Doha – Qatar
Dear Ms. Bilal and Ms. Femi Oke:
This letter is being sent to you on behalf of the Qatar Awareness Campaign Coalition. The purpose is to inform you and the public of the activities of Qatar, the country which owns Al Jazeera, the network on which you are co-hosts of the program, The Stream.
We urge to you read the information below, which includes evidence that Qatar is arguably the preeminent sponsor of terror in the world today. It is a benefactor of the genocidal armies of ISIS, al Qaeda, and Boko Haram; it is involved in Taliban narcotics trafficking through a relationship with the Pakistani National Logistics Cell; and profits from operating a virtual slave state. Qatar is involved in terror operations from Nigeria to Gaza to Syria to Iraq.
So the public understands why this letter is addressed to you both, who are American (Ms. Bilal) and British (Ms. Oke) citizens and co-hosts of an Al Jazeera daily program, here is pertinent background on the Doha-based network.
- In 1996, then Emir of Qatar, Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani, provided a $137 million loan to start Al Jazeera. Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani was the ruling monarch of Qatar from 1995-2013.
- Al Jazeera is based out of Doha, the capital of Qatar.
- In July 2013, 22 employees of Al Jazeera resigned after the station “air[ed] lies and misle[d] viewers” (according to Al Jazeera correspondent) regarding the Egyptian revolution on July 4, which ousted Muslim Brotherhood president Mohamed Morsi.
- Al Jazeera is home to the Muslim Brotherhood’s spiritual leader (and Morsi-backer) Yusuf al-Qaradawi, who reaches an estimated 80 million viewers each week.
In light of Al Jazeera’s consistent and vocal support for the Muslim Brotherhood and their associated terror campaigns, we ask that you consider the attached sourced report on Qatar’s activities. The links cited are vetted and credible sources. We hope you take the time to verify the truth of the statements for yourself.
After doing so, the Coalition of the Qatar Awareness Campaign calls on you to exert due influence on the Qatari government to cease any type of involvement in all forms of Islamic terrorism, slavery, and drug trafficking!
Sincerely,
Robert Spencer

The emir of Qatar buys the loyalty of his subjects with an average of $90,000 per annum per subject.
The emir thus has no opposition to spreading the violent Salafist message and funding the suicide murders of thousands.
This Islamic fanaticism is PURE ISLAM…yes, Virginia, terrorism is normative Islam.

We here at JW already know some of these names — courageous patriots who are not worried about the possible danger such public action, and I am grateful to learn that there are others (signatories listed here) equally as brave as Mr. Spencer and Ms. Geller.

the only good thing that the emir of Qatar has done was to stiff Al Gore on the sale of his tv network now called al Jazeera. Other wise the Emir and the citizens of Qatar will be in for a big surprise when ISIS/ISIL triumphs and comes back to destroy Qatar and its opulent life style ( like Khmer Rouge did in Cambodia).

What are the chances of the Israel bashing crack-house – popularly known as UN – sanctioning Qatar, the number two most notorious state sponsor of Islamist terror… Iran is the first.
What are the chances of dhimmi Islam-is-peace shills like Obama & Cameron – masquerading as Western leaders – calling Qatar to order?

Very good! May I suggest to JW activists to participate in the Florida Family Associations successful ongoing campaign against corporations who advertise on Qatar’s Al Jazeera America and other campaigns: Sam’s Club recent donation of $2500 to the Al-Qassam mosque, named after the Hamas military wing. Thank you

I Googled Sam’s Club donation of $2500 to the Al-Qassam
That is good to know that this is going on.
In a more general example, United Way has a long list of organizations that it supports.
Many of these organizations do good work in our communities no doubt.
However, some of these organizations even if (Christian in name) charities are involved with interfaith outreach.
While I see no major issue with giving someone help at a time of need, I wonder if giving donations to a general fund is an invitation to ‘activist’ leftists and Muslims to misappropriate donations as organizations morph into being under the cover of charities.

European infiltration Al Jazeera style
There is a very interesting article at ‘Allah’-Jazeera English website purporting to be about attacks on Muslims in Greece but which is actually an all out assault on anti-immigration policies in disguise. The write up also leads into criticism of France and Sweden.
