Spendengelder für Terroristen: Wen Katar finanziell unterstützt | NZZ
Es gibt kaum einen Konflikt im Nahen Osten, in dem die Herren in Doha nicht mitmischen. Geld aus Katar hat Revolutionäre und Freischärler unterstützt, aber auch Terroristen. So ganz allein war das reiche Golfemirat damit allerdings nicht.

The surging fundamentalism that is transforming Indonesia teaches several lessons. First is one that we should already have learned, about the nature of the Saudi government. It is an absolute monarchy supported by one of the world’s most reactionary religious sects. It gives clerics large sums to promote their anti-Western, anti-Christian, anti-Semitic brand of religious militancy abroad. In exchange, the clerics refrain from criticizing the Saudi monarchy or its thousands of high-living princes. Saudis with close ties to the ruling family give crucial support to groups like Al Qaeda, the Taliban, and ISIS. This fact should be at the front of our minds whenever we consider our policy toward the Middle East — including when we decide whether to side with the Saudis in their new dispute with neighboring Qatar.
