These regimes stand for everything that America should reject.
Daniel Greenfield, a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the Freedom Center, is a New York writer focusing on radical Islam.
Michelle Obama is heading to Qatar, a state sponsor of just about every Islamic terrorist group you can name, on a mission of âgender parityâ accompanied by late night comedian Conan OâBrien.
That makes sense since the idea of equal rights for women in Qatar is a joke.
Qatar charges rape victims with adultery, has no law against domestic violence and women need permission from their male guardian to get an education, a driverâs license, a job or to leave the country.
Women arenât equal in Qatar. Theyâre property.
But Qatar is one of Obamaâs favorite Muslim dictatorships. Secretary of State John Kerry recently launched an economic dialogue with Qatar. Qatar got a free pass to smuggle weapons past the NATO blockade of Libya even though the administration knew the weapons were going to terrorists.
While Qatar was buying weapons from Sudan, a country whose leader is wanted for crimes against humanity, to pass along to Islamic terrorists in Syria, the State Department was clearing Qatar to buy American weapons. Qatar was, of course, a Clinton Foundation donor.
The Reagan administration had cracked down on Qatar for illegally getting its hands on Stinger missiles. The first Bush administration had forced Qatar to destroy them. But these days we are the arms dealer for a nasty tyranny that has ties to terrorists. Or as the State Department report politely stated, âU.S officials are aware of the presence of Hamas leaders, Taliban members, and designated Al Qaeda and Islamic State financiers in Qatar.â These nice folks share a country with U.S. Central Command.
Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, the Al Qaeda bigwig who planned 9/11, was tipped off by a member of the Qatari royal family and the former Minister of the Interior which allowed him to escape.
That made it the perfect place to host the âmoderateâ Taliban for negotiations that went nowhere. It was also where Obama sent the 5 Taliban commanders after their release.
When meeting with the Emir, Obama claimed that "Qatar is a strong partner in our coalition to degrade and ultimately defeat ISIL.â But Qatar has allegedly funded and armed ISIS and other Al Qaeda groups. Islamic State financiers and supporters comfortably move around Qatar flying their ISIS freak flag.
Vice President Biden and Germanyâs Development Aid Minister Gerd Mueller were forced to apologize for accusing Qatar of financing terrorists because some truths about our âallyâ simply could not be spoken. Meanwhile an Egyptian intelligence document reportedly claimed that Qatar had provided anti-aircraft missiles to ISIS.
But Qatar is only Obamaâs second favorite Muslim dictatorship and state sponsor of terror. Topping the list is Turkey, which just underwent another ugly Islamist election defined by accusations of fraud.
Obama had spoken of building a âmodel partnershipâ with Turkey between âa predominantly Christian nation and a predominantly Muslim nationâ. The United States, Obama said, is not "a Christian nation or a Jewish nation or a Muslim nationâ. He suggested that âmodern Turkey was founded with a similar set of principles." But the Turkish Republic has long since been ground under the wheels of Erdoganâs Islamist Turkey whose model is the Ottoman Empire and whose ruler lives in a billion dollar palace.
A little insight into Erdoganâs view of Islam can be gained from the fact that Turkeyâs tyrant was once sent to prison for reciting an Islamic poem with the infamous lines, âThe mosques are our barracks, the minarets our bayonets, the domes our helmets and the believers our soldiers.â Itâs not surprising that Erdoganâs Turkey supports most of the same Islamic terrorist groups as Qatar including Hamas.
While Turkey still has elections, it is increasingly an Islamist one-party state where the political opposition, journalists, prosecutors and even police can be locked up by the forces of the regime.
And much of that controversy stems from a criminal investigation into arms smuggling to terrorists.
Having helped create the mess in Syria, Turkey has become a waypoint for Syrian Muslims invading Europe. Once shunned by Germany, whose Turkish Muslim settlers are his strongest base of support, the refugee crisis sent Merkel and the Europeans with hat in hand to beg Erdogan to stop the invasion.
But Obama has always been Erdoganâs faithful friend. When the Islamist wanted to build mosques in this part of the world, Communist Cuba turned him down, but he got his $100 million mega mosque in Maryland. Millions calls Erdogan another Hitler, but Obama calls him âmy friend.â
Another friend of Obama is the Sultan of Brunei. Obama called the Sultan, âMy good friendâ and rolled out a $6 billion green energy financing scheme for Brunei and Indonesia; two Muslim countries that violate human rights like itâs a spectator sport.
