@al-Hasani
anyone will have a hard time denying the MB and Qatari connection.
taking the Allegation on face value
if we just take it on face value this unholy alliance will backfire and eat up Qatari state
something like our deal with the taliban back few years when they not only broke the deal but also abducted and beheaded soldiers and officials, raped and plundered and terrorised the valley until Pakistani military was given a go ahead to root them out.
I wont go as far as calling MB the kharjites but then again Al Zakawi is a former MB guy isnt he? he is the one who radicalised OBL. I suspect that such agreement wont have been reached unanimously and I wont be surprised if there is a coup or revolt within the ruling elite of the Qatari royalty.
now I am going to advocate this MB alliance and see how you respond
now what does it have to do with Qatari state? keep the dogs away from its state and find them new hunting grounds so that they remain preoccupied there. examples are complaining Iraqi PM who blames not only KSA but Qatar as well for funding and instigating militants.
- MB revival due to Arab spring etc has jolted the ruling structure across the peninsula and examples are many so every monarchy has genuine reasons to be concerned.
- Middle east and Western democracy are absolutely incompatible and replace the predicable and stable monarchies with ravaging hordes of extremist groups that can turn a peaceful country into ruins.
Qatar must maintain a peaceful and non-controversial outlook to keep the upcoming world cup hosting. so its better than it doesnt have any domestic issues like seen in Bahrain, Syria and Egypt for example.
that said
Qatari leadership must have some hidden cards that its not showing. on the face of it, its actions look counter productive and ill thought with very less chances of success and severe consequences. either Qatar is doing all this under the direction of a regional or world power which it thinks can help it out or it has assets put in place in the target countries that can quickly topple the governments or cause the anarchies which will prevent them from responding to Qatar.
but all this for what?
I cant think of much. its food supplies, its trade, its access to the world and its people to people relations are all mainly with the countries it has antagonised recently.
wish there was someone from Qatar who could shed some light
and what about Qrab forums and social media? what are Qatari youth with political interests and foreign relations have to say about all this?
Great post @Irfan Baloch .
Indeed. It's clear as the sun.
Yes, I know the unfortunate relation between the Pakistani state (ISIS and the military mainly) and the Taliban.
Let me just say this. All Jihadists are inspired by Qutbism to a great degree. Including OBL himself. I don't know about Al-Zarqawi but I know that KSA revoked OBL's passport in 1996 and that OBL got inspired by Qutbism as a youngster. OBL was actually half Yemeni and half Syrian but just happened to be born in KSA.
Qutbism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Yes, that's the same feeling I have. When there are disagreements inside the regime that can often be the worst end result. Something similar happened in Egypt and many other places across the world.
The problem with that theory is that Qatar is not an island somewhere in the middle of the Red Sea, Gulf or Arabian Sea or Indian Ocean. It directly borders KSA. It lies in the middle of the Western side of the Gulf. Any such implications will undoubtedly backfire on them.
As I see it the MB is just using naive Qatari support. Should they gain power everywhere, which is very, very unlikely, then Qatar will not be safe. I don't believe that they will leave such an rich country in an oasis of possible future MB states.
Yes, you are right. Something is definitely fishy and I can't exactly pinpoint what it is. It's very strange indeed.
Well, I would love to see an Qatari opinion too. But no Qataris on this forum from what I know off.
Qataris are mostly apolitical from what I know about and just agree with their rulers since they are the most wealthy people in the world on average. Every Qatari national lacks nothing and they have huge, huge houses and are filthy rich. They even dwarf UAE and Kuwaiti nationals so it's bad in this regard.
This would be the best opportunity for Riyadh as US has its hands full with Russia.
Doubtful my friend. KSA is not an aggressive state. Sometimes it should be though.
