Universities in the United States are being funded by Qatar and the UAE

April 9, 2024

Universities in the United States are being funded by Qatar and the UAE (1). This raises questions as to the influence this funding has over the universities.

Political Islam seeks to financially influence non-Islamic representatives, institutions, and organizations of strategic importance, which goes back to the example of Mohammed giving money to foreign ambassadors to influence them in favor of Political Islam.

📖 Doctrinal support:

Hadith, Bukhari 3053: "...The Prophet on his death-bed, gave three orders saying, “Expel the pagans from the Arabian Peninsula, respect and give gifts to the foreign delegates as you have seen me dealing with them.” I forgot the third (order)…" (2)

Koran 9:41: "Go forth, light-armed and heavy-armed, and strive with your wealth and your lives in the way of Allah! That is best for you if ye but knew." (3)
