Well, that’s reasonable. Feel free to disregard the word “any”. I suppose it’s possible that there are nice middle-of-the-road Qatari aristos. But it’s not like that’s an enormous population with a lot of variety. A quick google of “al jazeera madrassa” shows a bunch of article about how wonderful they are. Some admit girls! “Some say” that madrassas are breeding grounds for extremism is as far as they go, in my admittedly very cursory research.
Part of the problem, of course, is that there are a lot of poor Muslim communities in Western nations. So the petrocrats swoop in and open lavish mosques with fire-breathing imams imported directly from Riyadh with their toxic messages.
There’s a reason that the Trump regime’s travel ban did not include Qatar, the UAE or Saudi Arabia, despite the prevalence of citizens from some of those countries among the 9/11 terrorists. Their petrocrats and our petrocrats play golf together (remember “Bandar Bush”?)
