"Laura Loomer, a US-based influencer who acts as an unofficial loyalty enforcer for US President Donald Trump, has reinvented herself as an expert on Qatar infiltration and the Muslim Brotherhood. In recent months, Loomer has tweeted about Qatar approximately twice per day, according to my analysis of her feed. Of the top 100 most shared URLs mentioning both Qatar and the Muslim Brotherhood in the past year, I found that 35 belong to her."
"Tommy Robinson (also known by his real name Stephen Yaxley-Lennon) is somewhat less eloquent but no less vitriolic. The British anti-Islam activist has posted tweets saying F**k Qatar three times in the past few days, along with a video he made lamenting Qatari investments in the UK. This fixation isn't random. Over the past two years, Qatar has been cast as a catch-all villain, the hidden architect of Western decay: Bankrolling student protests, driving immigration, manipulating US diplomacy, and advancing the Islamification of the West."
Conservative influencers, pseudo-journalists, pro-Israel think tanks and dubious analysts increasingly depict Qatar as orchestrating global conspiracies. Prominent figures such as Laura Loomer and Tommy Robinson repeatedly target Qatar, amplifying claims about Qatari influence and investments. Messaging frames Qatar as responsible for student protests, immigration pressures, manipulation of US diplomacy, and the Islamification of the West. The campaign mixes recycled Islamophobia with coordinated influence tactics. Objectives include undermining Doha's mediation role in Gaza, damaging its ties with Washington, and reviving Eurabia-style fears as political tools across a growing far-right ecosystem.
