Hamid Bin Abdallah Al-Ali

Hamid bin Abdallah al-Ali (born 1960) has been described as "an influential cleric" based in Kuwait, whom the U.S. Treasury department has described as "an Al Qaeda facilitator and fundraiser."

However, following the issuing of Sayyed Imam Al-Sharif anti-terrorist manifesto Rationalizing Jihad in Egypt and the World, he is reported to have "declared on a Web site that he welcomed the rejection of violence as a means of fostering change in the Arab world".
