'''Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al-Thani''' (born June 3, 1980) is the current Emir of Qatar, having held power since the abdication of his father [[Hamad bin Khalifa al-Thani]] in 2013. Although his cult of personality ensures his popularity as a Qatari symbol of nationalism, he is more controversial in other countries due to his regime's support of Islamic terror groups, notably the [[Muslim Brotherhood]], which the Qatari government supplies with diplomatic and medical support. Tamim and Hamad also both funded [[Mohamed Morsi]]'s Muslim Brotherhood-backed government until it was overthrown in a coup by [[Abdel Fattah el-Sisi]]. Furthermore, Tamim is currently engaged in a proxy war ~~in Syria using~~ the Muslim Brotherhood in an attempt to overthrow president [[Bashar al-Assad]] so that he can expand Qatari influence in the post-Assad era, and has political relationships with the [[Taliban]] and [[Hamas]]. He also formed the [[Army of Conquest]] to further his proxy war. All of these groups are supported by the state controlled media, which also broadcasts their [[Anti-Semitism|Anti-Semitic]] propaganda.

The Qatari government is notorious for stripping migrant workers of their passports and using them for slave labour. According to the German regional public service television channel WDR, several of its reporters were detained for several days in Qatar for collecting evidence on the conditions of migrant workers. The Guardian has reported that Nepalese migrants building the infrastructure to host the 2022 World Cup died at a rate of one every two days in 2014. Human Rights Watch's “2014 World Report” confirmed the precarious conditions of the migrant workers, who sometimes live in unsanitary conditions and are subject to arbitrary restrictions on the right to leave Qatar, exploitation and abuse by employers.
