Back in August, Human Rights Watch said that “FIFA and Qatari authorities should leverage the country’s existing migrant worker compensation systems to establish a comprehensive remedy program for workers who suffered serious harms, including deaths, injuries, and wage theft,” but nothing was said at the time about dhimmis picking up the cost. Now, however, “a top FIFA official told European lawmakers that it was ‘interested’ in helping workers get compensation.”
Human rights abuses are routine under Sharia, creating a culture of abuse in some Islamic countries. Qatar is among them:
The labour abuses, injuries and deaths of many of those workers, have called on FIFA to commit $440 million for a reparations fund for workers
It remains jaw-dropping how Sharia abuses are widely known, yet it remains taboo in Western culture to discuss how this abuse is informed and shaped by Islamic texts. To raise such issues earns one charges of being “Islamophobic,” so instead, a new leaf has now turned (adding to the silence about Islamic human rights abuses). Rather than hold Qatar responsible for its abuses, dhimmis are being asked to foot the bill for it.
Amnesty International has called the 2022 FIFA event: “Qatar World Cup of shame.” Qatar should never have been granted the privilege of hosting the FIFA games to begin with. But through an underhanded plot, it was chosen, despite the nightmares that attendees must now contend with, particularly LGBTQ people who must fear for their safety. Then there is the mandatory downloading of spyware on cellphones for attendees. Attendees must comply with Qatar’s Islamic laws, or else.
The article from the Toronto Star asks: “The top European nations have pushed for a compensation fund for World Cup workers in Qatar. Why hasn’t Canada?,” despite the fact that the Trudeau government is the biggest spender in Canadian history.
“The top European nations have pushed for a compensation fund for World Cup workers in Qatar. Why hasn’t Canada?,” by Kerry Gillespie, Toronto Star, November 9, 2022:
The weather is the reason for the November start of the FIFA World Cup, months after the summer season. Qatar is hot — too hot, it was decided, for the world’s top soccer players and their ardent ticket-buying fans.
But it was not deemed too hot for the migrant workers who have spent the last decade travelling to Qatar to build $200 billion (U.S.) worth of new stadiums, hotels and infrastructure so one of the world’s smallest nations can host one of its biggest sporting events.
International labour and human rights groups, which have documented the labour abuses, injuries and deaths of many of those workers, have called on FIFA to commit $440 million for a reparations fund for workers — the same amount it is paying in prize money to the 32 men’s teams.
A month ago, a top FIFA official told European lawmakers that it was “interested” in helping workers get compensation. But with the World Cup opener just around the corner on Nov. 20, FIFA president Gianni Infantino is now urging competing nations to put political and human rights concerns aside and “let football take the stage.”…

Once again civilised nations are expected to pay up for the abuses of a corrupt mudslime country.
Here’s an idea, after the world cup, freeze the assets of the Qatar leadership and use that money to pay the slaves.

Yep.

Fantastic idea! 👌

Aww for a moment I misread the title and thought the EU finally decided to stand up to Islamic thug countries like Qatar and force them to pay reparations to the workers they abused, but they want to foot the bill instead.
How about cancelling FIFA or delaying it and hold the event in a non-Islamic country, let Qatar burn? They are responsible for funding terrorists groups like AQ and ISIS which are killing non-Muslim citizens.
What Qatar deserves along with most if not all Islamic states is at the least to be shut off from infidel money and at worst turned into a parking lot.

Clearly it is part of the Jizyah owed by the Infidels to Islam which will require that the West Should compensate Qatar for the deaths of World Cup workers in Qatar.

A muslim told me in Dubia Indians worked in the summer heat needing only a small bowl of rice. My apron and minimum wage job is why I think they were telling me this.

EU called upon to pay reparations to migrant workers in Qatar who built FIFA infrastructure
……………………………….
FIFA never should have given the World Cup to Qatar–but this still doesn’t explain why the Infidels should be paying workers abused in Qatar itself. But then, everyone knows that the Muslims responsible won’t make this right.

The most ridiculous thing about all this is trying to assign hosting honors to countries outside the traditional Euro/LatAm regions. Although not a soccer fan, I recall in the 80s and prior, hosting honors would alternate b/w Europe & Latin America – say Italy one time, Mexico next, Germany after that, Argentina to follow…
I understand FIFA wanting to popular the game outside those regions (although this sport is certainly far more popular worldwide than anything else, be it basketball, tennis,…) However, that doesn’t imply that they had to spread it to countries that are fringe participants in the sport
Alkflaeda says
They don’t dare hold Qatar responsible, even though they will be profiting from this event. There should in future be a deal that the allocation of any major sporting event to a given country carries with it requirements for fair working conditions for those who will be undertaking the essential infrastructure.
Alkflaeda says
In practice, the slave trade has not been abolished, it has merely been outsourced via labour exploitation in non-Westernised countries. Chinese exploitation of Uighurs, and the Islamic slave trade are just less visible than Simon Legree – but if we profit from other people’s suffering then we are complicit.

1. The corrupt muslims of Qatar bribed the equally corrupt FIFA to give them the World Cup, even though it made no sense at all – so they’re both as bad as each other.
2. However, the above notwithstanding, the country contracted to host the games remains responsible for its own conduct in preparing for the games, not the organisation issuing the contract. The Qataris alone are therefore liable for all reparations, not FIFA, even if the latter volunteer to guarantee or oversee the payment. it should be up to FIFA to bring all appropriate pressure to bear on Qatar to see that all reparations are paid, but NOT to pay anything themselves.
3. Qatar has no excuse whatever not to be aware of the standards of conduct required in hosting an event that is essentially the property of the West and would be expected to abide by Western standards. If they contravene this in any way, they and no one else are responsible for the consequences.

What on earth has it got to do with the EU? Sure there are some countries from within the EU playing just as there are countries from other global trading blocks playing.
