#3 Qatar has a history of trying to be the alternate power in the Islamic sphere of influence (Turkey and the Sauds being the other two.) On occasion they get smacked down by the Magic Kingdom, as when they backed the MB in Egypt.

#4 I wondered why Qatar accepted the Taliban Gitmo detainees as well as supporting Hamas. One account states:

Qataris have a different relationship with the Taliban than does the U.S. Afghanistan is not their war. These men and their families are fellow Muslims. And Qatar sees the latest prisoner swap as a humanitarian gesture Source. It may be that simple.
