Society of Muslim Warriors

Society of Muslim Mojaheds (Persian: مجمع مسلمانان مجاهد, romanized: Majmaʿ-e mosalmānān-e mojāhed) or Society of Mojahedin of Islam (Persian: مجمع مجاهدین اسلام, romanized: Majma'-e mojāhedin-e eslām), alternatively translated as Society of Muslim Warriors, was a Shia Islamist organization in Iran founded in late 1948.

Led by Abol-Ghasem Kashani, the organization served as his multi-task religious, political, cultural, and social executive arm and mouthpiece.

[1] It was adept at mobilizing crowds for street control, gang fights, strikes and demonstrations.

[2] The society was founded after Kashani decided that his original militant Fada'iyan-e Islam, was too single-minded and inflexible to act as a suave enforcer who could negotiate with various people.

[1][2] Unlike its ally Fada'iyan-e Islam, Society of Muslim Warriors was not dogmatically fundamentalist and also differed in base of support, drawing its support mainly from wealthy bazaaris, guild elders, small shopkeepers and seminary students.
