==History==<br />
HuJI or HJI was formed in 1984, during the [[Soviet–Afghan War]], by [[Fazlur Rehman Khalil]] and [[Qari Saifullah Akhtar]]. Khalil later broke away to form his own group, [[Harkat-ul-Ansar]] (HuA), which became the most feared militant organisation in Kashmir.<ref>{{cite book |last=Hussain |first=Zahid |year=2007 |title=Frontline Pakistan: The Struggle with Militant Islam |publisher=Columbia University Press |page=71 |isbn=978-0-231-14224-3 |quote=In 1984 Khalil, along with another militant leader Saifullah Akhtar, founded Harkat-al-Jihad-al-Islami (HJI) ... A few years later he broke away to form his own group, Harkat-ul-Ansar (HuA). By 1990, HuA had emerged as one of the most feared militant groups fighting in Kashmir.}}</ref> This group would later re-form as [[Harkat-ul-Mujahideen]] (HuM), when HuA was banned by the United States in 1997.<ref>{{cite book |last=Hussain |first=Zahid |year=2007 |title=Frontline Pakistan: The Struggle with Militant Islam |publisher=Columbia University Press |page=72 |isbn=978-0-231-14224-3 |quote=HuA was one of the groups on the [1997 list of terrorist organizations]. After being blacklisted by the US administration it resurfaced under a new banner, HuM.}}</ref><br />
<br />
HuJI first limited its operations in Afghanistan to defeat the Communists, but after the Soviets retreated, the organisation exported jihad to the Indian state of [[Jammu and Kashmir (state)|Jammu and Kashmir]]. HuJI's influence expanded into Bangladesh when the [[Harkat-ul-Jihad-al-Islami Bangladesh|Bangladesh unit]] was established in 1992, with direct assistance from [[Osama bin Laden]].<ref name="Asia Times article">Sudha Ramachandran.

<br />
==Ideology==<br />
The organisation along with other jihadists groups such as [[Harkat-ul-Mujahideen]], [[Jaish-e-Mohammed]], [[Al-Qaeda]] & [[Lashkar-e-Taiba]] had similar motivations and goals.Harkat-ul-Jihad al-Islami and [[Harkat-ul-Mujahideen]] were both strongly backed by the [[Taliban]] & therefore the group professed [[Taliban]]-style [[Islamic fundamentalism|fundamentalist Islam]] The organisation aims to spread [[Islamism|Radical Islamist ideology]] to liberate the [[Kashmir]], [[Afghanistan]], [[State of Palestine|Palestine]] & the rest of Islamic lands from the clutches of the enemies of [[Islam]] & enforce [[Sharia law]] in [[Muslim]] majority areas.<ref>{{cite book |last=Hussain |first=Zahid |year=2007 |title=Frontline Pakistan: The Struggle with Militant Islam |publisher=Columbia University Press |page=52 |isbn=978-0-231-14224-3 |quote=The first Pakistani jihadist group emerged in 1980 ...
