Islam Declares Only Third "Tumadikum!” In 100 Years

“Iraq Tumadikum!” – We March on Iraq!

DEBKAfile

5 September 2003

Radical Islamic voices have called on the faithful around the world to join up for a fight in Iraq under the rallying slogan of “Iraq Tumadikum!” – We March on Iraq!

Only two such call-ups are known to have been issued in the 20th century: From 1982-1987, Muslims were called to fight a Jihad in Afghanistan against the Soviet Red Army.

In 1989, the Muslim world was rallied by the slogan of “Palestine Tumadikum!”

Now for the first time in the 21st century, Muslims are being called to fight – this time against the Americans in Iraq.
