ummah

Al-Diqqi attempted to form the Ummah party in 2012 following the arrests of several prominent Islamists.

Mohammad wanted to form a tribe or ummah that was connected through faith, as opposed to blood ties.

For ideologues, in a battle over loyalty between the Army and the ummah, the “Ummah” wins.

This attempt to push an “Ummah” is the politics of ideologues of puritanical Islam who want to mollify dissent.

In a September letter to Muslims, Mullah Umar, the leader of the Taliban in exile, extend greetings to “all Islamic Ummah.”
