Jihad Watch

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

Qatar: Small, but dangerous

Jul 13, 2019 12:00 pm By Rami Dabbas

Qatar has supported terrorism in Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Libya, Tunisia and Egypt, and has spent huge amounts of money in support and funding of jihad groups and terrorist activities in Europe and elsewhere in the West. Qatar has supported jihad terrorism in order to gain a foothold in some Arab and regional countries, so as to counterbalance its small size and relative weakness, as well as its lack of any political or military weight in the Middle East. Indeed, Qatar has succeeded in penetrating some countries by means of terrorism and aiding in the formation of armed terrorist groups such as al Qaeda in Syria and Iraq, destabilizing security. Qataris also purchase political power and influence, furthering the Qatari dream of being a regional power, or at least giving the illusion of being one.

The main supporter of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt was Qatar. The resounding fall of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt and the insistence of the Egyptian people on getting rid of the Muslim Brotherhood regime has had a great impact on the psyche of the Qatari regime. This, in turn, has had a very negative effect on Qatar’s policies towards Egypt and other Arab countries that have rejected the Muslim Brotherhood’s terrorism, and who have also worked to eradicate it from that region and the world.

Qatar’s support for jihad terrorism became a political ideology that seeped into Qatari military, security, diplomatic and even charitable institutions. This has led to an unprecedented increase in the spread of jihad terrorism in the region, accompanied by the emergence of many jihad terrorist groups under the support of Qatar, which provides them with funds and weapons. This has prompted other Arab countries to boycott Qatar in order to stop its terrorist activities, which have violated the security and stability of the region.

Qatar-funded Muslim Brotherhood activities in Europe, meanwhile, have promoted Europe’s Islamization. Qatar’s solidarity with Iran and its coordination with the Islamic Revolutionary Guards (which is designated as a terrorist organization by the United States), the Quds Force, and the Iranian intelligence have worked to undermine the security and stability of the neighboring Arab countries in particular, and that of the entire world. Qatar’s activities in support of terrorism in the Gulf region and worldwide continue.

Qatar also supports the activities of notorious anti-West activists Linda Sarsour and Ilhan Omar, for example, and in an attempt to exploit poor youth, it recruits them for terrorist organizations such as the Houthis in Yemen, Hezbollah, and Iraqi sectarian jihadist militias, as well as for the remnants of the Islamic State (ISIS), in order to destabilize national security, especially in Egypt and Saudi Arabia, in retaliation for isolating Qatar and its ally, the Muslim Brotherhood. Qatar has hampered progress and development in the Arab anti-Muslim Brotherhood countries by targeting security and stability, striking at their relations with the world, and trying to target their interests and investments. This has become one of the main reasons for Qatar’s support for jihad terrorism.

Qatar has become an ally to Iran and its proxies, as well as of Erdogan’s Turkey and the Muslim Brotherhood. Qatar has become a tool of Iranian terrorism and Turkish interventions, and a financial tool for Turkey’s proxies in Europe. Because of its alliances with Iran and Turkey, it has now become a dangerous security risk for Arabic countries and the world in general.

Why is Qatar important to the United States? Simply because of Al Udeid Air Base, which is one of the most important US bases in the world. It is used by other US allies for military operations, such as the United Kingdom and Australia during the Gulf Wars and operations in Syria. Qatar is a tiny, rich state which pays for US lobbyists and US politicians to influence some of the policies of the US. For example: “Qatar has spent $16.3 million lobbying the U.S. in 2017, compared to $4.2 million in 2016, in an attempt to lobby about 250 people who can influence President Trump’s foreign policy.”

Qatar. Small, but dangerous.

    The Taliban and rival Afghan parties “promise to reduce violence” following the second and final day of peace talks in Doha, Qatar….

    • CRUSADER says

      Jul 13, 2019 at 12:33 pm

      This opulent meeting in Qatar comes after the meeting
      which occurred in Russia earlier in May….

      In a message the Taliban have not altered since talks with the US started last autumn, Taliban co-founder and political leader Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar said the insurgents want an end to 18 years of conflict – but would only sign a deal after foreign forces quit Afghanistan. The Taliban are ‘really committed to peace, but think the obstacle for peace should be removed first’, Baradar said in a rare televised appearance at the start of the two-day meeting marking 100 years of diplomatic ties between Russia and Afghanistan. ‘The obstacle is the occupation of Afghanistan, and that should end,’ Baradar added.

      (Look closely at the faces in the video of people shaking hands, and
      see how many you can recognize….)

    Some of the worst pain ever experienced was caused by the bite of an ant to the end of my thumb…just under my nail. It swelled, turned beet red, and throbbed all night as I kept it on ice. Yes, a “bite” not a sting.

    One does not have to be large to be formidable. Money and islam…a dangerous combination.

      There’s much news, lately, about Quatar coming to the US. They’ve decided they want to come to MY state of SC, and build an air base of some sort!! I don’t want them here!

      South Carolina is becoming home to a quiet Qatari military aircraft project

      I don’t know how truthful that website is, but I can only hope it’s fake news, or this gets canceled before it even begins! And everyone is so excited, about how many jobs it will bring!! HORRIBLE!!

    Qatar had held US-Taliban-Afghan talks earlier in the year….
    but the BBC reports that the Afghan government has been left out.

    A giant fig leaf to cover an “honorable” withdrawal?

    Mr. Sean Savage said:

    “…the ADL has uncovered virulently
    anti-Semitic passages in Qatari state textbooks.

    These books claim that:

    Jewish people are treacherous,
    seek to conquer the world and follow
    a perverted, invalid religion.

    The books also contained numerous
    examples of anti-Christian bigotry,
    as well as incitement against the West.”

    Qatar’s government also funds the
    International Union of Muslim Scholars,
    whose Secretary-General openly denies
    the Holocaust, according to the
    Middle East Media Research Institute.”

    It is difficult for me to understand how Sheikh al-Thani of Qatar can fund a world-wide network of mujahidin terrorists through the militant Sunni Salafi Muslim Brotherhood, and at the same time collaborate with the militant Shia Mullahs of Iran. Aren’t the Salafi mujahidin actively at war with Shia Iran and its Hezbollah militias in Syria, Iraq and Yemen?

    Looking at the article and messages left by people leaves me baffled by the replies left by some ignorant people or left by people who are paid to leave negative feedback about Qatar.
    Yes some of you can’t even spell right.
    I’m not a qatari but live in Qatar and proud to live there. All the bullshit spewed about qatar is baseless especially about terrorism.

    • ElderlyZionist says

      Jul 14, 2019 at 2:00 pm

      Does Sheikh al-Thani not fund and arm Salafi mujahidin in Syria, Iraq and Yemen?

    Qatar has gold foundries to melt the gold ingots of the cocaine trade from Colombia via Venezuela’s El Aisami to launder the money by changing the imprint of origin on the processed “new” ingots, for that of the Arab Emirates one, to be used as legal tender, aiding the world distribution of the deadly drug, enriching Maduro’s regime, the FARC and ELN gangsters.
