The Hidden Enemy of the West and Judeo–Christian Values

Tuesday, 25 February 2025 | Qatar is a small country of less than 5,000 square miles (12949.9 square km.) that yields enormous power due to its immense wealth, with which it has bought off politicians throughout Western Europe and North America. It has used its money to promote jihadist Islam of the Muslim Brotherhood variety, along with anti-Western and antisemitic incitement. According to Udi Levy, former head of Mossad’s unit of economic war against terror, “Qatar has conquered Europe” and has great influence on some of the richest people in the United States, many of them Jews who lobby for the terror-supporting authoritarian regime.

According to the Deutsche Welle, the Qatari investment fund Mayhoola owns the Italian luxury brand Valentino and Emerge, a fashion charity. It also owns the premier French soccer club, Paris Saint-Germain. Qatar owns the French department store chain Printemps, in addition to numerous luxury hotels in London, including the Ritz and Claridge. Other Qatari assets include the clothing labels Balmain and Pal Zileri. It is also heavily invested in German corporations such as Siemens, Volkswagen, Porsche and Deutsche Bank. It also has a stake in London’s Heathrow Airport, Barclay’s Bank and the Sainsbury supermarket chain in the United Kingdom.

The Qatari regime utilizes its controlled news outlet Al-Jazeera (in English and Arabic) to defame Israel, as well as to promote Hamas and other Muslim Brotherhood-affiliated terror groups. Al-Jazeera employed Hamas terrorists who perpetrated the massacre of Israeli civilians on October 7, 2023, and coordinated efforts with Hamas to reshape the October 7 narrative.

Another method by which the Qataris further their influence is by contributing to major American universities and purchasing academic chairs. Huge contributions to top schools like Harvard, Columbia and Cornell rob students of academic free thinking by following an Islamist-inspired imprint in social sciences and the humanities.

Concurrently, student groups such as American Muslims for Palestine and Students for Justice in Palestine receive enormous funding from Qatar enabling them to coordinate massive anti-Israel and anti-Jewish protests and encampments, such as those at Columbia University and other US campuses.

Qatari subversion of American education isn’t limited to universities, they have branched out to high schools. On January 27, Qatar Foundation International sponsored a continuing education event titled “Middle East 101” for public school teachers in Phoenix, hosted by the Arizona Department of Education. And that’s not surprising given that the Qatar Foundation International has donated more than US $450,000 to Arizona public schools and more than US $30 million to public schools nationwide. Teachers got a large helping of Islamist propaganda, all designed to influence US schoolchildren and advance Qatari foreign policy.

Qatar, located on the northeastern coast of the Arabian Peninsula and along the Persian Gulf, has a population of about 3 million people. Only a third are native Arab Qataris; the rest are mostly foreign workers who are held in conditions of slavery. In fact, during the construction of the 2022 World Cup facilities there, more than 6,500 migrant workers from India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka died in Qatar.

The Qataris are playing a sinister, two-faced game with the Americans and Europeans. While investing in large American and European enterprises, they are also funding terror against Israel and the West.

Large reserves of gas and oil have elevated Qatar to one of the wealthiest nations in the world with a per capita income of US $114,210, making it the fourth-highest per capita income state among the nations. The Gulf state, however, has used its wealth in nefarious ways by creating a global network that supports the Muslim Brotherhood’s aim of making the world the domain of Islam.

Yet this small Arab emirate was embraced by the Biden administration as a major non-NATO ally. In January 2022, then-President Joe Biden characterized Qatar as “a good friend, and a reliable and capable partner.”

The country Biden called a “friend” and a “reliable partner” would like nothing better than to subvert American liberties and replace our constitution with Sharia law. Moreover, Qatar’s human-rights record is atrocious. Homosexual relations in Qatar can be punished by death. Flogging and stoning are parts of the Qatari criminal code. Foreign workers in Qatar can be denied permission to leave the country and, these workers, are not allowed to change employers. Female workers can be raped by their Qatari employers with impunity.

The Trump administration and Congress must take decisive action against the Qataris by demanding full disclosure of all monies received from Qatar by universities and businesses. Universities that continue to allow the funding of violent hate groups, such as Students for Justice in Palestine, must be denied federal funds and prosecuted. Qatari invasion of American high schools with their anti-Israel and anti-Western propaganda must be immediately stopped.

Qatar is not a neutral intermediary in the hostage negotiations with Hamas; it does its bidding. Qatar is neither a friend nor an ally of the United States or the West. It is a dangerous Islamist propaganda machine that uses the soft power of cash to subvert American institutions on behalf of Islamic triumphalism.
