The organization was a founding member of the Islamic Front and usually fights on the side of the Ahrar al-Sham . The Emir of the Kurdish-Islamic Front is Abu Abdullah al-Kurdi.
Ideology and purpose
The Kurdish-Islamic Front describes itself as Islamic-conservative, but if observers classify it as Islamist , it rejects an independent Kurdish state and would like to found an Islamic state with Islamic law after the end of the civil war .
