Wow! Muslims issuing travel bans on Muslims. Go figure! /s/

Just goes to prove how ignorant our court system is!

There is also the Orthodox subplot in this mix: A mission/parish in Qatar being served by a Priest of the Patriarchate of Jerusalem has led to the Patriarchate of Antioch suspending communion with Jerusalem. The Patriarchate of Moscow joined Antioch in boycotting the “Council” held in Crete last June.

Could Qatar’s estrangement from the Arab world in part be caused by its permitting an Orthrodox presence in the Arabian peninsula?

Remember at the mid east conference, Trump said “everyone will sign the accord.” evidently some didn’t.

The other countries who finance and support terrorism say about Qatar: “Look squirrel!”

Qatar is the home of Al Jazeera.

This will have a large effect on the war in Syria. Qatar has been trying to push their pipeline through Syria to sell their natural gas to Europe. Their natural gas comes from one of the world's largest fields off-shore of Qatar. Qatar owns one half of the field. Iran owns the other half. Now with Qatar splitting from Saudi Arabia and the other Gulf States and joining up diplomatically with Iran Qatar will be unlikely to continue the fight in Syria since Iran is aligned there with the Syrian government that Qatar has, until now, been trying to overthrow. Continuing the fight in Syria now would leave Qatar with ZERO friends in the Gulf.

I have no idea what has caused this split among the Gulf States but I know it's a big thing geopolitically. It might be that Qatar has decided to join with Iran in selling its gas to China (instead of trying to get it to Europe) and if so this will have a huge impact on the petro-dollar. World wars are fought over things like this.

More winning from “an inept President”. If only Obama had been so inept....
