Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami (Bengali: বাংলাদেশ জামায়াতে ইসলামী, previously known as Jamaat-e-Islami Bangladesh, and Jamaat for short,[1] is the largest Islamist political party in Bangladesh,[2][3] though they have removed the phrase "Rule of Allah" from their party charter.[4]
A large number of members of the party have played a crucial in the 1971 Bangladesh atrocities during the liberation war, such as in organized killing of intellectuals, genocide and violence against women.[5][6][7][8]
Jamaat joined the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) in an alliance and lead a four-party coalition government during 2001-2006 and held two Ministries in Khaleda Zia's government. They are an anti-liberation front who openly attempted to stop the liberation of Bangladesh from Pakistan, believing it would have existed better as a dominated Islamic state under Pakistani rule.
