The Global Anti Aggression Campaign (GAAC) defines itself as “a framework that coordinates the efforts of individuals and institutions in the Muslim Ummah (Nation) to assert its right of self defense and to resist aggression in a civilized, peaceful manner.”

GAAC is headed by Sheikh Safar al-Hawali from Saudi Arabia. Al-Hawali is said to have led the sahwa or “awakening” movement in Saudi Arabia, a form of salafism. Al-Hawali’s fatwas include an endorsement of the September 11, 2001 attacks. He was named as a “theologian of terror” in an October 2004 petition to the UN signed by 2,500 Muslim intellectuals calling for a treaty to ban the religious incitement to violence.

Abd al-Rahman al-Nu’aymi is GAAC general secretary, and Khalifa al-Rabban is a member of its board of trustees. Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi, Sheikh Abd al-Majid al-Zindani are listed among the founding members of GAAC. Another Qatari founding member is Fahed Ahmad Mubarak al Thani, found on the alleged US State Department list of 119 terror financiers.

In GAAC website, its “axis of evil” includes the American government, the British government, the “Zionist Entity” as well as Shi’ite Hizbullah and Iran.
