Qatar is the main state supporter of the terror group Hamas and of the Muslim Brotherhood. Hamas’ senior leaders have long been provided with luxurious and secure accommodations in Doha, from where they plot their campaigns against Israel.
Qatar spends more on American institutions of higher education than any other country, and its money pays for endowed chairs of Middle Eastern and Islamic studies, and lecture series on the wickedness of the “Zionist entity” and the sufferings the “Palestinians” have endured. This tiny and very rich country been able to undermine Israel’s image and to spread antisemitism throughout many of our most prestigious universities.
In Qatar itself, antisemitic schoolbooks remain unrevised, and Qatari children are raised on a steady diet of anti-Jewish hatred and praise of terrorism. More on those schoolbooks can be found here: “Qatar’s Children Still Study Antisemitic Textbooks That Whitewash Hitler, Promote Violent Jihad, Study Finds,” by David Michael Swindle, Algemeiner, February 16, 2026:
Despite Qatari leaders’ rhetoric seemingly promoting peace and opposing hate, the Middle Eastern country continues to educate students with textbooks that celebrate terrorism, hide the Holocaust, and demonize the Jewish people by affirming longstanding antisemitic tropes, according to a new study.
The Institute for Monitoring Peace and Cultural Tolerance in School Education (IMPACT-se), a nonprofit organization that analyzes schoolbooks and curricula around the world, reviewed 52 textbooks officially approved for the 2025-2026 State of Qatar national school curriculum, in addition to checking them against previous editions for potential revisions. The books covered topics ranging from social studies, geography, and history to Islamic education, Arabic language, and Arabic literature. IMPACT-se applied UNESCO-derived standards and guidelines of peace and tolerance in education.
The researchers found that the same problems from the 2021-2022 school year had not improved, as the textbooks “continue to reproduce antisemitic narratives, religious intolerance toward non-Muslims, and legitimization of violent jihad, all of which were documented in IMPACT-se’s earlier reports.”
The antisemitic material includes promoting stereotypes of Jews as arrogant liars obsessed with opposing Islam. The texts also cast Jews as “fleeing in fear, spreading discord, breaching agreements,” and possessing an “excessive attachment to material wealth, thereby reinforcing an image of Jews as fundamentally untrustworthy.”
In historical recounts of the Arab-Israeli conflict, the textbooks depict Jews as manipulating global affairs and deny Jewish historical connections to the Land of Israel. Maps of the region describe the borders of Mandatory Palestine, the name for the area from 1920-1948 when it was under British administration, as split between “Palestinian territory” and “Israeli expansion.”
The textbooks for Qatari children also glorify violent jihad and death in the name of Islam. They teach that students should “love jihad” and expect entry into paradise for those who choose martyrdom. These instructions accompany demonizations of non-Muslims as “infidels,” “pagans,” and “polytheists.” The textbooks offer little objective information about other faiths. They also promote an Arab nationalist ideology, oppose a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and describe Hamas terrorist attacks as “military operations.”
IMPACT-se researchers cite an Islamic education book for sixth graders as an example of the curriculum’s promotion of terrorism.
“An Islamic education lesson teaches that one of the ways to measure a good Muslim woman is to raise children to sacrifice their lives, in what is understood to be violent jihad,” the report states. “The chapter about classical Islamic figure Nusaybah bint Ka’b praises the fact that she raised her children ‘to love jihad,’ pointing out that her three children later ‘died as martyrs for the sake of Allah Almighty.’ The textbook authors describe this type of upbringing as ‘optimal.’”…
Transparency by American institutions of higher learning about foreign funding, both with the government and with the American people, is highly desirable, but it does little to end the influence of Qatari money on those institutions. Perhaps our government could do something much more effective, and ban American institutions from accepting funding from Qatar or from any source that “promotes antisemitism and terrorism” in its own schools, as that surely means that such a source will do the same in the American programs it funds.
Wellington says
I support much of what Trump is trying to do but I to date fail to see the wisdom in his being so cozy with Qatar. I have to allow for the fact that Trump knows exactly what he is doing but, frankly, I don’t think this most probable at this time. Hope my probability reckoning here is wrong.
