“It was Britain that made the concessions, committing to share its classified intelligence and expertise with the Qatari state, and agreeing to work more closely with its security forces.” David Cameron appears to be intent on driving Britain off a cliff. If it survives his rule, and Britain remains a free state, future generations will see him as one of the most disastrous Prime Ministers in British history, and possibly the worst ever.
“Britain has sold its soul with the Qatari deal,” by Andrew Gilligan, the Telegraph, November 7, 2014 (thanks to Jen):
Cars bearing the logos of Islamic State (Isil) drive around the streets. Within sight of the city centre lies the only official overseas mission of the Taliban. Jihadis sowing instability in perhaps 15 countries, from Algeria to Pakistan, direct their operations from pleasant villas in the suburbs – or, in the case of the terror group Hamas, from suites in the best hotels, where they can sometimes be seen relaxing by the pool.
The mosques host some of the world’s most influential extremist ideologues, their words pinged round the globe via their personal television channels. Hundreds of millions of pounds flow to organisations defined by Britain as terrorist, much of it from the government itself.
An official of that government, Salim Hasan Khalifa Rashid al‑Kuwari, channelled many such dollars to al-Qaeda while working for the interior ministry, according to the US Treasury department. The foreign minister’s cousin was detained in Lebanon, also for financing al-Qaeda; he was then convicted in his absence, after his government reportedly applied intense pressure on Lebanon to free him before trial.
This is Qatar, the country with which David Cameron has just signed a defence and security agreement. Did the deal, perhaps, include a promise by the Qataris to stop this sort of behaviour? Did it commit Qatar to end its support for the Islamist militias who have helped reduce Libya to anarchy, or to kick out the leadership of the Muslim Brotherhood? It did not.
In fact, it was Britain that made the concessions, committing to share its classified intelligence and expertise with the Qatari state, and agreeing to work more closely with its security forces. We were told that Mr Cameron would talk tough at his meeting with the Emir of Qatar last week. Instead, he seems to have spent much of his time asking for money….
Part of the problem is that Qatar’s definition of terrorism is narrower than most other people’s. The Emir’s protestation, in September, that “we don’t fund extremists”, is preposterous, given the tens of millions of pounds that the Qatari government has paid directly to Hamas.
Hamas has, of course, killed hundreds of civilians in suicide bombings and missile strikes; it seeks the destruction of Israel; it is banned as a terrorist organisation in every democracy on earth. But Hamas, by Qatari standards, is not an extremist or terrorist group. “I know that in America and some countries they look at some movements as terrorist movements,” the Emir explained. “But there are differences.”
It is not just Qatar that is failing to learn the right lessons: we are, too. Britain is a great, wealthy country. It doesn’t need to bend the knee to pocket dictatorships with suitcase-sized bank balances. But in so many ways the UK has sold its soul (and a lot of its soil) to dubious foreign money….

I think Jesus explained, best, the cause of all this madness, around 2000 years ago, “The love of money is root to all evil”
Jen says
Love for money can be a good thing if you intend to earn it, and use it for good/charitable purposes. It’s a tool. I agree though, many are simply greedy. But love for money in itself is not bad. It’s the person who makes it so. It is capable of bringing out the worst in someone’s character but that is probably due to lack of (or fragile) discipline or integrity that was pre-existing. The love for what money can do, is a temptation which helps to snap the barriers. If a person is truly determined to use money for good, the outcome will be good. If they’re lukewarm in their standards they set for themselves, they can be more easily swayed.

Jen,
The following quote, of a comment by Joginder Singh, is what I had in mind when I made the above comment, about the “love of money”:

“Petro-dollars, arab-islamic banking, property deals with rich arab royals and arms deals with corrupt royal arab thug families might be a clue as to “head in sand mode” from the British government”

