SCHACHTEL: Qatar Is Breaking The Law By Not Registering Al Jazeera As Its Foreign Agent

Jordan Schachtel

Al Jazeera, the radical Islamist media empire that is fully controlled by the nation of Qatar, is breaking American laws by continuing to operate in the United States without registering under the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA). There is no distinction between Al Jazeera and the nation of Qatar. They are the same entity, and the evidence is available for anyone to observe.

FARA was originally enacted in 1938 — just three years prior to the U.S. entry into World War II — with the goal to keep tabs on individuals and companies working for the Communist Soviet Union and for Nazi Germany. Today, FARA provides a database of individuals and groups that lobby on behalf of foreign nations, both friends and foes alike.
