What is the National Thowheed Jamath?
The National Thowheed Jamath is a radical Muslim group that appeared after the Sri Lankan civil war ended in 2009, and has been linked to the vandalism of Buddhist statues. It preaches extremism, strict interpretations of religious texts, and intolerance of non-Muslims. The group demands the compulsory veiling of Muslim women. NTJ built mosques and madrassas in various parts of the country. Extremism expert Anne Speckhard told the NYT that the group aims to spread hatred, fear and division among the local society.
Murdered Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi’s Washington Post columns were “shaped” by an executive at the Doha-funded Qatar Foundation, it emerged in December. The executive drafted material and prodded Khashoggi to take a harder line against the Saudi government, according to the newspaper.
