After the four countries, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Egypt, cut ties with Doha, two parties that have nothing to do with each other rushed to defend Qatar. The first one is a group of the most famous terrorists, some of whom are in battlefields, and the other is a group of the most famous football players. Abdullah al-Muhaysini, a terrorist in Al-Nusra Front which branched from al-Qaeda organization condemned boycotting Qatar and called for ending the boycott via a video recording from Syria. Similarly, Xavi , who previously played for Barcelona , made the same demand.

It’s a strange paradox. So what does a terrorist have in common with a famous footballer?

The answer is the deception which Doha has practiced for years while showing a civilized and cultured face to the West and a dark and an extremist face to the East. Commenting on Qatar’s intentional double standards at the European Parliament few days ago, Saudi Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir addressed the West and told them they do not know Qatar’s dark side and only see it as a country with museums and the Paris Saint Germain football club.

The message is clear as without forcing Doha to implement the conditions of the boycotting countries and completely preventing it from supporting terrorism and extremist groups which promote hate speech around the clock, we will witness more horrific terror attacks because the heart of intellectual and financial terrorism continues to beat. We must not be fooled by the two-faced Qatar and its double standards. There is only one ugly face. Neymar Jr is a mere mask on Qaradawi’s face.
