Cheap gas I'm sure you mean 
IIRC, Qatar is the largest LNG exporter or has the world's largest reserves of LNG. It's one or the other, maybe both!
I'm starting to think this is about LNG, not terrorism or the funding thereof.

Yep, one only has to look at Saudi Arabia regarding involvement in Terrorism to realise this is not what it's about. |

As Qatar is probably going to be central to what happens next in the middle east and central Asia in the short to medium term I thought this thread was best for news of developments.
Iran has blamed Saudi Arabia for the terrorist attack in Tehran. ISIS has claimed responsibility. I'd like to thank Culprit for the tissue warning - you've saved me a lot of laundry work this morning
Germany is pulling out it's troops from the Incirlik airbase in Turkey. This has NATO implications. Montenegro joined NATO 3 days ago which I personally find rather amusing. They are as North Atlantic as Fiji. 
Turkey's parliament has approved a bill allowing troop deployment to Qatar. Will the Americans let them or welcome them?
Saudi Arabia gave Qatar 24 hours to comply with 10 demands that have not been made public. There are muffled threats of military action. I think the deadline expires tonight our time.
Iraqi Kurds are having an independence referendum on 25 September apparently. This has potentially massive implications for Turkey and Syria.

Japan solves the “Islam problem”
At a time when immigrants are coming in huge number into several countries like Germany, France, America, Britain, Australia and other countries, Japan has completely banned Muslim immigrants. They allow a very few number of Muslim into their country, and only for business reasons.

Japan lets bugger all of anyone in (to immigrate). An old school mate of mine lives there, he teaches at a uni, he's married and has kids with a local and he's a big exception.

This is the dream of far-right groups: a return to ethnic-nationalism, where people only mingle with their own kind.

Japan has a massive ageing population and a chronic shortage of agricultural labour. So much so that whole villages are leaving homes abandoned. Soon they will be looking to buty food on a massive scale. They will have to import workers as well. Maybe they should lookat Uighers and Rohinganswho are muslim but not arabic. Failing that they could look at the pacific islanders whose homes will be under water otrtheir fishing grounds were ruined by Japanese and Chinese illegal fishing.

Counting those by Aum Shinrikyo ? Similar number to Australia on a per capita basis.