While Obama was palling around with the Sultan of Brunei, his âgood friendâ was bringing back Sharia law complete with stoning gays. The Sultan also banned Christmas and the Chinese New Year while urging âall racesâ to unite under Islamic law.
African Christian countries that outlawed homosexuality had faced pressure and criticism from the White House, but Obama had no lectures on human rights to offer his good Islamist friend.
Neither did Hillary Clinton whose Clinton Foundation had received millions of dollars from the regime.
But the most explosive allegations about Brunei, like those about Qatar and Turkey, involve Al Qaeda. In one of the more controversial uses of the âsuper-injunctionâ in UK law, the ex-wife of the Sultan had filed a gag order against a British businessman involving allegations that the Sultan of Brunei had met with a senior member of Al Qaeda, funded the terror group and even that âthe claimant knew or suspected from conversations with her exâhusband that there would be major terrorist attacks on the UK (7/7) and Israel.â There is of course no way to verify the truth of these allegations. But the Islamization of Brunei parallels the goals of groups such as Al Qaeda and ISIS.
Obama has many âgood friendsâ among the tyrants and terrorists of the Muslim world. But one of them is both a tyrant and a terrorist whose illegal regime is heavily subsidized by American taxpayers.
Muslim terrorists in Israel stabbed an 80-year-old woman and a 71-year-old man just this week. They did it because the PLOâs media operation, under President Abbas, told them it was their way to paradise.
Or as Abbas, the dictator whom Obama described as âsomeone who has consistently renounced violenceâ, said, "We bless every drop of blood, that has been spilled for Jerusalem...blood spilled for Allah...Every Martyr will reach Paradise.â
The blood includes the blood of elderly women and children, and the blood of families murdered together. Every murder is funded by US foreign aid because every terrorist knows that he can count on a lifetime salary from the PLO. The PLO paid out $144 million to terrorists last year alone.
Some terrorists have even confessed that they tried to kill Israelis to be able to pay off their debts.
Hillary Clinton and the State Department were sued by terror victims for funding terrorism in Israel. But nothing has changed. And when American terror victims won a lawsuit against the PLO in America, Obamaâs people stepped in to protect the interests of the PLO against its victims.
The PLO is funded by hundreds of millions in American foreign aid. Over the years, $4.5 billion was spent on promoting âPalestinian democracyâ. There is now less democracy than ever because Obamaâs PLO pal doesnât bother with elections. He just takes the money and runs a totalitarian terror state.
Obamaâs favorite Muslim dictatorships are the opposite of everything that America stands for. They are places where human rights are a myth and terrorism a virtue. They are everything that we should reject. But instead their tyrants and terrorists are the good friends of their man in the White House.

Quater gave antiaircraft missiles to isis?!?
That Russian airliner that just went down...that isis immediately took credit for...nah. Can’t diss the richest wahhabists spreading koranic jihad. wahaabiests
Compare the sad facts from your article to the scenarios that played out in two other countries in the area that did not align with US policy. Egypt and Tunisia. One overthrew the Obama backed radical Moslem regime and the other somehow got ignored in the shuffle which allowed good people there to start to build an actual democratic government (and win a Nobel Peace prize that actually was deserved). If you are a voice for liberty and freedom in the ME, you are no friend of this administration.
What is the name of someone who gives aid and comfort to the enemies of the United States? Mr. Greenfield describes his acts, but leaves to us to define and name the WH resident.
Wasn't the Sultan of Brunei one of the world's richest men in the 1990s (at a point THE richest)?
Why the F should our taxpayers be giving Brunei a dime for 'green energy'?
That would be all of them.
Well said, Egypt was wise to reject what Obama and Hillary had planned for them,
This is spiritual evil at work, principalities and powers in play and the worst of them are now ruling over America and she is being given over,
First the incursion came in the 90s then a larger one in 2001 and now the flood gates are coming down and this demonic spirit is pouring in,
All of of us that know the truth are about to be made illegal outcasts in our own land,

Hillary's entourage of low IQ fawning female 'journalists' avert their eyes to the obvious - - what a circus...
If true, the Russians may have them drawn and Qatared.
Because Queen Valarie Jarrett demands that our puppet president do so. Any more stupid questions?
