Tucker Carlson announces plan to buy home in Qatar
Arutz Sheva (Channel 7, Israel)

U.S. podcaster Tucker Carlson announced that he plans to buy a home in the Qatari capital of Doha during an interview with Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani yesterday (Sunday).

Carlson stated that the purchase is being made in response to accusations that he has been paid off by the Qatari government for his recent praise of Qatar, defense of Sharia law and Islamist terrorist organizations, and hatred for the State of Israel.

“I am, however, tomorrow buying a place in Qatar. I like the city, I think it’s beautiful, but also to make a statement that I’m an American and a free man and I’ll be wherever I want to be. I have not taken any money from Qatar, but I have now given money to Qatar,” he added.

Qatar (unlike Saudi Arabia) allows non-Muslims to buy liquor.
Very heavy penalties for sharing with Muslims.

Because they want to be a tourist ... ahem ... (you should pardon the expression) ... "Mecca".

That would mean the firing squad for little Tucker.

On the plus side for them, his bow tie would make a handy target.
