More information emerges to show why Qatar should have never been awarded the privilege of hosting the FIFA World Cup 2022. It isn’t an Islamic world games event, it’s the World Cup, which includes infidels as equals. But not according to Qatar; infidels who attend must comply with Islamic norms. So far, Qatar is showing itself to be a threat to anyone who attends — from requiring that attendees download mandatory spyware onto their cellphones to demanding that gays conform to Sharia. A Saudi Muslim cleric even demanded that FIFA ban players from making the sign of the cross.
And now female attendees “might find themselves in jail if not dressed properly” during the games. This is reminiscent of the Islamic Republic of Iran, which is currently experiencing nationwide unrest after the murder of Mahsa Amini by morality police because she wasn’t ‘properly’ covered. Qatar’s treatment of foreign women is appalling. Five Australian women, among others, are now suing Qatar over forced airport vaginal exams at gunpoint.
Amnesty International has called the 2022 FIFA event the “Qatar World Cup of shame” over its abuse of workers while building the infrastructure for the games.
“Wait, what? Female fans in Qatar might find themselves in jail if not dressed properly during FIFA World Cup,” WION, November 16, 2022:
The FIFA World Cup 2022 edition is set to get underway in Qatar on November 20. Before all the action begins on the field, a lot of controversies have emerged in the run-up to the showpiece event. From a lot being said and written about the human rights violation in Qatar to a Danish reporter very recently being threatened by Qatari officials, a lot of drama has unfolded with regard to the mega tournament.
Ahead of Qatar 2022, another update has made heads turn. Female fans, coming from other countries, have been advised to dress properly and not wear anything that is too revealing during the upcoming FIFA World Cup. If any female fan fails to comply with this, she can be in big trouble and land herself in jail. It is to be noted that the laws in Qatar ban women from wearing tight clothes and showing their body parts in public. It falls under a punishable offence.
The FIFA website, on the other hand, stated that women can wear anything they like but will have to keep in mind the strict laws of Qatar. “People can generally wear their clothing of choice. Visitors are expected to cover their shoulders and knees when visiting public places like museums and other government buildings,” the World Cup website states.
Meanwhile, the Chief technology officer of the FIFA World Cup in Qatar Niyas Abdulrahiman pointed out, “We have high-resolution special cameras to zoom in on a particular seat and clearly see the spectator. It’s being recorded……..

Virgin Atlantic BANNED air crew from wearing new LGBT ‘gender neutral’ uniforms on England team’s flight to Qatar: Airline says outfits will only be allowed in ‘more accepting’ countries

It is a sign of respect for a visitor to another country to adhere to that country’s norms. If you don’t want to, don’t go there. After all, one doesn’t carry the norms and laws of their country with them wherever they travel. As they (whoever “they” are) say: When in Rome….
Knowing this and most particularly that it isn’t simply being rude but subjects visitors to the World Cup to prosecution and jail when they don’t comply (there are even a few capital offenses to watch out for) it is beyond unconscionable for the World Cup to be held there.
Moreover, just as the 1936 Olympics in Berlin gave the nazi regime some respectability and legitimacy this World Cup is tacit approval of Qatar’s policies vis-a-vie its position on human rights and the ill treatment of its foreign workers.

Your second and third paragraphs, Rarely, seem to contradict your first paragraph. Why should anyone ever show respect for evil even when they are voluntary guests in an evil setting such as Qatar? Shouldn’t evil be combatted one way or another everywhere and every time? Respect for evil is a timid approach, even a cowardly one. Yes, for safety’s sake one might, so to speak, hold his tongue, but this is something far different from respect.
Your turn if you care. Give it a shot.

You’re using the word “respect” in a different sense than I am.
Nevertheless, how do you suggest combating this evil of requiring all females, including visitors, in their country to dress modestly?
BTW, the BBC reported today that liquor and beer restrictions will be tightened notwithstanding what was initially agreed to with the IOC. The IOC shrunk to Qatar’s demands… at the last moment. How do you suggest combating that evil? Take a flask to the stadium? Good luck with that.
If you aren’t willing to follow their laws (i.e. respect them) don’t go there.
Wellington says
One way of combatting evil is to not patronize it. In brief, don’t go to Qatar at all.

Somehow I don’t think that the muslims migrating into Western countries got that memo…

What I wonder is – how many people outside dar ul islam are stupid enough to go to Qatar to view this cup? Even if they are being paid to go there and advertize for the al Thani regime
