Yes, for some, but not for all. Please do not paint with too broad a brush.
Although, I noted with no small level of distaste that a book linking Saddam to Babylon (which was originally printed for Gulf War I) has been re-issued... just in time to see Saddam fall flat on his face again. This sort of concoction of bad theology and worse timing, frankly, is an embarassment to thoughtful believers...
