WHY
QATAR WANTS “TO MAKE FRIENDS” WITH RUSSIA
As it has been reported, the
leaders of the International Union of Muslim Scholars drafted an open letter,
stating that they “share a positive attitude towards the RUSSIAN Federation,
which supports the ARABS and MUSLIMS today.”
Moreover, the letter states that
if any decision is to be made in relation to the RUSSIAN Federation, those
making the decision must first consult RUSSIA’S Islamic theologians. The letter
is truly unique, in fact, it says that the International Union of Muslim
Scholars supports the actions of the RUSSIAN authorities in SYRIA.
If there is
at least a couple of sincere words in this letter, then means a lot, especially
if one is to remember that the headquarters of this organization are located in
DOHA – the capital of QATAR, a WAHHABI state. Moreover, the letter states that
the fate of BASHAR AL-ASSAD should be decided by the SYRIAN people themselves.

INTERNATIONAL
UNION OF MUSLIM SCHOLARS INFLUENCE REACHES INTO NORTHER CAUCASUS AND VOLGA
REGIONS
It would be an understatement to
say that it’s an unusual step, since this International Union is one of the
most influential and authoritative Muslim organization in the world that brings
together SUNNI MUSLIMS, SHIA MUSLIMS, and even IBADI MUSLIM, that are generally
residing in OMAN. There’s at least 90 thousands of prominent Muslim scholars to
be found in the ranks of this Union, including more than 40 of the most
authoritative RUSSIAN theologians – those are muftis and rectors of the Islamic
institutions of the NORTH CAUCASUS and VOLGA regions. So, it’s a truly
influential organization.
INTERNATIONAL
UNION OF MUSLIM SCHOLARS TIES TO THE MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD
But one thing should be
remembered all along – the president of the International Union of Muslim
Scholars is YUSUF AL-QARADAWI, and he’s the spiritual and ideological leader of
the MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD, which remain the largest association of radical
Islamists in the whole world. In 1963 the then president of EGYPT GAMAL ABDEL
NASSER expelled YUSUF AL-QARADAWI from EGYPT for attempts to undermine the
ruling regime. But the radical scholar wasn’t wondering the world for long,
since he found refuge in QATAR – the WAHHABI emirate.