John Smith says
Wellington most of us are also having difficulty trying to fathom Trump out. Some here have even said, “that Trump knows nothing at all about islam,” but they are wrong. Trump knows exactly what islam is all about he made that quite clear to us the first time he was president. What he’s up to these days only he knows that, and only time will tell.
Malibu SC says
It isn’t really trump it is the deep state, and America in general that put uncle Trump in this difficult position.
Being cozy was not Qatars idea, it was our genius idea. We wanted a line of communication with Hamas and others, so Qatar became somewhat a safe zone.
But don’t believe too much of what you read because Qatar is quickly changing as we speak. Muslim brotherhood bank accounts are being cut slowly, they are leaving there.
To be fair Qatar can not look weak, and these changes will come slowly. A lot of things are out of the presidents hands, Qatar is a major ally with major leverage. You can change things but slowly. Is it fair to put Qatar in that position and then blame them for it?
gravenimage says
Agreed, Wellington and John.
Rob Porter says
If Trump “knows exactly what Islam is all about”, then he us a highly unprincipled individual when apparently so at ease in the company of murderous, terrorist-funding, when dealing with total human trash. However, I don’t think he’s very smart about Islam because if he was he would know that they endless lie and deceive , and not so gullibly swallow the mindless drivel Witkoff feeds him, for example, that Hamas is going to disarm’, ‘that it ‘want’s an end to the fighting’, when pretty much everything Hamas says is a lie. The composition of his Board of Peace tells us that nothing of value will be achieved through this Muslim-laden Board, but never mind he tells us this is the “most prestigious board of leaders ever assembled”. That happens to be total nonsense.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
He had the right instincts in 2019-2020, when he supported the 4 Arab countries leading a boycott of Qatar – Saudis, Emirates, Egypt and Bahrein. At the time, it was Pompeo’s state department that was sabotaging him, and Pompeo is one of those “Republican” know-it-alls who supports the Mujahideen Khalq in Iran, instead of either supporting the Pahlavi transition (which will ultimately let Iranians decide who they want) or staying neutral. Anyway, at the time, US was busy trying to resolve that dispute, instead of supporting the Saudis in insisting that Qatar too clean up its act
This term has been a complete about face, so I wonder whether either the Qataris or the Turks got to him. I just hope he hasn’t been taking that foreign policy advice from Tucker Carlson
James Lincoln says
Infidel,
To your point, Pres. Trump should have never accepted the Boeing 747-8 as a gift from the Qatari government for a new Air Force One.
The optics were – and still are – terrible.
Not sure what’s going on…

Walter Sieruk says
This news about the Qatari textbooks that Praise the jihad ,, no matter ho bloody murderous it actually is, and whitewashes the the truth about the villainous tyrant , Hitler, should be of no surprise to an person who is well informed about the sinister and insidious nature of Qatar.
To give only two example s upholding this statement are as followers…
First , Qatar in many insidious ways fund and support many jihad terror murder entities.
.
Second , that’s terrible enough ,but it’s very obvious that those insidious stealth jihadists gaining power and influence of those high positions institutions of “higher education, to be anti-Jewish and anti -Israel , must, obviously , be accepting “gifts”, bribes, from persons from foreign oil rich countries .as Qatar
Specifically, Qatar, that Islamic nation has infiltrated and then influenced many Universities and colleges across North America
Billy says
Imbecile, compromised Trump is speeding up the Islamization of America and the West by partnering with Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, UAE, etc., Terrorist Countries for Allah with discrimination, segregation, violence, and terrorism as taught in Islam’s Qur’an(Qur’an 9:5, 29, 111; 49:15; 98:6-7, etc.). Muslim Countries invest billions in America to buy influence and to islamize our Western Laws, our Schools, our Governments, our Police, etc. via Islamic Law for ultimate conquest.
