Nabil_Na'eem
Nabeel Naeem Abdul Fattah[3] (Arabic: نبيل نعيم عبد الفتاح) is the founder of the Democratic Jihad Party[2] as well as a contributor to Asharq Al-Awsat.[4] He was also the leader of Egyptian Islamic Jihad from 1988 until 1992.[3]
He was arrested by Egypt in 1991 and not released until the 2011 Egyptian revolution.[1] He and Ismail Nasr wrote up a document abandoning violence towards the state, though it did not gain much support, partly because he was not theologically qualified.[5] The revisions of Sayyid Imam al-Sharif were more widely accepted among members of Egyptian Islamic Jihad.[5]
