Jami'at-i Islami

Jami'at-i Islami is an Afghan political party and Islamist organization founded in the 1970s, advocating for Islamic principles in governance and society. It has played a significant role in Afghanistan's political history, especially during conflicts like the Soviet invasion and the civil war. The group seeks to implement Sharia law and has been involved in both militant and political activities. While it claims to promote stability and Islamic values, its methods and approach have been subjects of controversy and concern, reflecting Afghanistan’s complex religious and political landscape.
