He should also think whether he wants any part of a religion that has spawned evils such as Al Queda, Boko Haram, Al Shabab, ISIS and Hamas. And a religion that supports FGM and mufa kathtat.

Not BCE. It would be CE in politically correct bollox.

The malaise within the Muslim world that has existed ever since the end of the Golden Age of Islam in the 9th to 12th century BCE, seems set to continue”

Of course, to any rational person if the situation has been the same for around a thousand years that might be telling you something more fundamental about Islam.

Ah yes, smashing Israel (and starting a massive war) will really help. Erm…

Qatar is very similar to other states like, oh, Russia. And there are plenty of former examples, too, in history.

We’re in this situation in the first place because Britain and France whipped up Arab nationalism against the Ottoman Empire. It worked…far too well.

Qataris are looked down upon by the Saudis who despise them for their impurity, and regard them as little better than upstart slaves. The UK stopped a Saudi walk-in takeover in 1966. In the 1990’s there was a Saudi border infraction killing Qatari border guards.

Naturally enough,the Qataris REALLY hate the Saudis. So, they have a modernist branch of their tribal oligarchy sucking up to the Americans who have a nice big base near Al-Jazeera’s HQ. That keeps them safe. And they have their fundamentalists doing their thing on the other side which allows mischief to upset the blasted Arabs who have look down on them.

(As the West ignores rampant racism which does not involve white or black people, you will not see this discussed very often, especially when Arabs and Muslims rattle on about the lack of racism in blah blah blah. – All false. Racism is rampant in the Arab World).

Qatar is a rogue state of a kind we have not seen before. Filthy rich, endemically corrupt and buying itself into the West and the rest of the world in dozens of enterprises.

The Arab world needs a pan-arab revolution to rid itself of these plutocratic gangster terrorists. But that cannot happen because the West destroyed every attempt at Pan-Arabism to protect oil sources and Israel.

So instead we have ISIS which is will foment terrorism in Saudi Arabia and that will please the Qataris.

Fair enough.
Do you agree with the central point though – that Qatar is funding Hamas, Al Qaeda and the MB?
