The movement is primarily worn by the ethnic group of Pashtuns. It is considered a spiritual origin of the Taliban movement, whose members were trained to a large extent in lead by the JUI madrasas.
Ideology
The Jamiat Ulema -e -Islam is continuously working to transform the law and the laws of the country after reading their concept of Islam. Ideologically, it is described as uncompromisingly rigid, insisting on strict enforcement of traditional Islamic law. The JUI helped in the establishment of thousands of madrasahs in Pakistan, more than any other religious movement.
History
The organization was created in 1945 as a spin-off from Jamiat Ulema -e- Indian Hind who took the position that Muslims could live in a country where they were in the minority. She was at first a purely religious movement. Only later, under the leadership by Maulana Ghulam Ghaus Hazarvi was a political party of her. Maulana Mufti Mahmud in 1970 awarded her a populist orientation and positioned them against the military rule. With this program, as well as a progressive social concept and strongly anti - American and anti-imperialist rhetoric, it was quite successful in the elections 1970. The Jamaat -e -Islami she was then in years of rivalry.
After 1972, she put together with the Awami Party government in the province of Baluchistan and the North -West Frontier Province (now Khyber Pakhtunkhwa ). At the federal level it was in opposition to the dictatorship of General Zia -ul- Haq and also rejected the program of Islamization from which she perceived as opportunistic. In 1981, she teamed up with the secular and socialist parties together for " Movement for the Restoration of Democracy " (MRD ) against Zia -ul- Haq's military dictatorship and the imposition of martial law.
While the Jamaat -e -Islami was supported in the 1980s by Pakistan 's ISI and used, as a connection to the Afghan Mujahideen, the JUI has been largely ignored by the government. She built during this period hundreds of madrasas in the area inhabited by Pashtun Afghan-Pakistani border strip in Balochistan and NWFP. There were young Afghan refugees free education, housing and food, as well as paramilitary training. From them, the Taliban movement was born. Through them, the JUI won also influence the Pashtuns in southern Afghanistan.
1993, the JUI alliance with the Pakistan People's Party of Benazir Bhutto and was named after its election victory of the ruling coalition. Mufti Mahmud's son Fazlur Rehman became the Chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the National Assembly. He used this position to promote in the U.S., Europe, Saudi Arabia and the Gulf States for the Taliban. Sami ul Haq founded meanwhile his extremist breakaway from the JUI. In his Madrasa Dar -ul- Uloom Haqqania the most important Taliban leaders were trained.
In 2002, the JUI concluded with the Jamaat -e -Islami for alliance Muttahida Majlis -e- Amal ( MMA) together. Its strongholds are in the poverty-stricken and populated by Pashtun regions that border Afghanistan, the Federally Administered Tribal Areas, Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa provinces.
