4:47 pm
brotherhood among the public and also politicians and said actually of the ways it undermines democracy at its roots as a lot eat democratic. mind and feel. i recommend banning donations from abroad because that allows foreign governments to influence religious elements that are active here you and and. charity exert influence over the entities it sounds if so how. the museum of the civilizations of islam in the swiss city of last fall in the cantillon of new show was financed by qatar charity it opened its doors in 2016 its director is not come. for this museum came about 17 years ago driven by a desire to create something enjoyable and at the same time a place where people can go to seek answers. at the time of its inauguration come

political and economic blockade of qatar began on june 5th 2017 a move justified by catullus alleged support of islamist groups but the state was also paying for its unchecked growth strategy is to proceed in order to achieve independence from saudi arabia. guitar charity closed down its mayfair office in london in 2018 and its local officials left the country. but in fact qatar charity u.k. didn't really disappear it changed its name to necktie trust a few months ago and it no longer has a london office as if to raise old time with the parent company. the pressure on doha since 2017 has been intense saudi arabia the united arab

4:57 pm
ties with tunisia and they have problems dealing with another part i don't think so going back to your question any involvement of guitar in europe in terms of any contributions this is totally illegal and i'm pretty sure it's under the site of the respective governments so it exists i'm not sure i mean it depends case by case circuit arctic be i mean through some of the legal entities could be contributing to some cultural censors and so on and so forth but then the way you phrase it sounds very suspicious while it's very legal and in the light. of what this means is that the west should face up to its own responsibilities to be sure qatar charities funding channels were complex and a paid safe guitar like other arab states before it became involved in funding islam on european soil it was merely filling a void. if european countries hope to counter this strategy of
