Hajj controversy widens row between Saudi Arabia & Qatar

The fall - out between the Saudi-led Sunni Muslim block and Qatar, which we have reported on in recent weeks, reportedly escalated over the weekend, with the government of Quatar protesting to the UN over the Saudis preventing its citizens flying to Mecca, and the Saudi monarchy threatening "war" over what it call a bid to “internationalize the holy sites” in Mecca and Medina. 
 
Following a meeting Sunday of the so-called Anti-Terror Quartet (ATQ) of Arab states (all of which are known to have links with ISIS and Al Qaeda,) involved in a conflict with Qatar caused by the somewhat risible claim that Qatar sponsors terrorism (words like pot, kettle, black spring to mind,) Saudi foreign minister Adel al-Jubeir attacked the neighbouring state, accusing it of politicizing the Hajj – the pilgrimage to Mecca that every Muslim is required to perform at least once in their lifetime.

“Qatar's request to internationalize the holy sites is an aggressive act and a declaration of war against the kingdom,” al-Jubeir told the Al Arabiya channel, adding, that Saudi Arabia “reserve the right to respond to any party” promoting such demands.

It was not immediately clear when such a move was suggested, as the government of Qatar has not made any demand that Islam's two holiest sites be placed under international oversight. Al-Arabiya reported that Qatari media raised the idea in response to the Saudi's new rules for Qataris travelling to Mecca and the air blockade on Doha.

On Saturday, Qatar’s National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) lodged a complaint with the UN Special Rapporteur on freedom of belief and religion over what it called a “stark violation of international law and agreements that guarantee the right to worship.”

Qatar Balks At Saudi Ultimatum That Would Force It To Surrender Sovereignty

Immediately after Saudi Arabia and its Gulf State client shiekdoms released an ultimatum containing 13 demands to which Qatar must agree as a precondition for the resumption of diplomatic ties and an end of the Saudi economic and naval blockade, the tiny kingdom on the Persian Gulf described the ultimatum as neither "reasonable" nor "realistic", and claimed it woul infringe on Qatar's sovereignty. 

“This list of demands confirms what Qatar has said from the beginning – the illegal blockade has nothing to do with combating terrorism, it is about limiting Qatar’s sovereignty, and outsourcing our foreign policy” said  Sheikh Saif Al Thani, of Qatar’s official communications office, according to Bloomberg.

The full list contained demands  such as reducing Qatar's diplomatic representation in Iran, cancelling theTurkish military base being established there (Turkey has already balked at the threat), severing ties with terrorist organizations, shutting down Al Jazeera and all affiliated channels, and so on. The demands are explicitly aimed at dismantling Qatar's two-decade-old interventionist foreign policy, which has reflected the clout generated by its vast natural gas and oil wealth but incensed conservative Arab peers over its alleged support for extremist groups they regard as threats to their dynastic rule.

Al Thani dismissed the demands and said the list is "under review", but only “out of respect for our brothers in Kuwait” whose emissary delivered the Saudi demands on Friday (22 June). Al Thani said that the demands do not meet the US and UK criteria for “reasonable and realistic measures.”

Meanwhile Qatar’s Foreign Ministry said it will soon issue an official response, one which we doubt Saudi Arabia will like as the bid/ask in the early stage of the negotiations is being established. 

“The State of Qatar is currently studying this paper, the demands contained therein and the foundations on which they were based, in order to prepare an appropriate response,” the ministry told Channel News Asia.

On Friday, Qatar's news outlet Al Jazeera responded to Saudi demands that it be shut down as part of the "renormalization" process. “We in the network believe that any call for closing down Al Jazeera is nothing but an attempt to silence the freedom of expression in the region and to suppress people's right to information,” Al Jazeera said in a statement.

“By accepting those demands and conditions Qatar will be subject to international accountability and violating its commitments regarding human rights conventions,” Qatar's National Human Rights Committee said in a statement cited by Reuters.

Meanwhile, a senior United Arab Emirates official told Reuters what would happen if Qatar refused to comply with the Arab ultimatum, saying there would be a "parting of ways."

