Relying on allies that aren’t allies is yet another consequence of the Washington establishment’s determined refusal to face the realities of the jihad, and to formulate policy based on those realities.
“Qatar ‘broke promise to US over Guantanamo detainee,'” by David Blair, the Telegraph, December 12, 2014 (thanks to Lookmann):
Qatar broke an “explicit” promise by allowing a former Guantánamo detainee who had trained with al-Qaeda to leave the country and visit Britain, a new report has found.
Jarallah al-Marri, who attended an al-Qaeda training camp in Afghanistan before the terrorist attacks on September 11, was freed from Guantánamo in 2008.
Mr Marri was allowed to go home to Qatar in return for a formal promise from the government of the Gulf state that he would not be allowed to leave the country. But a report from the Foundation for the Defence of Democracies in Washington said this pledge was broken.
Mr Marri was allowed to leave Qatar to visit Britain twice in 2009, where he spoke at events alongside Moazzem Begg, another former Guantánamo inmate. On his second visit, he was arrested by the British authorities and returned to Qatar.
A diplomatic cable from the US Embassy in Qatar states that Mr Marri was allowed back to the Gulf state “with the explicit understanding (made via exchange of diplomatic notes) that he would be subject to a travel ban”.
If Mr Marri tried to leave, the Qatari government promised to inform America.
Nonetheless, he was still allowed to visit Britain. The US cable concludes that the Qatari authorities “deliberately withheld information on Jarallah al-Marri’s travel outside of Qatar”….

So, released Gitmo prisoners, who are al Qaeda trained, are allowed to visit England, but not Spencer and Geller. Wow, look how far down the traitor hole the elites of England have gone.
Zebo says
That’s interessting because Qatar has special laws which make it almost impossible for foreigners to leave qatar.
But the most interessting thing considering islam (and the catastrophic work of western media to protect islam)
Qatar is a 100% muslim country and the most rich country on earth considering income.
Though this country is superrich they pay the kafur workers only 1 dollar (sometimes less) per hour for working in 50+degrees celsius working 200hours + per month .Anti-human work condition and
anti human shelter for nepalese and indian workers.
This show how muslims really are.Even when they are superrich they treat you like shit and pay you like a slave.(imagine how much muslims would cry if they’d be treated that way in the west)
It would be no problem for this muslim superrich scum to pay them at least 5 dollars an hour,but they Won”t.
But where is the failure of western politicians and media??
Since Qatar got the football World Cup 2022 more than 1200 kafur workers died while building the football-arenas-and western media and politicians(after ignoring this for yeary) pretend to be upset
while ,once again,focussing on a “minor” issue,while(willingfully)ignoring the real catastrophy.
These 1200 workers and few arenas are a fraction of a fraction of the real scandal.
40 years ago the skyline in Qatar you can see now did not exist(only desert and camels and camel-loving beduins=primitivity=islam at its best)
And all those buildings you can see now in qatar were build by slave workers in the last 4 decades.
If 1200 workers died while building a handfull of football arenas in 6 years.
How many kafur workers have died to built all the hundreds of huge and ten thousands of small buildings you can see now in Qatar??
50.000 or 150.000.
Noone is talking about this Genozide!
And you can be sure that almost all workers were kafurs as Qataris would never pay muslim such low wages(because they won’t be called greedy bastards by other muslims) nor would they use them because they know they are bad educated ,not reliable ,no disciplin and incompetent workers.)
Qatar is the best example of how even rich countries treats non muslims like shit and a good example that they since mohammed rely on the hard work of others people.
They neither invent nor built-just parasitize from others.

Wonder what they expected!

And we’re suppose to believe MI6 didn’t know about this piece of pig excrement, and what Qatar was doing ? Har de har har. 🙁
As has already been pointed out: Robert Spencer and Pamela Geller are banned from entering the UK, but this monster is allowed in. I just can’t describe how utterly sickening this is.
mortimer says
PM Dave Cameron and Home Secretary Theresa May are DELUDED about what most Muslims support: jihad.
Delusion is defined as an idiosyncratic belief or impression that is firmly maintained despite being contradicted by what is generally accepted as reality or rational argument, typically a symptom of mental disorder.
The rational argument is that opinion surveys reveal very strong support among Muslims for violent jihad…even among Muslims resident in UK.

Pretty much what I thought why did the brits, who apparently are engaged in a war against extremism, let him in?

