The Faith Campaign (Arabic: الحملة الايمانية, romanized: al-Ḥamla al-Īmāniyya) was an Islamist campaign conducted by the Iraqi Ba'ath Party, beginning in 1993. The campaign involved a variety of policies, including greater freedoms being granted to Islamist groups, greater resources being put into religious programmes, increased use of Islamic punishments, and a greater emphasis being put on Islam in all sectors of Iraqi life.[1]
The campaign was conducted under the supervision of Izzat Ibrahim al-Douri, who would later become Saddam Hussein's successor as leader of the Ba'ath party. Douri used the campaign to promote his Naqshbandi Sufi order, which would later form the nucleus of the Army of the Men of the Naqshbandi Order.[2][3]
