The goal of Islamic Jihad Union is to help our Muslim brothers that have been suffering under the repression of Uzbekistan and post Soviet Union countries, help them using our opportunities, take them out from the swamp of cruelty of infidelity and to liberate all Muslim brothers from the other parts of the world as God and his Prophet ordered to us, and finally to unite them under the flag of Islam. The Islamic Jihad Union is organized and formed of Sunni Muslim brothers who are ready for Jihad in favor of God, who are spreading God’s invitations to Islam, who are implementing and recognizing all the tasks of Islam. One of the goals that Islamic Jihad Union chose is to invite the God’s religion to the world, and in order to liberate all our Muslim brothers from the cruelty of infidelity in the above mentioned countries to make a jihad and continue it until that time when the God’s religion would be dominant. All duties that we have mentioned above are the obligation of all Muslims and we as the Islamic Jihad Union are coming together to fulfill our obligations and are uniting. In the future when we will face social problems we will use the strong arguments with the guidance of Koran and Sunni under the Sunni vision as we did till today and if necessary we will consult with the experienced and wise scholars specialized in Jihad and in Islam. When we said Ehli Sunne Vel-Cemae (Sunni) we understand the proper processors and the predecessors of 4 sects and we respect all of them. The God in Holy Koran ordered that ‘all together hold on the rope of God so close and never become disconnected’ and as Prophet mentioned in his farewell pilgrim ‘I leave you with the Holy book of God and Sunna and if you stay so close you will never become confused.’ And we united because f our Prophets will.

In his memoirs Eric Breininger mentioned that ‘The Taliban allowed us to create a sub-group. At the beginning, we were six brothers and funded the German Taliban Mujahedeen…The group was to provide a home for all German-speaking Muslims who come here from all over the world to fight. It is, he claimed the first German jihad group in the world and has grown steadily, even including ‘families with children’.