BROTHERHOOD
GURU YUSUF AL-QARADAWI’S
YUSUF AL-QARADAWI was the
spiritual leader and the ideological mastermind of all the Arab “revolutions” –
EGYPTIAN, LIBYAN, SYRIAN and YEMENI. It was he, together with the former Prime
Minister of QATAR HAMAD BIN JASSIM, to organize in 2011 an assault on the RUSSIAN
ambassador to DOHA, since RUSSIA’S envoy exposed his vicious policies of
encouraging the Arab revolutions.
Largely due QARADAWI’S influence
on the former emir of QATAR, that now has been surpassed by the influence he
has on the sitting Emir TAMIM BIN HAMAD AL THANI, DOHA has been fomenting and
financing the wave of the ARAB “Springs” and, despite all the recent changes in
the situation in SYRIA, it continues supporting the terrorist group that goes
under the name JABHAT AL-NUSRA. What is
curious is that after RUSSIAN intervention in SYRIA SHEIKH YUSUF urged MUSLIMS
around the world to wage a “JIHAD” against RUSSIA, and now we witness a
complete reversal of his policies.
QATARI
TRACE IN THE TERRORIST ATTACK AGAINST THE RUSSIAN AIRCRAFT OVER SINAI
Many analysts have immediately
noted that we are witnessing an incredibly positive phenomenon, almost a
complete change QARADAWI’S mentality. But is there any change at all? It’s
obvious that a leopard cannot change its spots.
The question is what lies behind
this step? The answer is pretty simple – the State of QATAR has finally
understood that the retribution for its ongoing support of international
terrorism is inevitable. It’s been clear all along that there’s a QATARI trace
in the terrorist attack against the RUSSIAN aircraft over SINAI, that claimed
the lives of 224. Even if QATARI security services were not planning this
attack, in any case, it was carried out by the groups that have been sponsored
by QATAR.
This may lead to sanctions against the WAHHABI state, since the
financial support of terrorism is a direct violation of a number of UN
conventions. And then, the terrorist attack over SINAI was followed by the
attack on FRANCE, which resulted in 132 people being killed. There’s a growing
number of calls being voiced across the world to establish an international
tribunal to prosecute ISIL and its sponsors, and QATAR and SAUDI ARABIA have
been pretty active in the support they provided to those.
QATARI
INSURANCE POLICY
It was not a coincidence that on
November 18 RUSSIA’S President VLADIMIR PUTIN signed a decree, according to
which a special commission is going to be assembled to collect information
about individuals and groups that have been supporting international
terrorists. Moreover, this commission will have the right to demand this
information from authorities of foreign countries. All funds and property that
such individuals or groups have been using to assist terrorists will thereby be
arrested.
Therefore, the ruling QATARI
family decided to get itself some form of worst-case scenario insurance,
staring with pushing QARADAWI to draft a letter in support of RUSSIA and its
actions. This letter will soon be followed by attempts to show MOSCOW that QATAR
shares “a deep understanding” of RUSSIA’S position on SYRIA. After all, if the
leaders of ISIL, JABHAT AL-NUSRA, JAISH AL-FATH, and JAISH AL-ISLAM are going
to be caught and brought to justice, they can testify against the countries and
organizations that were directly involved in sponsoring crimes against SYRIA,
IRAQ, FRANCE, and RUSSIAN. And then a long list of QATARI officials and
prominent scholars will inevitably be tried and sentenced.

There’s only one problem: in
addition to QATAR and SAUDI ARABIA, which, in principle, are not hard to
punish, there’s countries like the US, UK, TURKEY, JORDAN and others that
supported terrorists too. Some US senators, including JOHN MCCAIN met with the
leaders of radical groups personally. The CIA and the Pentagon have been
supplying them with weapons and trained their militants to create an “opposition”
to the elected SYRIAN government. TURKEY and JORDAN provided their territory to
deploy training camps, while allowing weapons and terrorists to flow into SYRIA
across their territories. But there’s no prosecution of the UNITED STATES officials
due to the fact we are talking about one of the two major nuclear powers in the
world. ENGLAND will be protected from prosecution by WASHINGTON, since it’s a
permanent member of the UN Security, while TURKEY and SAUDI ARABIA play a
“special” role in WASHINGTON’S policies. But nothing prevents AMERICAN officials
from throwing a dwarf emirate under the bus. The ruling dynasty will simply be
replaced by a republican system of government in the process of
“democratization” of the MIDDLE EAST.
ONCE
AGAIN – IT’S THE ENERGY EQUATION
There’s no scenario in which MOSCOW
should believe that QATAR may change its ways. The emirate maintains its
support of ISIL and other terrorist groups in SYRIA and IRAQ, and wages an
economic war against RUSSIA’S interests buy flooding EUROPEAN markets with its
cheap LNG supplies. On top of all, the investigation in the downing of the RUSSIAN
Airbus in EGYPT should establish who really was behind it.

QATAR
AT ODDS WITH RUSSIA OVER ITS STANCE ON SYRIA? OR IS IT ABOUT DOMINATING THE GAS

DOHA – was and is opposed to the RUSSIAN
Federation, and will remain so until it stands trial for the crimes allegedly committed
against RUSSIA, including the sponsoring of the terrorist uprising in CHECHNYA
20 years ago.
If WESTERN countries are to
prevent QATAR from being prosecuted, should its involvement in the downing of RUSSIA’S
Airbus be established, MOSCOW can proceed with responding, in accordance with
Article 51 of the UN Charter, that grants the right to self-defense in case of
“an act of war” being committed.
