Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami

Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami (Bengali: বাংলাদেশ জামায়াতে ইসলামী), previously known as Jamaat-e-Islami Bangladesh (a.k.a 'Jamaat'), is the largest Islamist political party in Bangladesh. It is one of the largest Islamic parties on the subcontinent, lead by several war criminals of 1971, among whom is the party chief Ghulam Azam (former chief of Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami), who was exiled from Bangladesh.

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.

A large number of members of the party have played a crucial role in the 1971 Bangladesh atrocities during the liberation war, such as in organized killing of intellectuals, genocide and violence against women. It is a member of the Four Party Alliance.