"The alternative is not escalation, the alternative is parting of ways, because it is very difficult for us to maintain a collective grouping," UAE Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Anwar Gargash told reporters.

Gargash urged Qatar to meet the demands. “It would be wiser that [Qatar] deal seriously with the demands and concerns of the neighbors or a divorce will take place,” Anwar Gargash said on Twitter in Arabic, adding, that “the crisis is profound.”



UAE Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Anwar Gargash

In other words, another attempt at a backdoor deal orchestrated by Saudi Arabia failed because someone leaked something, only this time it didn't involve Trump being a KGB secret agent.
Gargash said that if Qatar fails to comply within the 10-day timeline set out in the ultimatum, it will be isolated. But he did not make clear what more could be done since the four Arab nations have already cut diplomatic relations with Doha and severed most commercial ties.
Despite verbal assurances that there will be no further escalation, Qatar is preparing for the worst, as two contingents of Turkish troops with columns of armored vehicles have arrived in Doha since the worst crisis among Gulf Arab states for years erupted on June 5.

The uncompromising positions adopted by both sides leave little prospect for a quick end to the crisis. The sanctions have disrupted Qatar's main import routes by land from Saudi Arabia and by sea from big container ships docked in the United Arab Emirates. But Qatar so far has avoided economic collapse by quickly finding alternative channels (mainly through Iran which made the saudis even more pissed off) and says its huge financial reserves will meet any challenges.

Qatar Close To Running Out Of Dollars?

Let's be honest, the Saudi-led campaign to starve Qatar's citizens of food and businesses of trade was doomed from the start, while the Saudi's my feel they can rely on big bully boy best mate the USA to deter anybody thinking of helping Qatar, with both Turkey and Iran volunteering to provide food and other essentials to the tiny Gulf nation while local entrepreneurs have started a cow paradropping campaign to beat the blockade on milk imports,  the key factor is what will Russia's President Putin do.

Putin has little time for the Saudis, is fed up of American meddling in the middle east, and is a strong ally of both Iran, the real target of the Saudi move against Qatar, and of Syria's President Assad. And Putin is well aware of the role the USA and Saudi Arabia have played in sponsoring the iSIS / Al Nusra war in Syria. In fact, right up to the end of his failed presidency Barack Hussein Obama was telling the world America's priority in Syria was not to defeat the terrorists of ISIS but to remove Assad and open the way for the Saudis to install a Muslim theocracy that would support its own extreme version of Islam.

A new problem has now emerged in Qatar, the world's biggest source of natural gas: the financial system is running out of dollars. Bloomberg reports that several Qatari banks have boosted interest rates on dollar deposits to shore up liquidity as the Saudi-led campaign to isolate the gas-rich state intensifies.
  
Adding to concerns of a monetary blockade, Bloomberg also reports that some banks in neighboring countries have been offloading investments in Qatar amid concerns of a widening of the blockade.

Qatar is the world's wealthiest nation on a GDP/capita basis and is well able to withstand a prolonged financial siege, and defend its currency and economy. Finance Minister Ali Shareef Al Emadi  played down the impact of the crisis on the country, in an interview with CNBC on Sunday (11 June) saying the plunge in Qatari assets last week was a “normal” reaction to the standoff.

Finally, the question nobody dares ask out loud is, "Where does Russian president Vladimir Puting stand on all this. Well aware of the US role in this latest crisis and the real reasons behind it (reported HERE and HERE) Puting has said the US has “got a false sense that it is able to do everything without any consequences,” in particular after the Soviet Union’s collapse.

“In such a situation, a man or a country begins to make mistakes… Putin said. The state begins to function ineffectively. One mistake follows another. That is the trap in which, as I believe, the United States got caught into,” Putin reflected during a press conference.

"I believe that if you think you are the only world power, trying to impose on the whole nation the idea of their exclusiveness, this creates an imperialistic mentality in society, which in turn requires an adequate foreign policy expected by society. And the country's leaders are forced to follow this logic. And in practice this might go contrary to the interest of the Americans.... It demonstrates it's impossible to control everything."



 

Which some might interpret as a warning to the USA to stay out of the middle east and mind its own business.

