  Encyclopedia: Armed Islamic Group
The Armed Islamic Group (GIA, from French Groupe Islamique Armé; Arabic al-Jama'ah al-Islamiyah al-Musallah) is a militant Islamist group with the declared aim of overthrowing the Algerian government and replacing it with an Islamic state.
Under the leadership of Antar Zouabri, its longest serving "emir" (1996-2002), the GIA became a "takfirist" group, considering Algerian society to be in violation of Islamic precepts, therefore justifying the killing of members of that society as a form of purification of heretical elements.
The Salafist Group for Preaching and Combat (GSPC) splinter faction appears to have eclipsed the GIA since approximately 1998 and is currently assessed by the CIA to be the most effective armed group remaining inside Algeria.

 Egyptian Islamic Jihad - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Egyptian Islamic Jihad (EIJ), also called the Islamic Jihad and the Jihad Group, is an Egyptian Islamic group active since the late 1970s with origins in the Muslim Brotherhood.
The organization's primary goals are to overthrow the Egyptian Government and replace it with an Islamic state and to attack United States and Israeli interests in Egypt and abroad.
Despite the effective merger of al-Zawahri and Bin Laden's groups in the Aghanistan area of operations there is evidence that suggests that at least part of the Islamic Jihad group continuing to operate in Egypt remains independent of Bin Laden's organization and reports for al-Zawahri personally.

 Profiles in Terror - Inside the Book
Beyond providing basic information on the terror groups, I have tried to emphasize the vast web of links between terrorist organizations with very different goals and ideologies.
I also show, where I can find information, links between terrorist groups in the Middle East and elsewhere and I try to highlight terrorist infrastructure in Europe, the U.S., and worldwide.
Profiles in Terror is an accessible reference guide, detailed enough to be of use to the specialist while still of use to the general reader.

Khatami is president of the 55-nation Islamic Conference, which says it represents 1 billion Muslims.
The same can be said for the so-called Islamic Group, which has been tied to terrorist plots in the U.S. These cells (which qualify as neither cults nor sects) garner a disproportionate share of media attention, but their religious significance is virtually nil.
Izala members advocate frugality, and Islamic education for all, challenge the authority of elders, and condemn the use of amulets.
