#1 The Rashid trust published the newspapers of the Taliban called "Zarb-e-Momin", and was one of the main fronts for the funding of the Taliban and the Pak Jihadi parties.
It's founder was actually a Mufti Rashid Ahmed, who is one of the Deobandi 'elders' that collectively sit in one the Majlis-i-Shoora religous councils of the Jaish-e-Mohammad, Harkut-ul Mujahideen and the JUI, among others. These important Mullahs, Muftis and Maulanas are the people who give religous legitimacy to the Jihadi militias and political parties that identify with the Deobandi sect, and arbitrate disputes between them.
Other elders include Mufti Nizamuddin Shamzai, Mufti Jamil Khan, Dr. Abdur Razaq, Dr. Sher Ali Shah and Maulana Yousuf Ludhianvi (before he was assassinated).
