posted by Christopher W. Holton Recently the Free Beacon ran a report summarizing the influence operations being run by Qatar here in the U.S. Those influence operations are generated largely thanks to massive amounts of money… “The reason they’re so helpful in counter-terror operations is because they know all the terrorists because they fund them,” […]
A leaked report allegedly produced by the Tunisian Commission for Financial Analysis (CTAF) reveals an investigation into a prominent leader of Islamic Relief – the international Islamist charitable network founded in the U.K. and named by the United Arab Emirates as a terrorist organization – over concerns that monies given to Islamic Relief’s Tunisian branch […]
posted by Christopher Holton Saudi Arabia, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain accuse Qatar of financing “extremist” groups, including the Muslim Brotherhood. The four nations sent Qatar a list of 59 individuals and 12 institutions that allegedly finance terrorism and receive support from Qatar. Among the most prominent names on the list is Abdul […]
posted by Christopher W Holton Though he continued to use contrived, tortured language in his description of the threat, National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster finally woke up this week and realized that the threat from Jihad (a word he did NOT use) extends way beyond–geographically and literally–ISIS and Al Qaeda. Speaking at a conference in […]

by Christopher W. Holton We had to think long and hard about linking to this article. The author maintains that the Muslim Brotherhood should not be designated a terrorist organization, which is totally wrong in our view, especially given the fact that HAMAS is in fact the Muslim Brotherhood in Israel and Palestinian areas. That […]

posted by Christopher W. Holton Qatar is certainly isolated due to its support for the Islamic State and the Muslim Brotherhood, in addition to its cozy ties with the Ayatollahs in Iran. The economic warfare has begun, with the United Arab Emirates firing the opening salvoes… A move by four Arab states to blacklist dozens […]
Financial Pressure Builds on Qatar
posted by Christopher W. Holton Qatar has come under intense pressure from its Sunni Gulf neighbors for its close ties to Iran, support for the Muslim Brotherhood and funding by wealthy Qataris of the Islamic State. Now that pressure is extending outside of the Persian Gulf region… France’s justice minister Francois Bayrou has said France […]
UAE Media Fingers Qataris for Funding Al Qaeda
posted by Christopher W. Holton Al Arabiya is a major news organization out of the United Arab Emirates. It has also become a player in the isolation of Qatar engineered by Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Bahrain. (Qatar deserves the isolation.) Al Arabiya has taken the unusual step of naming wealthy Qataris who it says […]
posted by Christopher W. Holton Multiple reports indicate that the Clinton Foundation has raked in a cool $100 million in donations from Sheikhs and despots from the Islamic world, particularly from the Persian Gulf region. Much of this money came in while Hillary Clinton was Secretary of State, suggesting the real possibility of a worrying […]
Pramerica Real Estate Investors has decided to team up with Qatar’s QInvest to establish a Shariah-compliant real estate fund. For some time we have covered Qatar’s troubling ties to terrorism… https://shariahfinancewatch.org/category/qatar/ Now Qatar, which backs the Muslim Brotherhood and has a shoddy record in counterterrorism cooperation, particularly countering terrorism financing, is teaming up more and […]
Though authorities indicate that there is no evidence that this money was terror-related, there surely seems to be a great deal to be concerned about here. A Yemeni flying to Qatar, which is without a doubt one of the world’s major conduits for funding of Jihadist terrorism, with cash hidden in soap boxes and the […]
SFW has extensively covered Qatar’s role in funding Jihad. At least one country appears to be taking steps to limit Qatar’s influence over mosques within its borders… The French government has announced a series of measures to clamp down on radical Islam being spread in mosques, and wants to cut financial support from countries like […]
Report: Qatar, Turkey Fund Muslim Brotherhood in Libya, Sudan
Oilprice.com has an interesting report that indicates that, despite a public relations campaign meant to convince the world that they have ended their support for Jihad, Qatar continues to fund the Muslim Brotherhood–and does so in cooperation with NATO member Turkey… Qatar, in fact, has reinforced its strategic position of support for the Muslim Brotherhood […]
A report released this week demonstrates how Qatar plays a double game with the West – funding terrorist groups throughout the region while acting like an ally and responsible player on the world stage.The report, “Qatar and Terror Finance: Negligence,” is the first in a three-part series by The Foundation for Defense of Democracies and […]
By now readers have no doubt heard that Interpol has issued an arrest warrant for Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi. It is worth pointing out that Qaradawi was a driving force behind the early expansion of Shariah Compliant Finance and sits on the Shariah advisory boards of some of the world’s largest Shariah financial institutions, including the […]
With its financial muscle the Arab nation has become a major player on the global stage. And nowhere has the impact of that power been felt more keenly than in Britain. Qatar might be only the size of Belgium with a population a quarter of London’s but its colossal economic strength has enabled it to […]
For years SFW has reported on Qatari support for Jihad and the country’s dismal record of cooperation on counterterrorism and terror financing enforcement.

Britain Sanctions Qatari Terror Financier
One of the world’s most prolific terrorist financiers Abd al-Rahman bin Umayr al-Nuaymi has been banned from doing business in Britain — 10 months after he was hit with sanctions by the United States.

Qatari Government Official Sanctioned for Funding Al Qaeda
An al-Qaeda money man was employed by the Qatari government despite being officially designated a terrorist by the US. Salim Hasan Khalifa Rashid al-Kuwari channelled hundreds of thousands of dollars to al-Qaeda through a terrorist network while working in the Gulf state’s Ministry of Interior. As a result, al-Kuwari is on a US terror sanctions list. […]
It was exposed by Wikileaks, which clearly showed that funds from Qatar were transferred to al-Qaida. Qatar also funds the terrorist movements opposing the Assad regime in Syria, such as the Al-Nusra Front, encourages anti-Egyptian terrorism in the Sinai Peninsula and within Egypt itself, and is involved in Islamic terrorism in Africa and other locations. […]
The US Chamber of Commerce has long been a nefarious organization when it comes to national security. It fought vigorously against sanctions on the terror-sponsoring Islamic Republic of Iran and fought just as vigorously against the state-level Iran divestment campaign. More recently, the US Chamber of Commerce’s efforts to prevent sane border security and security-based […]
The Investigative Project on Terrorism has a terrific new series on the influence of Qatar on the Brookings Institution think tank.

The Islamic State That Kuwait and Qatar Built
The Gulf states of Kuwait and Qatar have actively – and openly – helped terrorist money-raising efforts for the Islamic State. …the West has belatedly realised that some of its supposed friends in the Gulf have been playing the disloyalty card. Had Kuwait not been freed by American, British and allied troops in 1991, it […]
Islamic State Funded By Oil
We actually think the numbers quoted in this article are about a third of the true revenue that the Islamic State garners from oil and the author completely misreads the role of funding from wealthy Muslims in Qatar, Saudi Arabia and other Gulf States, but the article is still worth a look… ISIS reportedly has […]
Over the years here on SFW, we have detailed Qatar’s nefarious activities in financial support of Jihad: https://shariahfinancewatch.org/category/qatar/ Now, Qatar’s two-faced game of playing both ends against the middle is starting to get noticed by the mainstream financial media as well. What we are seeing with Qatar, in fact, is an entire nation practicing the […]
Are Politics Stalling the War on Terrorism Financing?
We would maintain that the active denial of the true nature of Shariah and Shariah-compliant finance has meant that the war on terrorism financing has never been properly waged to begin with, but nevertheless, the article below from the Journal of International Security Affairs is well worth a look. … it is obvious that the war […]
