Former history professor at DohaUniversity in Qatar, Dr. Abdelrahman Al Nuaimi helped create a number of charities, human rights organizations as well as research institutes in the Arab world.

In 1998, he is arrested by the Qatari authorities for having opposed the countries’ “liberal policies on women and alcohol”. In a letter addressed to the Shura, the consultative council and published by several newspapers he then asserted: ”This leads to an unIslamic mingling of the sexes and to women losing their proper role and turning into men”
He co-founded Al Karama in 2004.

In 2005, he launches the Global Anti-Aggression Campaign (GAAC) with 300 Muslim personalities. The stated objective of GAAC is to resist the American and Israeli “aggression” against both the Arab and Muslim worlds, and “to remind believers [the ummah] of its obligation for victory, and to raise [the ummah’s] awareness for its right of self-defense, and to combat the aggressor in a legal manner through effective tools.”2

Yussef Al Qaradhawi is a founding member of this campaign as is the Sudanese Muslim Brotherhood, the Kuwaiti Salafi movement and the president of Hamas’ political bureau, Khaled Mechaal. 3