Saudi Arabia Bids For Islamic Globalisation



A couple of weeks ago, soon after the suicide bomb at The Manchester Arena which killed 22 people and injured over a hundred, I felt oblighed to defriend someone on facebook, whom I have known online for around ten years. It saddened me to do such a thing because I am a tolerant person, having always been willing to allow people their own views and opinions no matter how strongly I disagree. So what did this sweet, seventy something lady, who writes books on medieval witchcraft and calls herself a pagan, do to piss me off?

She showed herself to be a hypocrite and a phoney by posting a whinge about people reacting with anger and hate to this latest atrocity, calling them bigots and claiming, "I'm all about compassion, I will not stand by and see Muslims victimised because of this." When people started to remind her that all the recent atrocities in britain, France, Belgium, Germany, Sweden and elsewhere have been committed by Muslims and people have a right to be angry and demand action from the authorities she became very self righteous.

I told her the attitude of trying to equate the anger of British people with the terrorist acts of certain groups of Muslims who randomly attack and kill innocent people was not acceptable and she accused me of being racist. Now I am sure most British people understand that only a few Muslims living in Britain are extremists. And while I was angry I understood anger aimed at ' Muslims' in general was futile, my anger was directed at the authorities, so brainwashed with the idiocies of politically correct thinking they have repeatedly failed to act, against terrorists, hate preachers, organised sex abusers, illegal immigrant racketeers and electoral fraud for fear of inciting racial conflict. Yes it is time to get good and angry and remingd our leader white people, native Europeans and European Americans have rights too.

But then, when it comes to directing anger I have an advantage over most people, having access to news feeds where I see the stories mainstream media will not go near. Take the latest middle east trouble spot, Qatar, where the government of Saudi Arabia, accusing the Qataris of supporting terrorism, has organised a blockade of all road, sea and air routes in and out of the tiny nation on the coast of the Persian Gulf. What is really going on is reported elsewhere in our publications, but the story really gets interesting when we widen the angle and the bigger picture emerges. Only then do we begin to see what is really going on in the Islamic world.

A few months ago, the governor of Jakarta, Indonesia’s capital city, looked sset for re-election despite the fact that he is a Christian while Indonesia is, in terms of population, the world's biggest Muslim nation. Everything was going swimmingly until someone reported an off-the-cuff and less than deferential remark the governor made about the Koran. In tolerant, easy going Indonesia multitudes of angry Muslims took to the streets to denounce the blaspheming infidel. He lost the election, was arrested, charged with blasphemy, and sentenced to two years in prison.

This episode is especially alarming because Indonesian Islam, like most belief systems on that vast nation made up of thousands of islands, is generally gentle, and open-minded. The rapid fall of Jakarta’s governor is the opposite of what people in the geopolitical region would expect: Times of India was stunned, Asia Times of Hong Kong shocked and concerned. The intolerance, sectarian hatred, and contempt for democracy we have seen in Iraq, Syria and throughout the middle east is totally out of character. And yet Islamic fundamentalism is rampant in Indonesia. And guess which medievalist Whahabbi Muslim regime, which still inflicts the death penalty on homosexuals, publicly beheads adulterers, stones or flogs disobedient wives and daughters and holds that a married woman is her husband's chattel is behind this reactionary trend.

Saudi Arabia has been working for decades to undermine Indonesia's secular version Islam and promote the unrelenting puritanism of the Wahhabi sect that is state religion in Saudi Arabia and though less stringently observed inother Gulf States including Qatar. The Saudis have been patient, multi-faceted, and have lavishly financed extremist Mosques in Indonesia, the better to radicalise young Muslims from influential families. It mirrors the campaigns they have waged other countries with Muslim majorities or significant minorities across Asia and Africa.

Successive American presidents have dutifully sucked up to the Saudi Arabian monarchy, knowing the USA's dependency on saudi oil they assured voters that the Saudis were America's friends and were vital to American interests in the middle east. That Osama bin Laden and most of his 9/11 hijackers were Saudis had to be swept under the carpet, as did the diplomatic cable in which Secretary of State Hillary Clinton wrote in 2009, “Donors in Saudi Arabia constitute the most significant source of funding to Sunni terrorist groups worldwide.”

