Iraq flag 1991 to 2004

On 13 January 1991, the flag was modified by Flag Law No. 6 of 1991. At the instigation of Saddam Hussein, the takbīr (the phrase Allahu akbar, meaning “God is great” in Arabic) was added in green between the stars. The form of the takbīr was said to be Saddam’s own handwriting. Many interpreted the addition of the sacred Islamic text as an attempt to garner wartime support from previously outlawed religious Iraqi leaders, to stop the disrespect of the Iraqi flag in Iraqi-occupied Kuwait, and to bolster the Iraqi government’s Islamic credentials in the period immediately preceding the Persian Gulf War.
