That guy in the back looks like a robot.
It was a Chaldean church, which is catholic
The Chaldeans are a minority from Iraq and most of them live in the Detroit area
Hitlr was Time Magazine Man of the Year
Honestly, weird as it sounds, it tracks given Hussein’s ego. He just enjoyed that an American priest was praising him and 250k was couch coins to him.
I knew a Kurdish guy and he told me that Saddam, to celebrate his 50th birthday, bought everyone in Iraq who was born on his birthday, same year a brand new Mercedes and Gold Rolex.
The guy was a patsy.
