Jamaat-e-Islami - History
The Jamaat-e-Islami was founded in South Asia by Syed Ab'ul Ala Maududi in 1941. Although its original purpose was to promote Islamic values and practices in South Asia, it originally objected to the Pakistan movement and said that Islam was a universal religion not subject to national boundaries. It changed its position, however, once the decision was made to division of South Asiaon the basis of religion. In 1947 Maududi redefined the JI's purpose as the establishment of an Islamic state in Pakistan. Following partition the branches of the movement which remained in India was converted into a separate organization, Jamaat-e-Islami, Hind. That organization does not engage in active politics, but keeps its activities to philanthropy.
At the time of the Bangladeshi liberation struggle, Jamaat-e-Islami actively supported the Pakistani regime. Jamaat had its own paramilitary wing, al-Badr, and committed various atrocities against the Bengali people. Following the independence of Bangladesh Jamaat was banned. Later however the Jamaat followers were was allowed to establish a legal political party, Jamaat-e-Islami Bangladesh.
Jamat-e-Islami also initiated and took part in violent movements against the members of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community in Pakistan in both 1953 and 1974. This resulted in enacting of various anti-Ahmadiyya laws in Pakistan, violating the international charter of human rights to which Pakistan is a signatory. The result has been a considerable persecution of Ahmadis at the hands of both the Pakistan Government and the religious fanatics. Jamat-e-Islami to this date opposes repulsion of such laws from the Pakistani constitution.
Post 9/11 many of the Al-Qaida terrorists in Pakistan were captured from the houses belonging to the members of Jamat-e-Islami. This has highlighted the way that Jamat-e-Islami supports terrorism under-hand while on the face professing to be a legitimate political party. [1][2]
In the legislative elections of Pakistan on October 20, 2002, Jamaat-e-Islami got 11.3% of the popular vote and 53 out of 272 elected members.
