沙特还是美国谁是ISIS的幕后金主？

土耳其所实施的边境政策实际上存在很大问题，在卡塔尔和沙特阿拉伯的支持下，武器和金钱大批涌入叙利亚。人们普遍认为这将终结阿萨德的统治，使叙利亚重组归于逊尼派权力之下，并且中断什叶派与地中海的联系。

Yet as IS began its seemingly unstoppable rise in 2013, these groups were either swept away by it, or deciding it was better to join the winning team, simply defected bringing their weapons and money with them. So has Qatar funded Islamic State? Directly, the answer is no. Indirectly, a combination of shoddy policy and naivety has led to Qatar-funded weapons and money making their way into the hands of IS.

然而2013年以来，伊斯兰国家势力不断增长，这些极端组织或者被扫清，或者决定带着武器和金钱加入他们——毕竟他们是更有希望赢得胜利的一方。因此，我们可以说卡塔尔资助了伊斯兰国家吗？答案是：直接资助——并没有；间接资助——政策的漏洞和人为的忽视确实使武器和金钱流入了伊斯兰国家之手。

But there are deeper issues here; religious ties and sympathy for a group that both acts explicitly against Shia Iran's interests in the region and has the tacit support of more people in the Gulf than many would care to admit. The horrific acts committed by IS are difficult for anybody to support, but its goal of establishing a caliphate is certainly attractive in some corners of Islamic thought. Many of those who supported the goal have already found their way to Syria and have fought and died for Islamic State and other groups. Others express support more passively and will continue to do so for many years.
