"Doha’s bet that the Brotherhood would become a politically unstoppable force, is looking less safe"

"...And yet, Qatar’s Brotherhood policy amounts to an enormous gamble. Qatar is already experiencing enormous friction with its partners in the Gulf Cooperation Council. On a regional scale, Doha’s bet that the Brotherhood would become a politically unstoppable force is looking less safe.... At one time, it may have looked as if the Brotherhood branches across the region enjoyed strong popular support, but that is now less of a certainty.
