There would be nothing surprising about this, if it is true. Qatar is the home of al-Jazeera and was the longtime base of operations of Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi, who has denounced the Islamic State after spending decades teaching what it teaches.
“German minister accuses Qatar of financing ISIS,” AFP, August 20, 2014 (thanks to Jerk Chicken):
Germany’s development aid minister, Gerd Mueller, on Wednesday accused Qatar of financing the militant group the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS).
“A story like this always has a history,” he said in an interview with public broadcaster ZDF.
“Who is financing these troops? Hint: Qatar,” he added.
Vice Chancellor and Economy Minister Sigmar Gabriel this week urged a “debate” about who has been and is financing ISIS, but without naming any countries.
Meanwhile, Germany said it is ready to send weapons to support Iraqi Kurds in their battle against ISIS, Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier said.
It is a controversial issue for Germany which, burdened by its history of aggression in two world wars, has often been reluctant to send troops into foreign conflicts and which as a rule does not send weapons into war zones.

Jay Boo says
Muslims must hold themselves accountable and stop blaming others (including Allah)
ISIS equals Islam
Islam is rape, thievery, butchery, genocide, and cold blooded murder.
Beagle says
I love this conspiracy theory because if one looks at a map you can see why the IS is not directly attacking Israel yet. Don’t let geography stop you, “Brian”. The ummah is so wack.
Majya says
What????????????!? Are you serious? (Rhetorical question)

I love to see how bizarre the conspiracy theories are involving Israel. Dumb or psycho. Either or both work.

Plenty of money for corruption.
Plenty of money for warfare.

“But just what is ‘racist’ about bribery?,” asks Al Arabiya — or about investigating bribery? This bizarre response from Qatar to charges that it bought the right to host the 2022 World Cup shows the hollowness of the charges of “racism” and “Islamophobia” that are constantly leveled at counter-jihadists. Just as there is nothing racist or Islamophobic about investigating bribery, so also there is nothing racist or Islamophobic about opposing jihad terror.

This information about Qatar is all laid out in a most outstanding article I found by chance: http://www.misterchambers.com/2014/07/26/the-long-arm-of-qatar/
Please read and share. It explains more than you can even imagine!
God Bless the Patriots.

There should be a Boycott Divest Sanction movement started against Qatar as well as Saudi Arabia, the real force and financial support behind islamic extremism and savagery against the west!
Will Doohan says
The B.D.S. strategy should be used against the ‘Palestinians’.
Tommo says
Not only do Qatar finance extremism but also sport and sporting fixtures in the West. Their influence, along with that of the Emirates is all over our sport not to mention horse racing where their involvement is more obvious.
