View source for Islamic trends and movements in Algeria

'''Islamic trends and movements in Algeria'''  always had a high political and social influence in Algerian society. The activity of these movements during nearly seven decades, had many ups and downs. The new alignment of Islamist groups and their positions in recent years, especially after the Algerian civil wars that took place after the suppression of the Islamic Salvation Front, should be taken into consideration.

The influencing factors in the formation of Islamist political movements  in Algeria and the process of evolution of these movements  are very important. Algeria was occupied by France in 1830. Before, this country was under the rule of the Ottoman government. The French tried to completely Frenchize Algerian society.

They adopted the policy of "colonization and westernization" and declared this country a part of French territory. The Algerian people reacted to this situation and tried to stand against the invaders by clinging to their Islamic identity. As a result of this resistance, it took an Islamic indentity.

At the head of it, we can mention the movement of Amir "Abdul –Qader Algerian  ", which is considered the first armed resistance movement against the presence of the French and continued from 1830 to 1847. Although this movement did not last long; But it paved the way for other movements and eventually turned into an all-encompassing revolution against French colonialism

Contemporary Islamic movements in Algeria formed a new form of revolutionary movements in the Islamic world, which had a major impact on the Islamic revolution in Iran and the formation of armed groups in the Middle East, and in a way created the political scene of Islamic movements in its current form.
