A member of JI- Pakistan since 1967 and the party’s Secretary General since 1993, Syed Munawar has begun a very public campaign to rally support among Pakistan’s conservative religious community against the U.S. role in the region and Islamabad’s offensive against Taliban extremists in South Waziristan. He is also calling for a diplomatic campaign against India for its alleged role in terrorist activities within Pakistan.

Trinity College Digital Repository, https://digitalrepository.trincoll.edu/theses/382 Vanguards No Longer: Challenges to al Qaeda Leadership of the Jihadist Community By Byron Doerfer Submitted to the International Studies Program, Trinity College Supervised by Professor Isaac Kamola ©2014 Abstract 2014 marks the first time that al Qaeda’s supremacy in the Jihadist community has been challenged. al Qaeda’s former franchise in Iraq, now called the “Islamic State,” has declared the organization responsible for 9/11 “Tyrants” and “Apostates.” The Islamic State has begun openly attacking al Qaeda’s official franchise in Syria, Jabhat al Nusra. These events are a consequence of the strategy of franchising that al Qaeda undertook following 9/11. The root of the issue between al Qaeda and its former Iraqi franchise is over a difference over the importance placed on popular support as a key ingredient in achieving the larger objectives of Global Jihad. This schism in the jihadist community will have a large impact on al Qaeda, as well as implications for United States security policy. i Introduction Introduction 2014 has brought a series of events that will fundamentally change the way the world views the terrorist organization known as Al Qaeda.