Allah’s Islam, a CRIMINAL-TERRORIST-GANG ENTERPRISE and a MURDEROUS-DEMONIC CULT OF BELIEVERS, Terrorist Muslim Soldiers for satanic Allah, continually fund, promote, and practice ideological subversion, propaganda, bigotry, discrimination, deceit, industrial-scale slavery, human trafficking, intimidation, supremacy, segregation, hatred, incitement to violence, criminality, genocide, victimhood, censorship, and terrorism as taught in Islamic Law, Sharia, and in Islam’s Qur’an(Qur’an 5:14,35; 8:60; 9:41, 88; 45:18; 47:4; 60:4, etc.). ISLAM IS THE PRACTICE OF ISLAMIC LAW(Qur’an 1:5; 3:51,101; 5:48, etc.). Islam and its Muslims, enemies of Non-Muslims, are a Muslim Terrorist Organization(MTO).
Allah describes Muslim women in Jenna, Allah’s Paradise, as whores of Allah in Qur’an 56:37. Also, Deceitful Allah stirs hatred, cursing, and punishment against Christians until the resurrection day when Qur’an 5:14 instructs, “And some of those who say, ‘Surely we are Nasara (Christians),’ we took their covenant. So they have forgotten a part of what they were reminded of, so we have stirred up ENMITY and HATRED among them until the resurrection day. And Allah will inform them of what they were doing.” See also Qur’an 2:225; 60:4; 8:55.
As taught by Allah, Muslims are supremacist terrorists for Allah with their MONEY and with their LIVES while undermining a society from within using the man-made book of lies and deceit, the Qur’an. Allah in Qur’an 49:15 states, “Surely the believers[Muslims] are only those who believed in Allah and his messenger. They do not doubt, and they performed jihad with their MONEY and their LIVES for the sake of Allah. Those are the truthful.” As evidenced by continuous Muslim attacks, Allah in Qur’an 4:101 says, “…Surely the infidels(Non-Muslims) were your clear enemies.”
ALLAH’S MUSLIMS are a greater TERROR than diabolical Allah. Allah in Qur’an 59:13 says, “You[Muslims] are a greater terror in their chests than Allah. This is because they[Jews & Christians] are people who do not understand.” Islam must be banned as illegal, and we have the legal right to defend ourselves from Muslim violence. As a result, Non-Muslims are marked for death by Islam and its Muslims. Allah in Qur’an 9:29 commands, “Engage in war with those who do not believe in Allah nor in the last day. Nor forbid what Allah and his messenger forbid, nor believe in the religion of the truth among those who have given the book until they pay the jizyah out of hand and they are subdued.”
Again, Islam is a civilization-destroying, totalitarian, and supremacist system of lies and deceit because Allah, the best deceiver, is the actual source of Muslim deceit as taught in Islam’s Qur’an. Muslims under Islam’s system of deceit are more easily controlled because there is no foundation for truth in Islam. Allah in Qur’an 3:54 says, “And they deceived, and Allah deceived. And Allah is the best deceiver.” Allah in Qur’an 8:30 says, “…And Allah is the best deceiver.” Allah in Qur’an 13:42 says, “And indeed, those before them deceived, so to Allah all the deception…”
David Lakatos says
Islam has been waging a campaign of terror on humanity for 1400 years.
Wellington says
With this I agree. Stunning (and highly instructive) that Islam didn’t get a pass in the West until some half century ago. I would contend this is DIRCTLY due to the West going into stupid mode from the 1960s onwards.
Michael Paul Skok says
Another way of saying “stupid” is “lots of cheap oil.”
AGall says
It’s just a pity that these backwaters were found to be full of oil otherwise they would still be whipping their camels through the desert. Now they have untold influence through their newfound wealth and are using it to undermine western and Jewish values.
gravenimage says
True enough, Agall.
somehistory says
When muzzies talk about ‘peace,’ and other good things, they don’t think of those things like the rest of mankind.
To muzzies, peace can mean anything but actual peace with infidels, with Christians, Jews or others.
When muzzies write or speak of “opposing hate,’ they are not thinking in the same way as those they hate.
When a person is learning a new language, they must learn to *think* in that language in order to be a success.
muzzies have their own *language*….and I don’t mean arabic….with their own definitions of various words.
Love, hate, peace, war. terrorist….do not mean the same things to muzzies as they mean to infidels.
So when a muzzie is saying peace, those who are intelligent in the ways of muzzies, will realize it means war against the infidel until the infidels are no longer in existence.
