Profetens Ummah ( "The Prophet's Ummah", Arabic: أمة النبي) is a Salafi-jihadist[1][2] Islamist organisation based in Norway. Since its emergence in late 2011 the group has become notorious for its vocal demonstrations, as well as statements praising Islamic terrorism.[3][4] Other Muslims in Norway have referred to the group as a Khariji sect.[5][6]
Several Norwegian politicians and commentators have condemned the group for its anti-democratic and violent message.[7][8][9] Originally inspired by late Al-Qaeda ideologue Anwar al-Awlaki, Profetens Ummah has later pledged support for the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) and its leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.[10] Several Norwegian foreign fighters for ISIL in the Syrian Civil War have a background of involvement with the group.[11]
