Qatar using a charity cloak to bankroll terrorism in France

Qatari money is especially present in France, given the fact that the European country contains a sizeable Arab and Islamic community.
This
community eventually contains a large number of the members of the terrorist
Muslim Brotherhood movement which enjoys Qatari support.
According
to French journalist Georges Malbrunot, who is the co-author
of the book, "Qatar Papers", the members of the Muslim Brotherhood
who hail from Middle Eastern countries are responsible for raising funds for
the activities of the movement and organizing its different events in France.
There
is another group of Muslim Brotherhood members who function as a link between
the movement and organizations that function against the Egyptian government, Malbrunot
said.
He
added that these organizations include the Rabaa Story Foundation and the
International Coalition for Egyptians Abroad.

Doha
pays special attention to the Islamic community in France, according to Malbrunot.
He
said Qatar considers France to be an important gateway through which it can
extend its influence across the rest of the European continent.
Qatar
has been working to reach a growing number of the residents of French suburbs,
through the Suburbs Fund which was founded in 2012 after the allocation of a
huge amount of money to it.
The
establishment of the fund stirred up debates over Qatari motivations behind
this interest in France.
In
October 2008, the French National Council organized a day for the Arabic
language and the Arab culture with Qatari funding.
The
officials of the Federation of Islamic Organizations in France were invited to
the event. The federation is known to be a Muslim Brotherhood entity.
The
Paris Mosque is not immune from Qatari influence either. Qatar Charity donated
2 million Euros to the mosque in 2009.
