Doha Deal: Buy A Ferrari, Donate To Gaza
[Ynet] Qatar
...an emirate on the east coast of the Arabian Peninsula. It sits on some really productive gas and oil deposits, which produces the highest per capita income in the world. They piss it all away on religion, financing the Moslem Brotherhood and several al-Qaeda affiliates...
 Red Islamic Thingy's public auction raises $3 million for rehabilitation of Strip by selling luxury vehicles and cycle of violences.
Doing "good" by doing well.
The Qatar Red Islamic Thingy Society hosted a public auction last weekend in Doha to raise funds for the reconstruction of the Gazoo Strip. Cars and cycle of violences from 2012 to 2014 were on offer, including 14 luxury vehicles, as well as three parts from the cover which wraps the holy Kabaa in Mecca.
I s'pose one could make a tent of it, for playing Bedouins & Slave Girls in a convenient patch of desert..
According to Qatari media outlets, the organizers successfully raised 11 million Qatari riyals ($3 million), a part of which was designated for the rehabilitation of the Strip, including the construction of homes, mosques, schools, and hospitals, as well rebuilding and fixing the infrastructure damaged during Operation Protective Edge.
A part of US$3 million isn't going to go very far toward all of that, even if they needn't pay union wages and overtime.
A press release by the organization said that a quarter of the sum raised by the public auction would be invested in the rehabilitation effort, while some of the money would be returned to the owners of the auctioned property.
A quarter of $3 mil is $750,000. Will that get as much as site clearing for one apartment building?
The top billed item in the auction was a 2013 Lamborghini sold for 8 million Qatari riyals ($2.2 million); two 2013 Ferraris and a 2012 McLaren were sold for 580,000 Qatari riyals ($159,000).

The Kabaa coverings were sold for 50,000 Qatari riyals ($13,730).

Qatari media outlets claimed the event was attended by businessmen and sponsors from the ruling elite. Despite the recent expulsions of several senior Moslem Brüderbund officials from the Gulf state, the organization's spiritual leader, Yusuf al-Qaradawi

He is also well-known for IslamOnline, which occasionally advocates things like slavery and thumping the old lady with a rod no thicker than an inch, and has published more than 120 books, including Islam: The Future Civilization. Joe has long had a prominent role within the intellectual leadership of the Moslem Brüderbund. Some of his views have been controversial in the West, though less so among the rubes of the Mysterious East, and he was refused entry to the United Kingdom in 2008. In 2004, 2,500 Muslim academics from Saudi Arabia, Iraq and from the Palestinian territories condemned Qaradawi, and accused him of giving Islam a bad name....
, spoke at the auction.
Naturally. Hamas is a MB organization, and the expulsions weren't to take immediate effect. Best he got out from under foot while the womenfolk handled the packing.