Recent events in Indonesia shine a light on a Saudi project that is even more pernicious than financing terrorists. Saudi Arabia has used its wealth, most of which comes from the United States and European Union, to turn entire nations into hotbeds of radical Islam. By refusing to protest or even officially acknowledge this far-reaching project, we in the democracies of the developed world finance our own enemies and the global terror campaign now being waged.

The center of Saudi Arabia’s efforts to attract Indonesians to Wahhabi Islam is a free university in Jakarta known by the acronym LIPIA. All instruction is in Arabic, given mainly by preachers from Saudi Arabia and nearby countries. Genders are kept segregated; strict dress codes are enforced; and music, television, and 'loud laughter' are forbidden as are all other things considered 'unislamic'. Imams inculcate an ultra-conservative form of Islam that prescribes hand amputation for thieves, stoning for adulterers, and death for gays and blasphemers.

Many students are drawn from the more than 100 boarding schools Saudi Arabia supports in Indonesia, or have attended one of the 150 mosques that Saudis have built there. The most promising are given scholarships to study in Saudi Arabia, from which they return fully prepared to wreak social, political, and religious havoc in their homeland. Some promote terror groups like Hamas Indonesia and the Islamic Defenders Front, which did not exist before the Saudis arrived.

Have US tactics only helped to make ISIS more powerful

We have questioned the US led efforts to defeat ISIS in the middle east many times, pointing out that every time the western alliance steps up opposition to the establishment of a news Islamic Caliphate, Islamic State seem to get stronger. 'Conspiracy Theorists', our critics yell. So let's look at opinion from around the world that concurs with ours.

Secret Pentagon Report Reveals US "Created" ISIS As A "Tool" To Overthrow Syria's President Assad


From the first sudden, and quite dramatic, appearance of the Islamic group known as ISIS on the world's stage and which promptly replaced the worn out and tired al Qaeda as the world's terrorist bogeyman, we suggested that the "straight to beheading YouTube clip" purpose behind the Saudi Arabia-funded Islamic State was a simple one: use the Jihadists as the vehicle of choice to achieve a political goal:
Je Suis Saussice (in defence of your right to eat pork sausages)

Just as we showed solidarity with the publishers of Charlie Hebdo magazine after twelve staff were murdered by religious extremists and defended the right of citizens in democratic nations to criticize religion by saying "Je Suis Charlie" so we are now making a stand in support of the freedom to eat sausages (which is an abomination to Allah apparently,) by saying "Je Suis Saussice".

TTIP - The Anything But Free Trade Agreement

It was almost too late when the world woke up to the realities of the Trans Atlantic Trade And Investment Partnership (TTIP), this so called free trade treaty which really amoints to a licence for corporations to do as they like, was being negotiated in secret between the USA and the EU, with security surrounding it so tight that even our elected represenatives were not allowed to know what it contained. Needless to say what it contained was very nasty and undemocratic.

Yet again the news slowly leaking out of the Trans Atlantic Trade And Investment Partnershi negotiations tess us just why there is so much secrecy surrounding this trade treaty being negotiated between the EU and the USA that even our elected governments are not allowed to know what the final treaty will include. Be afraid, be very afraid.

GermanyForeign Minister Warns Qatar Crisis Could Lead To War As Qatar Asks Moscow For Support

10 June, 2017

German foreign minister Sigmar Gabriel is worried that the blockade of air and sea ports in Qatar by Saudi Arabia and its Muslim extremist allies in the middle east could lead to a new regional war in the Gulf region. In an interview with  Germany's Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung, he said "There is a danger that this dispute could lead to war" This would represent a "dramatic" escalation in tensions between Qatar and neighbouring countries in the Gulf.

Gabriel said personal talks this week with his the foreign ministers of Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Turkey, and phone calls with the foreign ministers of Iran and Kuwait underscored his concerns. "After my talks this week, I know how serious the situation is, but I believe there are also good chances to make progress," he concluded.

Gabriel also referred to a phone conversation with Secretary of State Rex Tillerson on the Gulf situation on Friday and said that Tillerson showed a "very wise and prudent attitude" that has contributed to calming the conflict.

