Feeling humiliated by Israel, Qatar is issuing economic threats on West, but jihad is the worse threat

Israel’s attack on Qatari soil was a shock to the world, but it never should have been. There were deep ties and coordination between Qatar and Hamas. Documents found in Gaza have also shown a Hamas-Qatar coordination against Trump’s peace plan. Following Israel’s strike in Doha, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said at a US Embassy event in Jerusalem: “The days are over when terror leaders will enjoy immunity in a particular place… Our enemies must know one thing — since the creation of Israel, the blood of Jews is not cheap!…the Hamas leaders were meeting in the exact place where they celebrated on October 7, 2023, while Hamas was still carrying out the slaughter inside Israel.” 

Now Doha is a source of world discussion and is under scrutiny as it stands humiliated, and is responding with threats. “Qatar Was Seriously Weakened And Humiliated By The Bombing In Doha And Now It Is Spreading Threats Of Economic Pressure On The West – Warning: Qatar Is Not Only An Economic World Power, It Is Also A Jihadi Entity; Remember 9/11”, by Yigal Carmon, MEMRI, September 16, 2025:

For over two decades, Qatar positioned itself above the Arab countries in two major ways: with its huge economic power to buy politicians all over the West; and its ability to play a double game with America.

It kept inciting against America and supporting anti-American Islamist terrorist organizations and movements. Pumping billions of dollars into American universities to radicalize them against America and President Trump, using Al-Jazeera, its owned and operated global media giant, for that purpose. At the same time, it played America’s second-in-command over the Arab world.

All Arab states hate Qatar, but they had to acquiesce to President Trump’s and Israel’s collaboration with it. Israel, after signing the Abraham Accords with the UAE, stabbed the UAE in the back by allowing Qatar to position itself above it. This tragic situation reached a point where most Arab countries – both those who needed Qatari support and those who did not need it, like the UAE and KSA, but were afraid of its dangerous relations with Iran – bowed down to Qatar.

The bombing in Doha changed everything. Qatar was revealed at its weakest…

There is no argument about how powerful Qatar is to Islam itself. Shari’a law is the main source of its legislation, despite the fact that it has some elements of democracy, ostensibly for utilitarian purposes. For instance, there are registered churches in Qatar, even though they are restricted to a single, gated religious complex in Doha called the Qatar Religious Complex. Qatar has managed to brilliantly outsmart the West, primarily via diplomacy and its impressive economic influence. According to Global Markets, Qatar is “in command of one of the world’s largest sovereign wealth funds, Qatar’s economic foundations are becoming ever stronger. Strategic expansion of its unrivalled natural gas deposits, fiscal restraint and a thriving non-oil sector combine to create a platform for transformative growth.”

Many Western countries which have engaged with Qatar have benefited in various ways from this engagement, although the longterm effects are anything but beneficial. For instance, Qatar’s enormous funding of educational institutions in particular serves to spread the tenets of Islam, especially including anti-Israel rhetoric of the most virulent kind, which is unsurprising given Qatar’s open support of Hamas. For many universities in America, “the Qatari capital is home to ‘Education City,’ which hosts an outpost of Northwestern’s journalism school and Georgetown’s foreign policy school, each of which has received hundreds of millions from the wealthy Gulf state. Cornell, which built a medical school campus in Doha, has received $2.1 billion from Qatar.”

As a chief funder of the Muslim Brotherhood, Qatar transports the Brotherhood’s ethos globally. Take, for example, an excerpt from the book Jihad is the Way by Mustafa Mashhur, the official leader of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt from 1996 to 2002:

Muslim Brotherhood goal: Islamic world domination
– “…the Islamic Ummah [nation]… can regain its power, be liberated and assume its rightful position which was intended by Allah, as the most exalted nation among men, as the teachers of humanity…”

– “It should be known that Jihad and preparation for Jihad are not only for the purpose of fending-off assaults and attacks against Muslims by Allah’s enemies, but are also for the purpose of realizing the great task of establishing an Islamic state, strengthening the religion and spreading it around the world…”
– “…Jihad for Allah is not limited to the specific region of the Islamic countries. The Muslim homeland is one and is not divided. The banner of Jihad has already been raised in some of its parts, and it shall continue to be raised, with the help of Allah, until every inch of the land of Islam will be liberated, the State of Islam will be established…”

