Why was Qatar criticized during the World Cup?
So you had the World Cup a few years ago here. It was very widely covered around the world, and part of the coverage, maybe the majority of the coverage, was not about soccer, football. It was about your country and how it was, you know, needed to come into line with the social mores of the West, etc. There was a lot of lecturing to your country about the way that you live. Did you feel that?
Well, it's unfortunate, you know, there are... The whole purpose of hosting the World Cup is to bring the world together in that country, to put the country in the spotlight about the football, about the tournament and about people coming together. Unfortunately, countries and some NGOs try to use this as an opportunity to attack
What are the cultural values Qatar wants to preserve?
on values of the society itself, on the values of the country, of the community, by using it as an opportunity to change these values and to impose their own values on our country and our people. That's something that was expected from our side that we will be attacked. We will be hearing a lot of lectures about values and things that are not belongs to us. And basically, our decision from the beginning that we don't need to change the country for one month tournament. And I cannot change the value of a whole society and impose on them values that I don't believe in. And it's against every principle in our society, against the principles of Islam, against the principles of Christianity as well.
And that's basically, we said very clear, we respect everybody who's coming here as long as they are respecting the laws in that country, as you are expecting from the Qataris when they visit any of your countries in Europe, to respect your laws. And basically that's what we want from the people. Anything happen in their personal life, it's their personal life. But nothing should happen in public against the laws of the state of Qatar. And we will never change. The problem that those countries and NGOs put a lot of efforts in demonizing this World Cup in order to impose their values, yet there were many things happening around the world, and they are just turning a blind eye. If they put some efforts and energy on those real issues that affecting the human lives around the world, It would be much better than the waste investment that was in campaigns against the country to change its values, to impose new values which are not even related to us.
So why do you think that is? This used to be called cultural imperialism, taking your values and using force to impose them on another society. But this is probably the richest country per capita in the world. It's free. Qataris can come and go. They don't have to live here. They choose to live here. and your values are thousands of years old, why would it be important for an NGO?
Why does corporate media target Qatar?
I thought they were supposed to be feeding people, but instead they're yelling at you for not having enough transgender Qataris. What is the point of that? What do you think that actually is? What are they trying to do?
Well, I think it's mainly driven by an agenda that these are the things that we would like to see in countries that they are not accepting it, you know, and societies that they are not accepting it. We need to make it normal for them. We need to normalize it. A lot didn't accept the fact that Qatar is a small Arab country, can host a world-class tournament. Basically, they were like, you know, how a lot of attacks that why Qatar won the World Cup, like they don't have even the culture of the World Cup. I don't know what's, you know, what does it mean if... If I am a country, like a marginal country, I don't have the right to host a world tournament. And this is more about, honestly, I see it like more racism and superiority.
And that's basically, I think, the main driver for this.
So an official here told me a funny story, and I want to check to see if it's true. This person told me that some... Bureau or commission in the United Nations was rating the human rights here in Qatar and said, in order to score higher, you have to build nursing homes for your old people to live.
