The Kurdish Islamic Front (Kurdish: پێشەوەى كوردى ئیسلامی) was a small Kurdish Islamist armed group founded by Salahuddin al-Kurdi who also served as the group's spokesman and Abu Abdullah al-Kurdi in 2013, operating mainly in eastern Aleppo around al-Bab, the northern parts of the Raqqa Governorate, and the Hasakah Governorate.[1] It fought during the Syrian Civil War and was opposed to the secular Syrian Kurdish government and groups, including those with common goals.[6] The group dissolved and joined Ahrar al-Sham by the end of 2014.
