'''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 financial, 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 against the Iranian government via the Muslim Brotherhood in an attempt to overthrow Syrian 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 most notable of Qatari state media is Al-Jazeera, which has been accused of spinning narratives with its audiences. | '''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.
