Summary:

The Tehrik-e-Nefaz-e-Shariat-e-Mohammadi (TNSM) is a tribally-based Deobandi terrorist group that is active in the Northwest Frontier Province area of Pakistan. Led by Sufi Mohammed, the group grew to prominence with an armed uprising in the tribal areas of Peshawar in 1994. Ideologically similar to the Taliban, the TNSM aims to establish an Islamic emirate in Pakistan, and to impose Sharia law throughout the country. Mohammed, stated, "We want enforcement of the Islamic judicial system in totality: judicial, political, economic, jihad, fi sabilillah, education and health. In my opinion the life of the faithful will automatically be moulded according to the Islamic system when the judicial system is enforced."VideoVideo: 2009 Maulana Sufi Muhammad Leader of Tehreek-e-Nafaz-e-Shariat-e-Mohammadi arrested

Groups and individuals included in TRAC's database range from actual perpetrators of social or political violence to more passive groups that support or condone (perhaps unwittingly) such violence. The spectrum of violence represented by these groups is vast, from Jihadists who bomb train stations to financial institutions that transfer funds. Some groups that originally engaged in violence but have since become legitimate political parties are included to provide historical perspective. TRAC is in no way attempting to determine whether groups or individuals are terrorists -- only to convey reported information about their activities and official State status. While TRAC attempts to ensure the accuracy of its TRAC database, the entries in the database are from numerous different sources. Hence, TRAC cannot and does not warrant the accuracy of the entries in its database. The editors of TRAC may modify these entries at any time and welcome comments and suggested corrections or additions.