Yet while Tillerson was "calming" the conflict, President Trump appeared to be adding fire to it, when the president accused Qatar of being a "high level" funder of terrorism even as the Pentagon and Tillerson cautioned against the military, commercial and humanitarian effects of a blockade imposed by Arab states and others. Trump is talking bollocks of course, while its true that Qatar does support terrorist activity, both saudi Arabia and the USA are far bigger suppliers of arms, money and expertise to terrorist organisations.

Today Saudi Arabia and Bahrain welcomed Trump's demand for Qatar to stop supporting terrorism, but did not respond to a U.S. Department of State call for them to ease pressure on the tiny but wealthy Gulf state. After severing ties with Qatar on Monday, Saudi Arabia said it was committed to "decisive and swift action to cut off all funding sources for terrorism" in a statement carried by state news agency SPA, attributed to "an official source".

The real cause of the conflict is not Qatar's support for terrorism of course, but its abandonment of support for the US / Saudi pet project of an oil and gas pipeline from The Gulf through Syrian territory to the mediterranean.It seems the Qatari's have grasped the idea that Assad, with support from Iran and Russia, is winning the war against ISIS despite US and Saudi intervention in support of the Islamic extremists.

A separate SPA report on acknowledged Tillerson's call for Qatar to curtail support for terrorism, but did not mention his concession that apart from was hurting ordinary Qataris and impairing business dealings in The Gulf it is also harming the U.S. fight against the Islamic State militant group. Saudi Arabia said its action followed the conclusions of last month's Arab Islamic American Summit in Riyadh, where Trump delivered a speech about Islamic extremism.

Meanwhile the joker in the middle eastern pack, Turkey's President Recep Erdogan vowed to continue supporting Qatar. “Now, there are ones who are bothered because of us being together with our Qatari brothers or sending and exporting food supplies, drugs etc – no matter if they are in hunger or thirst – should excuse us. We will continue to give all our support to Qatar,” Erdogan said at an iftar (fast-breaking meal) with members of his AK Party in Istanbul, quoted by RT.

The Kerfuffle In Qatar Could Turn Into Something Much Nastier

It started round about last weekend I guess, Saudi Arabia and its allies in the Arab world, chiefly the United Arab Emirates, Egypt, Kuwait and Oman suddenly broke of diplomatic relations with the tine but wealthy oil state on the coast of the Persian Gulf. Not only did they break off relations, they closed their posts and airspace to ships trading with Qatar and ships heading to and from its posts. The official reason was that Qatar supports terrorism.

This is really a case of the shit calling the camel smelly as there is no greater sponsor of terrorism than Saudi Arabia, with the exception perhaps of the USA. And The Muslim Brotherhood, those preserver of ancient arts like recreational beheading, honour killings, vaginal mutilation and stoning or flogging women who let a wisp of hair escape from their hijab, are very active in all those countries and when they controlled the government in Egypt a few years ago they implemented a policy of nailing Christians, Jews, atheists and people who were the wrong sort of Muslims to the poles that carry power and telephone lines so that they could work on their tans.

There has been much speculation about the real cause of this ganging up on Qatar, mostly it centres on that country's shift from supporting the idea of a pipeline through Syria to the Mediterranean coast to one that would run through Jordan and Lebanon.

Moon of Alabama has a good analysis.

The Saudis Demand Total Surrender But Qatar Will Not Fold
Moon of Alabama

Many people believe that Qatar will soon give in to recent Saudi demands and threats. I first though so too but have changed my opinion. Qatar will likely hold out way longer than anyone assumes and fight more intensive and much longer than foreseen.

The Saudi "young leader" has now given Qatar 24 hours to submit to 10 demands. These include (unconfirmed) the dismantling of Al Jazeera, breaking off of all diplomatic relations with Iran and (the Israeli demand of) ending all support for the Muslim Brotherhood and especially Hamas. The Saudis threaten with a military invasion.

But Qatar is not like Bahrain where 1,000 Saudi troops could easily take over to save a dictator from a mostly unarmed uprising of its people. It has way more resources and capable allies on its side and recent news shows that it knows how to use them.

