Profetens Ummah ("The Prophet's Ummah", Arabic: أمة النبي) was a Salafi-jihadist Islamist organisation based in Norway. During its emergence in late 2011, the group has become notorious for its vocal demonstrations, as well as statements praising Islamic terrorism.
Several Norwegian politicians and commentators have condemned the group for its anti-democratic and violent message. 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 and its leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. Several Norwegian foreign fighters for ISIL in the Syrian Civil War have a background of involvement with the group.