Each time I see Cameron’s face, I think *traitor, traitor, traitor*
He doesn’t deserve this job.
Salah says
“Each time I see Cameron’s face, I think *traitor, traitor, traitor*
He doesn’t deserve this job.”
And each passing day I see the people’s INACTION, I think *cowards, cowards, cowards*
You deserve what you get.
Jen says
“You deserve what you get.”
———————————————————————-
Because I can do so much about what is happening in Britain while I’m in NZ right now, Salah. And that doesn’t matter to my comment about Cameron being a traitor. He is one. He was elected to do a job, and he’s not doing it.
You’re very nice to the “moderate Muslims”, assuming hoards (significant enough to make a difference to us) would be willing to leave Islam if they weren’t in fear. Your definition of ‘action’ is much different from mine…I know what I’d personally like to see happen…
Jen says
I wonder where Salah lives…Maybe the US …With their ‘secret’ Muslim President. So many comments from Americans who can’t stop badmouthing the British on here. It’s one thing for the British themselves to critique their own people, but another when the Americans start chiming in. Even though their own country has plenty of problems. Not just Muslim ones.
Jen says
If only Salah had as much compassion for the uninformed British people still out there today, as she/he does for “moderate Muslims” who are actually far more likely to know about the horror of Islam than the average non-Muslim in the UK.
Salah says
We should expect more from the proud british people than from a bunch of ignorant slaves.
Almach says
He´s a traitor, but the fast forwarding islamisation of Britain has started way before he came to power. The islamisation of France and Germany (and other countries for that matter) is probably more physically palpable, muslims are more numerous in these countries, however, the islamisation of Britain is much more on your face, with all the muslims they entrust into positions of power: it is encrusted in the society in such a way that the fear to speak out against islam is more pervasive. The country has totally sold its soul and I think that when the time comes, combating islam in that country will be much more difficult than in others. I´ve lived there for over 8 years (have recently relocated) and I know what I´ve been through.
forthfaran says
I give up? what more can I say? Even if Cameron gets booted out next May it only means an equally dysfunctional,gormless lefty twit,Milliband,will take over;he might actually be even worse than the terminally spineless Cameron. I suppose one could say that England has been, and is being ,well and truly shafted.We’re all going to Hell in a handcart.

only UKIP or Liberty GB can start to turn the tide. Until either party attains some level of control in parliament, the UK government shall continue to treat Bretons as mugs.
William says
One strategy the Romans used to conquer a foreign land was to win over to their side the rulers (chieftains) of that land instead of going to war with them. The Romans got the rulers on their side through bribes, threats, blackmail or whatever means available and had them enforce onto their own people the dictates of the invader – taxes, tributes, slaves, soldiers, land, colony, etc. In such a manner, the chieftains were encouraged to inflict on their own people what the invaders would have been required to do themselves. In case the natives rebelled, their ire would be directed toward their own chiefs. If the puppets were ineffective in implementing the invaders’ desires, through subterfuge they would be replaced with more compliant ones. If a rebellious leader arose from among the natives, the interloper destroyed him. It was a win win strategy. Julius Caesar often employed this method when it was far less costly in terms of blood and treasure rather than going to full blown war, of which the outcome was uncertain. It is an old trick in the book.
terry says
William,
Are you sure of this as a historical fact? If so, thanks for this illuminating comment.
In this case, that definitely means, as we both wrote in previous comments, that history is repeating itself and we probably have, in front of our eyes, the unravelling of a great civilization!
William says
I refer you to Caesar’s campaign in Gaul where he had to deal with a lot of different Gallic and Germanic tribes and their respective chiefs. I also refer you to Caesar’s involvement in Egypt and his installation of Cleopatra as leader of Egypt.

Seriously, is David Cameron mentally ill? What on earth is wrong with this man?

Arab oil money, Arab property portfolios and arms deals to Arab regimes might be a good place to look as to why cameron is kissing Arab backsides

I have watched a good documentary about mosques in Britain ‘Dispatches – Undercover Mosque’
http://themuslimissue.wordpress.com/2014/10/06/video-islam-in-britanistan-undercover-mosque/
the same site has article about Katar buying up London and about British PM as he said: “One day I want to hear that title ‘Prime Minister’ followed by a British Asian name”
i think Katar is the biggest supplier of LNG to Britain. so British people will be able to heat their homes during winter(if they can afford it) and hamas will get the british classified intelligence. it’s not a big deal, is it?

If people are openly supporting ISIS in Qatar, then there is a problem. This a very small country and everything is seen there by its government. British intelligence should know the extent of Qatar’s involvement in financing terrorism and be able to advise the UK government on the proper response.
It doesn’t seem that rewarding Qatar’s bad behavior is the way to get Qatar to improve itself!
mortimer says
By the way, the above article about Qatar proves Robert Spencer’s thesis is right: Jihadism is not an aberration, but normative Islam, fully supported by most Muslims…at least when they are not living in Western countries and worried about upsetting their non-Muslim neighbors.
In Qatar, many people are openly advocating for ISIS and displaying their support.
Obviously, Qatar makes money from funding terror or they wouldn’t do it. The Emir’s protestation, in September, that “we don’t fund extremists” is obviously false…taqiyya. Taqiyya is normative Islam too.
Ric says
The UK sold its soul decades ago and will continue to do so until the flag of Islam or ISIS unfurls from every flag staff of this pathetic, politically-correct, spineless Union.
Linda Rivera says
I dread to think of the promises traitor Cameron gave to Qatar. Promises to increase muslim immigration even more. Promises to invite Qatar’s top terrorists into Britain. Promises that Qatar’s top people will take part in daily meetings in London and tell the PM exactly what they want done that day and every day. Promises to increase the persecution of patriotic Brits who protest muslim sex-attacks, sex-slavery, Islamisation, mosques and sharia.
Britain was given to our people by God, just as Europe was given to Europeans by God. On Judgment Day, Cameron and all the traitors will face God — and tremble in fear.
