"While attributing America's pledge to defend NATO allies to its longstanding friendships in Europe, the editorial observed that Qatar, on the other hand, though it hosts a major U.S. air base and other military facilities, does so as part of a deliberate strategy to cozy up to both the United States and Islamist jihadis of all stripes, before enumerating its sins:"
"Indeed, Qatar materially supports Hamas (and the Taliban, which harbored al-Qaeda and made war on America for 20 years), and it is a principal proponent of the Muslim Brotherhood and its loathsome Sunni Islamist ideology. What's more, it is an ally of the Shiite jihadist regime across the Persian Gulf in Iran. Qatar is the home of Al Jazeera, which propagates the sharia supremacist worldview,"
Conservative critics condemned a unilateral U.S. security guarantee for Qatar as a departure from America First. Qatar hosts major U.S. military facilities while allegedly cultivating ties to Islamist movements and extremist groups. Accusations include material support for Hamas, connections to the Taliban, promotion of the Muslim Brotherhood, and alignment with Iran. Qatar's media arm, Al Jazeera, is described as spreading a sharia-supremacist worldview, and Qatar has invested heavily in soft-power influence in the United States. The president retains constitutional authority to extend security guarantees, but the pledge raised questions about strategic and ideological alignment.
