The clearest expression of it is the various Islamic political parties and groups spread in most countries of the Islamic world. Some of them have a tangible presence among Islamic groups in Europe and the United States. The most prominent of these are the two historical groups..the Muslim Brotherhood..and the Islamic Liberation Party and their branches that take different local names, but they are The End is part of the global organization of the Muslim Brotherhood, or Hizb ut-Tahrir al-Islami.

People from the middle classes, businessmen and urban merchants occupy an important space in the structure of these groups and parties and in their leaders.

In general, these political Islamic groups are numerous and diverse to the extent that they cannot be limited to certain classifications due to national overlaps, for example Arab, Kurdish, Iranian, Turkish, Pakistani...

And doctrinal - sectarian, up to the regional and tribal overlaps as is the case in the reality of the Islamic Movement organizations in Algeria and Afghanistan, where the data overlap to produce a mosaic reality for Islamic political organizations, it is almost difficult to determine the exact meanings of their formation.

The most important common denominator of these groups is their direct preoccupation with politics and following up on its daily and far-reaching events in its local, regional and international repercussions. In addition, it is directly linked to the active political circles, systems and apparatus in particular, and their political and public importance, levels and relations vary on this basis from one country to another.

And moving from this aspect in the classification of the main directions of the Islamic movement to its classification on the basis of methods of work, it can be said that there are three directions, which are public groups, semi-public groups, and secret groups.

1- The overt groups: these groups often belong to traditional Islamic political organizations. The Muslim Brotherhood, with their local regional organizations and their embodiments, which may take other local names, constitute the most important bloc in the overt groups movement.

As it is known, these groups, whose nucleus dates back to the late twenties, when he founded

Hassan al-Banna, the Brotherhood movement in Egypt, and it was incorporated in the form of charitable, cultural, social and sports associations, then it entered on the face of political groups. It did the same in Jordan and Morocco in the movement of reform and renewal announced by Abd al-Ilah bin Kiran 1992

2.. Semi-public groups: It is a political Islamic group that combines between public and secret work. These groups have their own mixes and pluralities. If we were to borrow an example of this trend, we can take from occupied Palestine, which is the organization of the Muslim Brotherhood, which is an open organization in His political activity is at most levels of the leadership and organizational structure, but he is connected to a secret organization affiliated with Hamas, which constitutes the military wing of the Muslim Brotherhood in the Palestinian territories.

3- Secret groups: These political groups are almost widespread in all Islamic countries and the American-European diaspora. They often adopt trends and methods of work that contradict the directions of the authority in the country concerned, so they resort to practicing their activities secretly, or they are public, and then their activities are banned, so they turn into secret.

The dominant feature of these organizations is that they raise slogans of changing the nature of the political-social system and moving it to an Islamic society based on Islamic principles outwardly, but in the beginning all its aim is to seize power and hide behind Islam as Sharia.

This appeared in Afghanistan, Sudan, Algeria, Jordan, Palestine, Turkey, and now in Libya as well.

And it finds a response in some circles of the mass street, which makes it a subject of fears on the part of the authorities, and this pushes it to practice clandestine activities or move to clandestine for fear of the security-political liquidation.

In general, the majority of political Islamic groups and organizations in the world do not license the ruling authorities for their activities because of their slogans that carry the meaning of political change.

In Pakistan, we saw Abu al-Ali al-Mawdudi in 1941 and the Turkish Welfare Party, which is considered one of the most important parliamentary parties in Turkey before it was dissolved.

In late 1998, most of the Islamic parties in Jordan.

These groups operate in a peaceful political manner, as well as in the form of bloody violence for those who oppose them, and they use violence, weapons, plans, and cunning in every way to achieve their goals and aspirations to control peoples.

In the Lebanese-Palestinian model, Hezbollah represented it in Lebanon, and both the Islamic Jihad movements in Palestine and the Hamas movement, and the three of them participated in the exercise of armed activity against the Israeli occupation, outwardly, and as for the inner, which became evident to all.

It's just a cover to gain power and control people's destiny
