The ADF was formed by puritanical Muslim Ugandans of the Tablighi Jamaat group who merged with the remnants of another rebel group, the National Army for the Liberation of Uganda The main figure of the group was Jamil Mukulu, a former Protestant who converted to Islam. I wonder why nobody is mentioning the faith of the ADF?
