Situation with Qatar really became very tense sand dangerous, very close to real war according to some media reports.
It looks that Qatar became a collateral victim of the open conflict between Saudi Arabia and Iran, and their struggle for supremacy in the Arab world.
US President Trump, with his misleading statements, adding fire to this conflict instead of calming down the situation.
I hope that we will not see another war in Arab world, similar to Iraq and Iran's war 40 years ago.

Muslims are very aggressive people and, therefore, in the Arab world will never be calm. Even when countries in the middle East there is no official war, there are constantly people dying in the endless attacks.

Hmmm... would that cause those Shiites to end up "stateless"? I suppose Saudi Arabia is not a signatory to the agreement that tried to ensure that no person will be without nationality. I wonder if we can do that to Sunnis here in the Philippines.

Oh, never mind, the UN would be on our tails if we tried. Grin

Or maybe we can just take in Christians from Malaysia and Indonesia, the same way we took in Japanese when Christians were persecuted in their countries. Indonesia is starting to be more intolerant now.

Muslims are more equal than the others, according to the UN. They always bark when some Muslim is persecuted in Myanmar or Thailand. But they never utter a single word when Hindus and Christians are treated worse than animals in countries such as Bangladesh and Pakistan.

And I don't believe that Indonesia is more tolerant now. Indonesians were originally Hindus, who were forcibly converted to Islam during the 16th century. As seen from history, the children of such converts grow up as fanatic Muslims.

Is Qatar really being punished for not participating in the military industrial complex? We all know what happens to the countries that refuse to bow down

Oh, so it's Saudi trying to prop up a regime again, how typical of them. I'm assuming when you said "forced demographic change" it got something to do with birth control.

No. They didn't used birth control as a means to control the demographics (as far as I know). On the other hand, they revoked the citizenship of a large number of Shiite citizens (using treason as an excuse) and granted citizenship to tens of thousands of Sunni Arabs from countries such as Syria and Iraq.

They might not try to invade Qatar but don't dismiss the possibility of a "regime change". They might do another round of the Arab Spring somewhere and just have Qatar as one of the casualties.

I wouldn't rule out a regime change in Qatar completely, but the chances are minimal. Qatar is a very small country, and the total number of citizens is just around 300,000 and almost all of them have blood relations with the royal family. And also, there is no infighting within the royal family. They are quite united behind the Emir (Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani).

Oh. It was years ago when that horrible thing happened. My memory must be foggy. Was it Bahrain that had protests? I remember there were a few Gulf countries that joined along. Also remember a march on some landmark, I believe it was something like "pearl rotunda". I mean, after all the protests in Tunisia, people in other Arab countries started going outside, like in Egypt.

The situation in Bahrain is entirely different. It is a Shia-majority nation (at least 60% of the population before the forced demographic changes began), ruled by a Sunni monarchy. The Bahrainis were trying to overthrow the regime with help from Iran, but the riots were put down by the Saudi-backed forces.

Ugh, can't wait for all that oil to run dry. Prior to the oil engine, whatever sectarian differences there are in that parched piece of dirt don't affect everyone. It seems they can barely tolerate each other, discriminating the people of the other sect should they come to power (like in Iraq).

If they were only allowed to do this on their own, it probably wouldn't be this messy. At least if they fcuked up they can only blame themselves and the regime. Not like now where they're all calling "death to the West". The invasion of Libya was uncalled for and set the stage for the migrant crisis now in Europe. Say what you want about Gaddafi but I believe if Libya is still OK now he would have taken in many of those refugees.

Well Al-Jazeera is doing updates on the stuff so adding as a note
http://www.aljazeera.com/news/2017/06/qatar-diplomatic-crisis-latest-updates-170605105550769.html
Looks like Oil rules aren't changing and Eritrea and Turkey didn't give a fu, anyway more concerned that Qatar is destroyed ... then more chaos cause of interventionism.

Guess they'll be next to be bombed into democracy for supporting terrorism, eh?

I don't think that they will push Qatar beyond a certain limit. Already they are improving their relations with Iran, and if the Saudis remain too aggressive, then Qatar will break from the GCC alliance and align with Iran. This will be a major blow for the KSA and the US in the middle east region.

