In addition, this Table lists major attacks (or plots) since 2002 that are directly linked to Deoband groups: A simple search query of their database, using keywords such as ' Jamaat' or ' Mujahideen,' reveals that a variety of Deoband-linked groups have been involved in these violent attacks every year since 9/11, including 75 attacks by the Afghan Taliban during the month of Ramadan 2019, which killed more than 400 people and injured more than 500. Since September 11, 2001, the Religion of Peace website has compileeed a year-by-year list of more than 35,000 Jihad attacks around the world. These seven Deoband organizations include (in bold font) the 055 Brigade ( aka the Shadow Army, composed of a mixture of mercenary Jihad fighters from the Middle East, Central Asia & Southeast Asia that were integrated into the Taliban from 1995-2001), the Islamic Jihad Group ( Egypt), Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan, Turkistan Islamic Movement ( or Party), Abu Sayyaf in the Philippines (Jihadist pirates also known as the Islamic State in the Philippines), Chechen & North Caucasian Jihad Groups, Uyghur Jihad Groups (Xinjiang Province, Western China), Harkat-ul Mujahideen ( Pakistan), Lashkar-E-Taiba ( Pakistan), Sipah-e-Sahaba ( Pakistan), Lashkar-e-Jhangvi ( Afghanistan), Harkat-Ul-Jihad Al-Islami ( Pakistan) and the Taliban, aka the Deobandi Taliban ( Afghanistan). Originally called the World Islamic Front ( aka the International Islamic Front), this global coalition also included at least 14 international pro-Jihad organizations, with at least seven from the Deoband branch of Islam. To understand how this happened, it is important to recognize that what is commonly known today as Al-Qaeda (AQ) was actually founded in February of 1998 by five well-known Islamic leaders. In other words, IS-Khorasan is maintaining its numbers in Afghanistan by recruiting disgruntled fighters from the Taliban, which is a 100% pure Deoband group, while the "jihadis from further afield" mentioned above are being drawn from a nearly-endless supply of fighters linked to a kaleidoscope of Deoband groups operating in Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, Bangladesh and Myanmar, known collectively as Al-Qaeda of the Indian Subcontinent ( AQIS).ĭeoband Groups in Al-Qaeda and Now In AQIS “Yet despite losing key leaders and suffering constant setbacks on the battlefield, IS-Khorasan found a way to maintain its numbers, successfully recruiting disgruntled Taliban fighters as well as jihadis from further afield. Newly unclassified intelligence suggests IS-Khorasan, as the group is known, is growing both in numbers and ambition, now boasting as many as 5,000 fighters - nearly five times as many as estimates from last year - while turning its focus to bigger and more spectacular attacks.” “The collapse of the Islamic State’s self-declared caliphate in Syria and Iraq is doing little to slow down the terror group’s branch in Afghanistan. Sadly, it has taken a sequence of major Jihad attacks, such as the Decemshootings in San Bernardino, California and the Apbombings in Sri Lanka, to push these major Deoband groups onto the counterterrorism radar screen (for a brief summary, see the Table below).įor example, as stated in the article entitled "Islamic State in Afghanistan Growing Bigger, More Dangerous": However, these influential Deoband groups have somehow managed to escape the effective scrutiny of a majority of intel analysts and counter-terrorism specialists in the East, and in the West. For at least 20 years, Salafi, pro-Jihad Deoband groups like Tablighi Jamaat, Tawheed Jamaath and the Taliban have been part of a global coalition of violent Islamic organizations.
