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

Qatar has demonstrated “consistent and vocal support for the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas”

Dear Mr. Zucker:

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 the state of Qatar. CNN regularly solicits the opinion of policy experts and fellows from Brookings Doha, which receives millions of dollars in funding from Qatar. CNN.com also featured a prominent ad for the Qatar Foundation.

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 India to Syria to Iraq.

So the public understands why this letter is addressed to you, the president of CNN, here are some facts pertaining to CNN’s involvement with Qatar.

  • Following the overthrow of the pro-Muslim Brotherhood government of Mohamed Morsi, who simultaneously backed and supported Qatar, the CNN Global Public Square blog featured an interview with Gregory Gause III, professor of political science at the University of Vermont and non-resident senior fellow at the Brookings Doha Center. Prof. Gause expressed disapproval of the ouster of the government of Morsi, a close ally of Qatar.
  • In August 2014, during the Israel-Gaza war, the CNN Global Public Square blog featured an op-ed by Sultan Barakat, Director of Research at Brookings Doha. Barakat was especially critical of Israel, which he accused of “disregard for basic civilian infrastructure” in Gaza, and stated that Israel “clearly prefers an underdeveloped ghetto to a viable foreign country [in Gaza].”
  • com featured a special advertising page for the Qatar Foundation. This ad linked to “a 30-minute monthly feature program … that seeks to capture the dynamism and broad range of cultural diversity in … the Middle East.” The Qatar Foundation, with the Emir of Qatar, established the Al-Qaradawi Research Center. Yusuf al-Qaradawi is the spiritual leader of the Muslim Brotherhood and a vocal supporter of violent jihad.

In light of Qatar’s consistent and vocal support for the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas, 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

    This is an admirable attempt to enlighten but I’m sure it will fall on deaf ears and blind eye. If will promptly be stored permanently in the circular (trash bin) file.

      The purpose of an open letter is more to shame than to persuade.

    Qatar sponsoring TERRORISM? Shocking!

    But Qatar has NOTHING to do with Islam.

    Bravo,The Qatar Awareness Campaign Coalition, for your work in exposing the deep involvement of the Qatari government in financing different Islamist terror groups around the world!

    Nevertheless, while I believe in the importance of this type of work and the need to continue in doing it, no matter the result or no result, I doubt it will have any significant effect, if at all.

    I believe a big part of the problem, of Islamic Jihad in the world today, is not only the hard conditioning present in brains of adult devout Muslims the world over, which is almost literally like burned into their brains since a very young age, to accept their faith blindly and not to have any critical or analytical thinking about their system of beliefs, but also the hard conditioning in adult brains here in the west, especially of those in positions of authority, to think only in certain ways and terms which make them blind to the threat of Jihad and the imminent world domination by Islamic sharia (some reading this may be laughing, thinking I must be going a little nuts, but this is inevitable and real, unless things change here in the west in a major way concerning this matter!).

      Policies have changed as a result of ONE LETTER to the right person.

      Small beginnings should not be underestimated. Journalists must first be convinced of the facts.

      QATAR’S supports for SLAVERY, NARCOTICS and TERRORISM are important news. A documentary would be in order: ‘The Qatari Terror Connection’.

      Apostasy and blasphemy guarantee the growth of the cancer.
      There is no critical thinking with these laws.

    CNN’s ‘Inside the Middle East’

    ‘Do you know the Middle East?’ – lucrative game!

    “Constant” Arab Gulf commercials!!

    How many times have I changed the channel rather than listen to that – head pounding!

    Paid religious broadcasts.

    CNN is milking that camel – under the pretense of ‘openness’ and ‘understanding’ – without question the news they deliver would have to be compromised.

    I know Zucker. He does not give a …… He is a liberal PC Jew. He turned NBC upside down and left it in shambles and doing the same thing at CNN. I doubt he is going to be there much longer. M

    The Problem with Islam, aside form the obvious butchering, female debasing, pedophilic & psychotic ideology that it is, it’s these guys:

    Multi-Cultural diversity seeking aetheistic anti Christian/Jewish left wing Marxists within our societies working under an umbrella of “enforced Political Correctness” while using so called Human Rights as their shield appeasing those whoe would lop off their head in a heartbeat.. True
    Dhimmi’s

    Add to that the radical Feminists, Unionistas & Eco Fascists of the planet and you have your FULL list – the enemy Host if you will.

    Islamics thrive in such an environment.

    Anyone disagreeing with their world view is: A RACIST DENYING Capitalistic MISOGYNIST…a low life rat bastard if you will.

    Although I do love women and have been taught in the ways of chivlary…I guess they must mean me..??

    upon Edit….I shamefully neglected to add:

    The MAIN STREAM MEDIA World Wide

    And with the exception of Steven Harper, Canada’s Prime Minister
    The only western leader to FULLY Support Israel recently.

    …All of the WESTERN Leaders for their continued vomit of “ISIS is not Islam” Bullshit. We see you all – fully and where your allegiances lie.

    And to a man/woman you all DISGUST ME.

    A gesture, but let’s face the truth, bin material.

    If anybody this is addressed to actually bothers to read it, would be a feat in itself.
