The phrase is a literal, descriptive name built from clear constituents: 'association' (an organization) + 'Islamic' + 'groups and communities', so a B1 learner who knows the words will understand it refers to an organization of Islamic groups/communities. Specific political or militant connotations in this particular entity are not predictable from the words alone, but the basic compositional referent is transparent.

Etymology
