Until last year when all those Middle Eastern Allies of ours you mentioned along with Egypt and Saudi denounced them last year for their ties to terrorists groups including ISIS and their continued support to them.

To be fair, they (the Saudi coalition) were only really using that that as an excuse to justify their blockade to Westerners. In reality and privately the KSA and UAE couldn't give less of a frick about Qatar funding salafi militant groups, their problem with Qatar is their ties to Iran and reporting in Al Jazeera.

Qatar tries to play power politics and be kind of a wildcard in the region, punching way above their weight...it's why they have those ties with Iran, why they have AJ, why they host members of the Taliban, and probably why they fund all of these American universities. Their GCC neighbors are sick of their shite.