Means: Jihad – a mandatory religious duty
– “This is followed by the power of arms and weapons… This is the role of Jihad.”
– “Jihad is a religious public duty… incumbent upon the Islamic nation. Jihad is a personal duty to fend off the infidels’ attack on the nation…”
– “The youth should know that the problems of the Islamic world, such as Palestine, Afghanistan, Syria, Eritrea, or the Philippines, are not issues of territories and nations, but of faith and religion. They are problems of Islam and the Muslims, and they can be resolved neither by negotiation nor by recognizing the enemy’s right to the Islamic land he stole. Rather, the only option is Jihad for Allah, and this is why Jihad is the way.”
– “The symbol of the [Muslim] Brotherhood is the book of Allah [the Quran] between two swords. The swords symbolize Jihad and the force that protects the truth represented in Allah’s book.”
– “…that is, go out to battle, oh believers, young and old, by foot or on horseback, under all circumstances and conditions…”

Timing: Don’t rush, prepare carefully for Jihad
– “The [Muslim] Brotherhood will never rush after the youth’s enthusiasm to carry out immature and unplanned actions..Prepare yourself and train in the art of warfare…

The Muslim Brotherhood-supporting state of Qatar has been working stealthily in the West to subvert it from within. Recall the Muslim Brotherhood’s plan for North America (and more broadly, for the West):

The process of settlement is a “Civilization-Jihadist Process” with all the word means. The Ikhwan must understand that their work in America is a kind of grand Jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and “sabotaging” its miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers so that it is eliminated and God’s religion is made victorious over all other religions. Without this level of understanding, we are not up to this challenge and have not prepared ourselves for Jihad yet. It is a Muslim’s destiny to perform Jihad and work wherever he is and wherever he lands until the final hour comes, and there is no escape from that destiny except for those who chose to slack. But, would the slackers and the Mujahedeen be equal…..

Qatar’s shock at the Israeli attack, its reaction to utter humiliation by Israel, and its subsequent economic threats to the West should be a wakeup call. The country should have never been trusted to begin with. It should have been kept at bay, or at least its influence should have been kept at manageable levels. But it wasn’t, and now Doha is humiliated and prepared to strike back.

What comes next will certainly be an adjustment for both Qatar and even the United States, which has become far too dependent on Qatari funding, but it is urgent that America and the West stand strong to expose the rot beneath the surface. Sharia-adherent countries have long been stealthily eroding the security and power of Western countries, and manipulating the freedom of Western societies to do so.

MEMRI also issues a warning: “Qatar is a Wahhabi jihadi Emirate committed to Islamist world power.” So its threats are more than economic. They go far beyond what “Qatari stooges” such as the New York Times are spreading, cautioning that America’s relations with Israel that risks alienating Qatar, since Qatar “hosts the largest American military base in the Middle East, has bought billions of dollars worth of defense systems from the United States and recently gifted a luxury Boeing jet to President Trump.” What MEMRI warns about is a much bigger concern:

The West should beware the misconception that all Qatar can do is apply economic pressure, which anyway is a lot. No – this is a dangerous misconception. Qatar is a jihadi emirate. It has supported jihadi organizations for years. It is responsible for a serious number of major terrorist attacks in the world perpetrated by Khaled Sheikh Mohammed (KSM) while he was a Qatari government employee. The attempt on the life of the John Paul II, the plan to down 11 American planes over the Pacific, the Bojinka operation, and others.

And not only Qatar, but other Muslim countries such as Turkey and even Saudi Arabia, which blamed Israel on October 7 (while Israelis were still being savaged) for its “occupation,” Qatar and Iran also condemned Israel on that dreadful day.

America stands at a crossroads. As the leader of the Western world, it must protect American values in the face of infiltration from Islamic countries of people who are bringing Sharia values with them to the West.  Much gratitude to Israel, which stands at the forefront of the global battle against the jihad.
