Another troubling aspect of the Afghanistan takeover by the Taliban is the stealth role of deceiving, Muslim Brotherhood-supporting Qatar. Qatar is now further parading its duplicity by calling on the Taliban to protect civilians.
Making matters worse is that Qatar, which pretends to be an ally to the U.S., and Turkey, which belongs to NATO, although it should long ago have been expelled), are also close allies of one another. They share the jihadist vision of expansion of Sharia hegemony using both stealth and violent means. Kowtowing globalists were never any match for Islamic supremacists. They have been played for fools and continue to be.
“Qatar: The ‘Stealth’ Pro-Islamist Subverter,” by Yigal Carmon and A. Smith, MEMRI, August 17, 2021:
In the inner sancta of their palaces, the Qatari royal family may soon celebrate the successful overthrow of the democratically elected government of Afghanistan by the Taliban, whom the Qatari royal family have supported for many years. Qatar has played this stealth role while masquerading over the past two years as a mediator between the democratically elected government of Afghanistan and the Taliban which, thanks to Qatari support,[2] has always had money enough to pay the Taliban fighters better than the U.S.-supported Afghan National Defense and Security Forces (ANDSF).[3] A 2009 cable signed by then Secretary of State Hillary Clinton read: “Qatar’s overall level of [counter-terrorism] cooperation with the U.S. is considered the worst in the region.”[4]
Former U.S. President Donald Trump was the one who allowed Qatar to play the role of mediator and to broker the February 29, 2020 agreement. But this agreement, ironically enough, was not at all between the two Afghan parties – the democratically elected government and the Taliban – it was an agreement between the Taliban and the United States, while the legitimate government of Afghanistan was excluded from this agreement by the Taliban and the United States together, both pressuring President Ghani to share power in the position that he had won in democratic elections, which the Taliban tried and failed to subvert by violence.[5]
The Biden administration has endorsed fully Trump’s policy of embracing Qatar as the major mediator[6] and pressuring President Ghani to surrender the authority he won in the elections, as shown in a letter from U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken to President Ghani that Afghan news outlet Tolo News published on March 8.[7] The Biden administration further endorsed Trump’s Special Representative for Afghanistan Reconciliation Zalmay Khalilzad as a non-partisan mediator even though he was known for his long-time forthcoming approach to the Taliban.[8] In the past, Khalilzad has been more involved with the Taliban, meeting with them in luxury hotels in the late 1990s to discuss matters including “their shared enthusiasm for a proposed multibillion-dollar pipeline deal” and presenting them as a palatable alternative to Iran in a 1996 editorial. Furthermore, the Biden administration copied the Trump administration’s self-defeating tactic of demanding only a “reduction of violence” for a short period instead of demanding a ceasefire……

This is why my next car is going to be electric.
Infidel says
That’s fine, but doesn’t have to be. Once we resume fracking and drilling and complete the Keystone and any other pipelines needed, we will be back to energy independence, and Qatar would have to look for new customers

True enough, Infidel.
But it won’t happen with the current White House resident…

True–but oil funds Jihad. No civilized nation should knowingly buy oil from any Muslim country.

Qatar has given money to Texas A&M for Islamic Studies…WhiteWashing Islam and I am upset about this as a Former Student.

Some very very bad Islam is coming out of Texas including publishing

Yes–scary stuff. And there was a time–quite recently–when Texas would have seemed almost immune to this kind of Taqiyya.
Infidel says
We can test both Qatar and Turkey by seeing whether they shelter all the Afghan refugees fleeing the Taliban
GreekEmpress says
The rich Muslim countries won’t share their wealth, IMO. Why would they when western countries can deplete their resources taking care of them. Turkey is already taking steps to make sure they don’t cross from Iran.

Infidel says
True, they won’t share their wealth, but then, we can hold it against them, particularly when the likes of Qatar appeal to us to save them from the Saudis and mediate b/w them
jule says
PAKISTAN, Turkey, Qatar (with all Hamas Leaders,) Yemen
and Media talks like ‘Qatar is helping so much with this problem’.

Fred van de Bunt says
Apart from important geopolitical games played by (western) elites, covered up “NGO” humanitarian `we care` blabber, the main question should be: how come a well-equipped Afghan army of 300.000 strong runs for some 75.000 hillbillies like the “Islam theology students” (=meaning of Taliban)?
Maybe those head chopping, stoning, torturing and raping “Islam theology students” serve a geopolitical purpose for the western elites? Maybe Islam does for the Western rulers?
Walter Sieruk says
The title alone of this article is interesting .Which is “Qatar and the Taliban longtime allies.”
What an unholy alliance !
The Bible informs its reader “Though hand join in hand , the wicked shall not be unpunished.”

Grimly true.

True, Giacomo–but this is *far* worse than the usual lining of pockets and suspician of taking bribes.
Crusades Were Right says
Just a few moments ago I watched a Qatari advert on the (perversely named) “Euronews” TV channel, asking viewers to “grow their business to Qatar”.
Oh, and NATO’s new demand on the Taliban, apparently, is that they must permit anyone in Afghanistan – including Afghans – who wants to leave to do so.
All good stuff. lol
