Qatar, our ally in the War on Terror, is a really indispensable ally not only to us, but to Al Qaeda and Iran.
The terror state, which controls Al Jazeera, promised to crack down on terrorism. Its interpretation of "cracking down"may be a little different than ours.
More than a week after a Kuwait meeting where Gulf states and the US were promised by Qatari officials that new names would be added to Doha’s terror list, one of the inclusions was limbering up for the annual Doha triathlon.
The list of 19 Qataris and others classified as terrorists included the name Mubarak Al Ajji...
Those on the list appear to be moving freely in Qatar and, as in the case of Al Ajji, remain active in government-sponsored events or social media.
Al Ajji had a podium finish in the national championship section of the triathlon on March 16. His silver medal was prominently reported by Qatari media last week...
The triathlon was sponsored by the Qatar Tourism Authority, Discover Qatar and Qatar Museums.
Discover Qatar... and die. Here's some background on the case.
One such donor was the young Kuwaiti Salafi cleric Hajjaj al-Ajmi, who on Aug. 6 was designated by the U.S. Treasury Department as a funder of terrorism for backing al-Nusra Front. Ajmi runs the so-called People’s Commission for the Support of the Syrian Revolution, many of whose campaign posters on Twitter spoke of charity work — giving food or medicine to the needy and displaced. But back in June 2012, Qatar’s Ministry of Endowments and Islamic Affairs invited the cleric to speak in the coastal city of Al Khor, 30 miles outside Doha, where he argued that humanitarian support alone would never topple the Syrian regime.
“Did you know that bringing down Damascus would not cost more than $10 million?” he intoned, wagging his fingers from his chair in front of the old Syrian flag adopted by revolutionaries. “The priority is the support for the jihadists and arming them.”
In the months that followed, many of Ajmi’s campaigns in Kuwait ran parallel collections in Qatar. Donations could be placed through a representative named Mubarak al-Ajji, according to campaign posters, which affirm he is under Ajmi’s “supervision.” Ajji’s Twitter bio describes him as loving Sunni jihadists who hate “Shiites and infidels.” His timeline is flush with praise for Osama bin Laden.
The al-Nusra Front is Al Qaeda. And Qatar and Al-Qaeda have quite a history together. So it's no surprise that this fellow is winning medals.
Mubarak al-Ajji has used social media to encourage support for Usama bin Laden and al-Qaida, and endorse the 9/11 attacks against the United States. In August 2013, Mubarak al-Ajji published a statement from an al-Qaida aligned commander in Syria thanking Hajjaj al-Ajmi’s Qatari donors for their funding of Syrian jihadists.
In September 2013, Mubarak al-Ajji traveled to Syria with designated al-Qaida financier Hajjaj al-Ajmi. Upon his return to Qatar, Mubarak al-Ajji joined the Qatari Armed Forces’ national service program. In 2012, at the invitation of an official in the Qatari Ministry of Endowments (Awqaf), Hajjaj al-Ajmi traveled to Qatar where he called for jihad in Syria.
Mubarak al-Ajji organized meetings for Hajjaj al-Ajmi with Qatari donors, including Qatari government official Meshaal bin Ali Mohammed al-Attiyah, a relative of Qatar’s former Foreign Minister and current Minister of State for Defense.
As of 2015, Mubarak al-Ajji was identified as an official in the Doha-based Rowad Educational Center for children, which has hosted lectures by sanctioned al-Qaida facilitators and extremists, including Hajjaj al-Ajmi and Wagdy Ghoneim.
Every time you hear about Al Jazeera, remember it's the state propaganda channel of a terror state.
