WATCH: Protesters outside White House denounce Qatar terror links
(see video at link of actual protest in Washington DC)

Staff writer, Al Arabiya English Saturday, 1 July 2017

As the deadline given to Qatar by the boycotting countries (Saudi Arabia, UAE, Bahrain and Egypt) ends soon (July 3rd), American organizations and figures have called for new demonstrations to denounce Doha’s support for terrorism.

Several US groups had rallied in front of the White House and the Qatari embassy in Washington to protest against Qatar’s sponsorship of terrorism.

In a phone call with his Turkish counterpart Recep Tayyip Erdogan, US President Donald Trump stressed on the need to intensify the efforts of all countries to combat terrorism and extremist ideologies, in response to the Qatari crisis with its neighbors.

Potentially, from the video, the protesters look like they could be paid, they also look very American in this case. Very conscientious. Hard to know what to make of this.

Protesters Surround Qatar Embassy: ‘Stop Killing Christians!’ ‘Stop Terror!’

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Demonstrators organized by the National Black Church Initiative (NBCI) gathered outside the embassy of Qatar Wednesday chanting “stop killing Christians” and “stop terror.”

Breitbart London Editor-in-Chief Raheem Kassam spoke during the protest, condemning Qatar as the “Club Med for terrorists.”

The Qatari government has provided sanctuary to various members of jihadist organizations, namely the Taliban, al-Qaeda, Hamas, and the Muslim Brotherhood, allowing some of them to establish official offices on its territory.

Various Muslim countries and the United States have also affiliated Qatar with Shiite state sponsor of terrorism Iran.

According to the CIA World Factbook, nearly 14 percent of the Qatari population is Christian, about 68 percent Muslim, almost 3 percent Buddhist, and the rest Jewish, other, or unaffiliated.

We use a base in Qatar; things are not that simple and some people think they are being made the victim of a smear job.

I've heard people say we even use another facility there.
