Kurdistan Islamic Group (Kurdish: کۆمهلی ئیسلامیی کوردستان / عێراق Komelî Îslamî Kurdistan / 'Êraq; Arabic: الجماعة الإسلامية الكردستانیة / العراق al-Jumāʿa al-islāmiya al-Kurdistaniya - al-ʿIrāq) is a small Islamist movement in Iraqi Kurdistan. Established by Ali Bapir in May 2001. Bapir is a former leader of the Islamic Movement of Kurdistan.
Kurdish authorities have frequently arrested members of KIG. In 2015, family members of the KIG leader Ali Bapir were arrested for making Islamic propaganda.
Regarding their political party position in relation to other political parties, in an interview in January 2003 Ali Bapir stated:
"Our policy is that we enter into fraternity and cooperation with all Islamic groups. We seek such fraternal relations with Islamic parties and organizations, Islamist figures, and groups that follow a Salafi tradition or a Sufi or a scientific tradition. In the Komala Islami, we believe that the group must be open-minded and seek fraternity with all those who call or act for Islam. If we see a mistake, we will try to correct it through dialogue and by creating a fraternal atmosphere."