Two days ago we extensively described the complex conflict between Qatar and some of its neighbors that has recently been escalating. Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates are the main forces on one side, joined yesterday by Donald Trump but not by the Pentagon. On the other side is Qatar, geographically isolated and seemingly without any real allies even though it hosts a very large U.S. command center and air-base.

The conflict has been simmering for years. Qatar has a strong media arm with Al Jazeera TV and other prominent news outlets. Qatar and its media support the political Islam of the Muslim Brotherhood which won elections in Egypt before being kicked out in a Saudi financed military coup. The ruling Turkish AK Party is a Muslim Brotherhood branch as is Hamas in Palestine. Muslim Brotherhood parties have thereby proven that it's possible to have an Islam(ist) aligned government without a hereditary dictatorship. Their pure existence de-legitimates the al-Saud clan and other dictatorial family enterprises in the wider Middle East.

There is little reason to waste tears on Qatar. It is a small country with only 200,000 original inhabitants but with 2,000,000 expatriates living there too. Thanks to its large natural gas reserves Qatar is ultra rich and has a very modern (but also vulnerable) infrastructure. The country is way more liberal than Saudi Arabia. Its cities are somewhat cosmopolitan.

Unlike in Saudi Arabia women are allowed to drive and other religions than Islam can build their places of worship. But the rulers of Qatar officially follow the same ultraconservative and proselytizing Wahhabi cult as the al-Sauds. They support terrorists of the worst kind in the war against the Syrian people and elsewhere (just as the al-Sauds do).

Obama Deploys 250 Special Forces to Syria: Will They Depose Assad?

President Obama, with the full support of his Sunni Muslim partners in crime Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar, claim to be fighting ISIS yet western journalists on the ground in Syria report the US led campaign is constantly bombing those groups fighting the extremists?

On Monday (25 April,) Barack Obama announced the USA is sending an additional 250 US special operations forces into Syria. This immediately led to speculation that the USA is about to become embroiled in yet another Middle Eastern quagmire.

White House press officers say the deployment of Special Forces is intended to repel Daesh extremists. With no signal of cooperation from the Assad government or the Syrian-Arab Army combating the extremist group, it is difficult to see what difference 250 men would make when Iran already has a large force supporting Assad's army. Independent analysts have therefore questione whether the Obama Administration is trying to defeat ISIS, or still has regime chanhe as its main priority and has sent these troops to depose Assad.

On Tuesday, Loud & Clear’s Brian Becker in a discussion with with political analyst Issa Chaer of the Syrian Solidarity Movement to discuss the fresh deployment, as well as the US’ endgame strategy in Syria five years after the start of the civil war.


This announcement raises a number of questions," says Chaer. "First of all, is there a failure of the present tactic the US has employed to tackle Daesh in Syria? Raising the [total] number from 50 to 300 raises the question of what the existing 50 Special Forces have been doing for years – are they there for surveillance or are they working with groups on the ground?"

Chaer argues that the plan to dispatch additional US Special Forces troops will likely be counterproductive, as the US has not given any indication of collaborating with the groups presently combating Daesh, including the Syrian-Arab Army and Kurdish fighters.

"I think it is a mistake to do, but I think the US is protecting the opposition to the Syrian government to the benefit of Daesh. They are protecting the Saudi, Qatari, and Turkish interests."

Specifically, the Free Syrian Army, which has been fighting against Assad for years, claims that they are now cooperating with the US to fight Daesh. The White House often refers to the Free Syrian Army as ‘moderate’ rebels, suggesting that their participation is critical in the fight against Daesh. In reality many of the videos of beheadings, tirture and guys slicing open the fresh corpses of pro Assad troops and eating the still warm vital organis were carried out by members of this 'moderate' group.

Last week, Washington approved giving anti-aircraft surface-to-air missiles to the rebels, in conjunction with combat efforts in Syria. Notably, Daesh does not have an air force, suggesting that this advanced weaponry lacks any utility in that particular fight. Independent analysts suggest that this weaponry could be used by rebels to undermine Syrian bombing efforts against Daesh.
