Qatar also funds the Brookings Institution, which wields enormous influence in Washington foreign policy circles — and in part explains why the foreign policy establishment is so willfully ignorant and unwilling to deal realistically or honestly with the jihad threat.
“Qatar allows money to flow to ISIS, other terrorists: report,” by Guy Taylor, The Washington Times, December 10, 2014:
The government of Qatar continues to willfully turn a blind eye to individuals channeling money to al Qaeda-affiliated groups across the Middle East and to Islamic State extremists in Syria and Iraq, despite joining a U.S.-led military coalition battling the militant group, according to a report released Wednesday by a Washington-based think tank….
Senior Qatari government officials have denied claims they support the Islamic State and other extremists, asserting the nation has backed moderate groups only, in coordination with the CIA and other Western and Arab intelligence agencies. Qatar’s director of intelligence told the BBC in October the nation had nothing to hide over its support for groups fighting for the ouster of Syrian President Bashar Assad.
But Tuesday’s report maintains such support has included a flow of cash from private individuals in Qatar to the Islamic State and a host of other groups and individuals listed as terrorists by the United States.
“Individuals taking advantage of Qatar’s ‘permissive jurisdiction’ for terror finance have provided funding in recent years to the leaders of [the Islamic State], the Khorasan Group, the Nusra Front (under which Khorasan operates), al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, al-Shabaab, the Taliban, Lashkar-e-Taiba, and core al-Qaeda in Pakistan, to name just a few,” the report says….

Yet we in the UK continue to allow these creatures to buy up vast tracts of of London. Canary Wharf is next. At least we can sieze these assets back come the revolution.

Abu Dhabi has just purchased The New Scotland Yard building for £370 million. Apparently the police need the money as they have spent their budget trying to track terrorists! Expect to see a mega mosque in its place.
Joeb says
They bought the biggest bullring in Spain, The Monumental, in Barcelona. Plans? Why, turn it into a mosque of course! Capacity 40,000, the biggest in Europe.
Charli Main says
A couple tons of pigs blood, guts and testicles scattered around the ground might solve the problem.
A couple of hundred pigs heads on spikes should help.
If these Muslim vermin build a mosque on the Monumental’s grounds, the ONLY people to blame are the Catalans that allow it to be built.
Shame really, because the Catalans played a major role in driving the Muslim invaders of Christian Spain back to their shithole in North Africa.

How do you reckon the World Cup is going to pan out?
Joeb says
I don’t think it will happen, because the war in the ME is going to get worse, suck in more people. It’s got years to run yet.
Anyone going to play football there will be nuts. I reckon it will be cancelled. It will just be too dangerous.

Sounds a lot like Obama / McCain foreign policy of insisting on supporting their ‘good and trust worthy friends’ in Syria.

I’d be interested to know how many refugees and migrants driven from their homes by ISIL are being accepted by Qatar, Saudi Arabia and all the other Islamic States that fund ISIL through their ‘Islamic Charities’.
Salah says
“..the nation has backed moderate groups only, in coordination with the CIA..”
And since we know that there is no such thing as a “moderate group,” we come to one and only logical conclusion: Qatar is funding ISIL in coordination with the CIA.
The “airstrikes” farce in nothing but a PR saving face strategy, it is not meant to defeat ISIL.
And Obama KNOWS IT.
ISIL’s success is due to one thing only: the greenlight from the W.H.
Obama has innocent blood on his hands.

Off Topic
about Christy
Before I head out the door today and miss JW’s troll display.
I would just like to say:
Good luck finding dry land while swimming in Christy’s raging sea of tu quoque.
Who is Christy?
Unlike Rezali Mehil, it is very unlikely that Christy will come clean and admit that (he/she) is a card-carrying follower of Shia Islam. But, isn’t it kind of obvious?
There is that all too familiar desperate need to rationalize Islam’s barbarity in order to cover up the embarrassment of the many decades of willful groveling submission to Sunni conquerers. With Shiites it runs in the family from generation to generation. Remember Shiites love to flog themselves silly to show that they are truly Muslims. How pathetic is that? While Sunnis can certainly be very obnoxious, haven’t we all seen how the Sunnis at least tend to behave a bit more restrained in showing off their desperation? Christy will no doubt falsely accuse me of trying to incite division between Sunni and Shia as if that needs any assistance.
Shiites like Christy are not even Muslims, not truly.
It has become all too embarrassingly obvious to Mecca and throughout all of the Muslim world that Christy’s Shia Islam (‘Stockholm Syndrome Islam’) is like an insecure lap-dog groveling for Islamic approval.

Christy who?

I guess moderate means the lesser of two evils, and accidents do happen..I just wonder how Hamas-CAIR fits in with Qatar and Congress? Good news there will be a new sheriff in town soon-Throwing the intelligence community under the bus and their fits over budget extensions sound like a death knell.
Killing young Christian children because they won’t convert to IS LAM and instead say they love Jesus-I have to believe that the new year will not be kind to ISIS or those that support them. That is if God has anything to do with it, and he just told me he does.