Never underestimate what KSA and US would do to further their plans. I believe KSA is still not done with Yemen, where they're hopelessly trying to bolster the regime. The last thing they'd want is a country on the Arabian peninsula aligned with Iran. Sure this might be to pressure Qatar but I doubt they'd stop at this if the pressure don't break the country enough.

I have mixed opinion about this. On the one hand I don't see anything wrong with what they bought well-known and valuable for people. How many sailors bathed Somali pirates! On the other hand it could be a planned operation for the maintenance of the terrorists. Who can guarantee that it is not.

Wasn't it a few days ago that hackers released emails from UAE's ambassador to the US? Apparently there's a conspiracy to link Qatar and Bahrain with terrorism. Looks like everyone's ganging up on Qatar. A pity that those two countries mentioned were actually the more progressive among the Gulf States.

Al Jazeera, also known as JSC, is a Doha-based state-funded broadcaster owned by the Al Jazeera Media Network, which is partly funded by the House of Thani, the ruling family of Qatar.

I don't need to look it up in Wikipedia. I know Qatar funds that network. They mention it every time they report something about the Qatari government.

Regardless whether they report about this or not, the hackings Qatar's various agencies suffered before this fiasco (also hacked their official news agency and used its site and twitter to post various articles against Qatar) shows that this has been carefully planned.

Turkey has no reasons to go against Saudi Arabia. Actually the KSA and Turkey are cooperating a lot in Syria. Qatar may find some solace in its relations with Iran. But I don't know how practical it is. Qatar is Salafist Sunni, while Iran is militant Shia.

Have become aware of some details of this conflict. Qatar paid terrorists about $1 billion to free the 26 members of the Royal family, kidnapped in Iraq during a falconry. The money went to the liberation of about 50 soldiers, captured by the extremists in Syria. Another $200 - $300 million received Islamist groups in Syria, in particular, "Tahrir al-sham". Qatar of course denies everything, but the smoke without fire does not happen. It's probably true. One can only imagine how many lives will take this billion dollars.

interesting story. i have never heard of it before. is there any source thar we can see about this?

Qatar has been one of the main sponsors of the Wahhabi ideology for the past many years. Before the LNG boom, it used to be Saudi Arabia. But it is ironic that now the old sponsors are ganging up against the new sponsor.

Weird was that they tried to drag Bahrain into this and now Bahrain joined them against Qatar. I wonder how Qatar will survive this ganging they're receiving.

Do anyone have links to the mentioned hacked emails? From what I'm hearing, it says UAE was behind this shaming campaign. I also read somewhere that prior to the announcement from the Gulf neighbors, Qatar's news agency's (not al Jazeera) website and Twitter was hacked and used to release several articles against Qatar.

This is some high-level backstabbing we're seeing now.

Saudi Arabia is the biggest supporter and biggest financier of terrorism. 15 of the 19 911 bomber were Saudis and Saudis were funding madrasas across the world sowing Wahhabi ideology. Qatar is only rank second to Saudi Arabia.

This can force Qatar to change sides to Turkey and Iran to survive.

Saudi Arabia, Egypt, United Arab Emirates and Bahrain, followed by Yemen and Libya said on Monday morning about the break of diplomatic relations with neighboring Qatar, which they accused of supporting terrorists and extremists. The reason for this was the scandal with the publication by the Qatari news Agency statements, on behalf of the Emir on the need to establish relations with Iran. Later the official representative the Ministry of foreign Affairs of Qatar said the hacking of the website of the Agency, in connection with which this message is untrue. However, UAE, Bahrain and Saudi Arabia did not believe the explanation of a diplomat, and UAE Minister for foreign Affairs Anwar Gargash called on Qatar to change its policy and not to repeat past mistakes, to restore relations with neighbors. What is the policy or attempt to provoke a rise in oil prices?

I dont understand why there Arabs are fighting between themselves, Without a doubt, one or more of the countries mentioned do support terrorism, There is no better reason to explain how these terrorist organisations get all the money to fund their heinous crimes, they must have a very wealthy donor somewhere.

I think many of these billionaire politicians support terrorism and manipulate these Muslims.

Unfortunately the Muslims are easily manipulated because of their religion
