Arabs: Why is Obama Siding with Supporters of Terrorism?
gatestoneinstitute.org ^ | February 26, 2015 | Khaled Abu Toameh

Posted on 02/28/2015 1:13:53 PM PST by ilovesarah2012

Many Arabs and Muslims see the meeting between Obama and Qatar's al-Thani as a gift to Qatar for its continued support of Islamic radical groups across the Middle East, including Iraq, Syria, Egypt, Lebanon and the Gaza Strip.

On the eve of Obama's meeting, Egyptian sources revealed that Qatar was providing weapons and ammunition to members of the Islamic State in Libya. The sources said that 35 Qatari aircraft were involved in transferring munitions.

Arab political analysts are also concerned about Obama's ongoing attempts to appease Iran, which continues to expand its presence in Arab countries such as Yemen, Iraq and Lebanon -- as well as in Syria, where it is deeply involved in backing Hezbollah and operating along the border with Israel. A Reuters report revealed that Iran also has hundreds of advisors in Iraq.

Qatar is also one of the biggest funders of Hamas, whose leader, Khaled Mashaal, is based in Qatar's capital, Doha. During the past few years, Qatar has provided Hamas with hundreds of millions of dollars -- money used to purchase and develop weapons to attack Israel.

By the time Obama leaves the White House, Iran will most likely be in control of more Arab countries, and Qatari-backed terror groups will be much stronger.

The Egyptians are furious with U.S. President Barack Obama for meeting in the White House this week with the emir of Qatar, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al-Thani. They say that the Obama Administration has once again turned its back on moderate Arabs and Muslims by endorsing those who support and fund Islamic terror groups.

The meeting between Obama and the emir of Qatar came shortly after Egypt accused the emirate of supporting terrorism.

It was pretty obvious when Obama called for American-ally Mubarak’s ouster and backed Morsi in Egypt. Hell, Hillary practically slept with Morsi she visited him so often. What a shame she offered up Ambassador Stevens in exchange for the Blind Sheik on behalf of Morsi.

Because Barack Hussein Obama is a Kenyan born, Muslim schooled, Marxist indoctrinated TERRORIST. He is a demon from Hell and as evil as they come. That is who he is.

If our Christians and Jews don’t join together and take this nation back, Obama will hand it to ISIS.
