Muslim League

The Muslim League(also known as the All India Muslim League) was an Islamic Supremacist political organization founded in 1906 by the elite Muslims of British India. During the time of the British Raj, the Muslim League espoused divisive rhetoric, that Indian Muslims are separate and distinct from Hindus, despite them sharing the same culture, language, food and ethnicity. The Muslim League also organized pogroms against Hindus and Sikhs during the Partition of India. ^[1] After the creation of Pakistan in 1947, it became known as the All Pakistan Muslim League and became it's dominant political party. Eventually it’s power began to lessen and by the 1970s vanished entirely.

The Muslim League was also Anti-Semitic, using terms such as "Jewish high finance" in voicing their opposition to Jewish immigration to the Mandate of Palestine. ^[2]