Bukhari (52:269) – “The Prophet said, ‘War is deceit.'” The context of this is thought to be the murder of Usayr ibn Zarim and his thirty unarmed men by Muhammad’s men after he “guaranteed” them safe passage.
Reliance of the Traveler – “[it is] OBLIGATORY to lie if the goal is obligatory… Whether the purpose is war, settling a disagreement, or GAINING THE SYMPATHY OF A VICTIM legally entitled to RETALIATE… it is not unlawful to lie when any of these aims can only be attained through lying. But it is religiously precautionary in all cases to employ words that give a misleading impression…”
Bukhari (49:857) – “He who MAKES PEACE between the people by inventing good information or saying good things, is not a liar.” Lying is permitted when the end justifies the means.
Jalal al-Din al-Suyuti in his book, “al-Durr al-Manthoor Fi al-Tafsir al-
Ma’athoor,” v2, p176, narrates that:
Abd Ibn Hameed, on the authority of al-Hassan, said: “al-Taqiyya is
permissible until the Day of Judgment.”
Narrated in Sahih al-Bukhari, v7, p102, that Abu al-Darda’ said:
“(Verily) we smile for some people, while our hearts curse (those same
people).”
Though not called Taqiyya by name, Muhammad clearly used deception when he signed a 10-year treaty with the Meccans that allowed him access to their city while he secretly prepared his own forces for a takeover. The unsuspecting residents were conquered in easy fashion after he broke the treaty two years later, and some of the people in the city who had trusted him at his word were executed.

The Ayatollah Obama Scumbag , حقيبة آية الله أوباما الزبد knew this was going to happen, he doesn’t care.
ItsJo says
I think Obama WANTS these Muslims out of Gitmo, knowing they WILL be back causing problems and Killing Again. He is MORE about Their freedom and shutting down Gitmo, which is ideal, as far as keeping them as “Enemy Combatants.” These are Terrorists, otherwise, they would NOT have been kept at Gitmo. Obama is “overwhelming ALL our systems in place, causing chaos, and looking to turn Our Republic into an “American Dumping Ground” as he hates this nation and is spitefully paying “back the White Colonists and Founding Fathers. His Mentor for 10 years, Communist – Frank Marshall Davis taught him ALL he knows about being “Anti-America.” NO ONE should EVER trust Qatar-they LIE like O.
Wellington says
Same old same old.
We have here (again) a front for Islam’s supremacist designs, in this case Qatar (respecting the correct pronunciation of which, “gutter,” should be relished by those who cherish both irony and liberty), which has allowed an “enthusiastic Muslim,” who has come to said country on condition that he not leave said country, ah, to leave it. Yes, what a surprise.
And where does this enthusiastic Muslim travel to? Why to the UK of course, which has banned Robert Spencer and Pamela Geller from entering the once gloried Sceptered Isle which is increasingly looking like the Subjected Isle. And so in microcosm can be seen the great screw-up of our time, to wit, that freedom fighters like Spencer and Geller cannot enter Britain, the home of the rebirth of liberty after the demise of ancient Greece, but this barbarous SOB can. Ass-backwards stuff to be sure. And yet the fault lies here not first and foremost with Islam and its deluded followers, despicable, totalitarian and liberty-crushing though Islam be and confused and often wicked Islam’s deluded followers certainly are, but rather with the present British elites in the political realm, the media and academia.
Expansively, and really and truly and cross-my-heart stuff and hope to die kind of pledge, I believe it could quite reasonably be argued that the greatest collection of overeducated and harmful fools in the entire history of Western Civilization are those now presently leading the West——those like Cameron, Obama, Blair, Kerry, Clinton (both of them), the major news networks in America, Britain, Canada, et al., and, no surprise here, the huge number of eternally clueless and Western-despising academics in the West who prove again and again that Orwellian maxim that some ideas are so awful, so stupid, that only intellectuals could could come up with them or unremittingly defend them.
Goofy world. Western Civilization, easily the greatest in the entire history of mankind I would argue, is now first and foremost under assault by, I will invoke Ataturk here, those who “follow the immoral ravings of a 7th-century Bedouin,” who established a religion that “poisons our lives.” Ditto for the Western dhimmis now in charge for whom, I am certain, Mustapha Kemal would have entertained nothing but the greatest contempt.

And someone somewhere, some how thought that Qatar would abide by their agreement or that King Hussein I, in Washington D.C. wanted them to???

In defense of Qatar… this guy has an awesome mullet. Apparently, an awesome mullet gets you whatever you want in Qatar (note to self).
At least this guy will be bringing a different fashion to the ‘workplace violence’ beheadings we’re all growing accustomed to in the West. At least it’s a change from the bushy hate beard and dirty pajamas look that most of these Islamists jihadis go for nowadays.
Seriously, though– this is awful. It’s beyond ridiculous that our leaders in the West trust the word of any Muslim. It’s just more taqiyya, yo’…
Vostro says
Maybe the US should let them in on the secret of “No Fly lists.” He should have never been allowed to leave “Gutter,” and definitely should NOT been allowed to enter Great Britain.” He must have just “blended in” with the hordes entering into Great Britain.

What is wrong, Arab country that harbors terrorists with room and board and ammunition to be trustworthy. This POTUS and earlier ones are really naive,or is Arab money making the decisions. Terrorists should be spayed like a dog.
Dvult says
To be fair to Qatar, they probably correctly understood that they were to promise whatever they promised as political cover at the time of the transfer but that it was not required to keep the promise. It was an Obama promise – say whatever sounds good today then do whatever you want tomorrow.
