Bahrain, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and Yemen Cut ties with Qatar

Add Yemen to this and apparently air and land borders have been closed. Qatari citizens in those named states have been told they have three weeks to get out.

In Qatar you could be on the road to that famous mall with the roller coaster in it (whatever the fuck its called) and look into the other lane and see an SUV with Taliban flags streaming at the front end of the vehicle on both sides. They (Talibs and other VEOs) vacation in Qatar.

One thing is for certain - no terrorist or extremist ever fucks around in a wealthy Arab nation. The shit that would happen to you and your family would make Saddam look like a tickle-specialist.

That's Villagio in Doha. The wife's been there.

Happy Ramadan! We're all brothers...FFS. :-"

Mossad has been taking advantage of inter-Arab bickering, Muslim sect schisms and terrorist group disharmony for 70 years. Israel owes its existence to those disconnects. And it's been a fact of life since before The Prophet of God took his first crap in the desert.

May it continue always. :thumbsup:
 
I imagine its easier to identify state sponsors of Sunni VEOs (Qatar) than it is to identify private sponsors.

Any idea which Arab state has the largest amount of private donations flowing from citizens to jihadist groups? Any way to quantify private financial support vs. state sponsored financial support in terms of percentages?

I know these are questions that the most proficient intelligence agencies probably struggle with but just wanted to see what this community has to say.
 
This is awesome. Kind of a "screw you" and to show the world that they really want to resolve the issue. I love it.

Qatar's neighbors issue steep list of demands to end crisis

WASHINGTON (AP) — Saudi Arabia and other Arab countries that have cut ties to Qatar issued a steep list of demands Thursday to end the crisis, insisting that their Persian Gulf neighbor shutter Al-Jazeera, cut back diplomatic ties to Iran and sever all ties with the Muslim Brotherhood.

In a 13-point list — presented to the Qataris by Kuwait, which is helping mediate the crisis — the countries also demand an end to Turkey’s military presence in Qatar. The Associated Press obtained a copy of the list in Arabic from one of the countries involved in the dispute.

They are also demanding that Qatar hand over all individuals who are wanted by those four countries for terrorism; stop funding any extremist entities that are designated as terrorist groups by the U.S.

The Iran provisions in the document say Qatar must shut down diplomatic posts in Iran, kick out from Qatar any members of Iran’s elite Revolutionary Guard, and only conduct trade and commerce with Iran that complies with U.S. sanctions.

The bold emphasis is mine. I love tying the demands to US-determined lists. I agree with the US designations and sanctions, but I find it interesting that's part of the deal to end the crisis. The paranoid will view this as US meddling rather than a benchmark supported by their fellow Muslims.

It is almost like they are picking a fight with Qatar and/or Iran.

1) Get tired of someone's shit
2) Make provocative moves/statements
3) Produce ridiculous list of demands you know they can never meet
4) Act offended and react with violence when demands not met
5) Profit
