#3 This funding goes way back. In the mid-nineteen eighties, given the Islamist revolution in Iran and jihad in Afghanistan, Islamist activists had a decided impact in the Gulf. Although it was officially banned in the region the Muslim Brotherhood's newspaper, Al Dawaa, circulated openly. Radicalization occurred thanks to funding from a combination of wealthy sheikhs and Muslim Brothers who resided in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates.
In the years that followed the Brothers who had infiltrated the Gulf banking sector continued to gave to jihadists, while the Brothers who infiltrated the education system were responsible for radicalizing many young men -- including many wealthy young men who even today give to Islamist causes.
