Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Qatar called upon to “cease any type of involvement in all forms of Islamic terrorism, slavery, and drug trafficking”

New York, NY 10001

Dear Mr. Michael Shure and Mr. Antonia Mora:

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 which employs you both as journalists. Additionally, both of you are graduates of Harvard University: Mr. Shure of Harvard College and Mr. Mora of Harvard Law School. Harvard is in a multi-year partnership with the Qatar Foundation to host an annual workshop.

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 citizens and correspondents for Al Jazeera, 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.
  • 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.
  • Harvard Law School is engaged in a multi-year partnership with Hamad bin Khalifa University to host the Institute for Global Law and Policy. In 2013, this workshop welcomed 140 participants.

In light of Al Jazeera’s consistent and vocal support for the Muslim Brotherhood, 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

    Residue covers the ‘path’.

    ”Qatar, (pronounced “cutter,” or “gutter”),”

    And I always thought it was pronounced like catarrh !

      considering it’s a hot bed of the world’s GUTTER religion, perhaps the name should be pronounced GUTTER!

      Speaking of street theatre, you may remember this video entitled ‘Hamas puts the FUN in Funeral’.

      Comment:
      Hamas displays victims of Israeli “aggression” in white burial shrouds. If you look closely, you can see some of the bodies make themselves more comfortable while they think the camera is not on them.

      • Semeru says

        This video has nothing to do with Hamas, so you have been duped. But not to worry, you are in good company, both our two fore-most islamic experts Spencer and Geller cannot tell the difference between an islamic funeral or a “Die in” protest.

        The video is of a protest by Muslin Brotherhood against the killing of islamists {Rabaa massacre] , and was taken in a Cario University.

      “I took it down because, as you can see, there’s nothing outside,” explained Badawy, as he pointed to an empty lot where the society sets up the stations for the mock pilgrimage. “We had a lot of things put up, but they’re all gone because we’re done. We just forgot the plane.”

      Yeah, of **course** you did. Mean old Americans …

    Al Jazeera is the veil over Islam’s zombie corpse that wants to bite us.
    Its affiliate sponsor NPR is like a liberal mad scientist denier of the zombie threat.

    Islam R.I.P.

    How about a little “zero tolerance”?

    If you can seize drug dealers assets, why can’t we seize Qatari assets?

    I imagine that would get their attention – FAST.

    • JIMJFOX says

      Oct 3, 2014 at 2:14 am

      Why not seize Qatar??
      With a native population of only 270,000 it would be a cinch!

    Now that lies and concealment of the truth has become the norm from mainstream news medias like NY Times, Huff Post, The Guardian, Fairfax Media, Al Jazeera…..; now that our leaders, in the news, tell blatant lies, (I’m thinking here of the Obama Admin, the Clintons, the black civil rights leaders, left liberals …..): then what is there in the world that is reliable, honourable and true anymore? I thank Jihad Watch, Atlas Shrugs, The Front Page, Bare Naked Islam, and others, who provide the truth where others distort. This item of news is central to the understanding of who masterminds the bankrolling of the major Islamic terrorist organisations. You just wouldn’t read about it elsewhere. Qatar, while playing the demure minnow of the Arab League, is the leviathan lurking in the shadows of its more infamous siblings. Who could’ve guessed it? I have no time for the Arabs: they’re a bunch of sleazy, slimy, deviants who want to take control of the world. They are, at this moment, succeeding thanks to their partners in deceit and deception in the West. If our leaders were truth-tellers we wouldn’t be in the dire circumstances we are now in.
