He was secular only to the extent he kept down the mullahs to keep himself in power.
But let's be honest, Ty. He played the muslim jihad card whenever and wherever convenient (e.g. paying off martyrs to kill Israelis, etc.)
And your buddy Atticus will remind you, that in the Arab world, the old adage "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" is a truism.
