Qatar's 21st Century Muslim Brotherhood Strategy
(Jerusalem Center for Security and Foreign Affairs) Tirza Shorr - Despite Qatar's glamorous public image, it hosts and funds terrorists, serving as the Muslim Brotherhood's de facto headquarters. Hassan al-Banna founded the Muslim Brotherhood in March 1928 with the motto: "Allah is our goal. The Prophet is our leader. The Qur'an is our law. Jihad is our way. Death in the service of Allah is our highest desire." Qatar maintains Hamas leadership in luxury Doha accommodations and has destabilized Libya, Syria, and Tunisia through support for MB-aligned factions. Qatar funds Al Jazeera and linked English venues amplifying Islamist narratives globally. The Arab Center Washington (ACW) and Arab Center for Research and Policy Studies in Doha, both Qatar Foundation-funded, provide "a steady stream of 'experts' to editors, media, publications, and speaking occasions in the U.S." Qatar hosts both Hamas and the U.S. military. Al Udeid Air Base houses 8,000 U.S. military personnel - America's largest Middle Eastern installation. The Muslim Brotherhood's unofficial headquarters is now negotiating for America's most advanced weapons, F-35 fighter jets, while hosting a terrorist organization just proscribed by President Trump.
