Qatar’s Energy Minister Saad Sharida al-Kaabi is angry at Germany following comments made by Germany’s economics minister Robert Habeck over the World Cup. Habeck “claimed corruption explained why Qatar was hosting the football World Cup.” Habeck was right. Former CIA officer Kevin Chalker is now under scrutiny by the FBI for interfering in the selections process for the 2022 FIFA World Cup Games, undermining what should have been a fair process.
Qatar is also offended by Western criticism of its Sharia implementation during the World Cup — how dare anyone criticize Islam. That implementation included:
- The banning of cooked kosher food and Jewish prayers.
- The threat to female fans that they might find themselves in jail if not dressed “properly.”
- The banning of beer.
- The requirement to download data-tracking spyware.
Also:
- Qatar’s envoy to the UN called Jews ‘our enemies,’ and called down the curse of Allah on homosexuals.
- Five Australian women, among others, are suing Qatar over forced airport humiliating exams at gunpoint.
The list goes on. Qatar expected Western dhimmis to comply with Islamic laws. And there was no widespread boycott. Qatar has seen a way to manipulate weak infidels into compliance. Recently, Tony Blair slammed critics of Qatar, because Qatar “gives us money.” Western countries ruled by the globalist weak agenda will be increasingly enslaved by Islamic and communist countries.
“This is what the Qatar minister says about the Habeck bow,” translated from “Das sagt der Katar-Minister über den Habeck-Knicks,” by Paul Ronzheimer, Bild, November 30, 2022:
It is probably the most explosive interview of the World Cup!
On Tuesday morning, Qatar’s Energy Minister Saad Sharida al-Kaabi (55) signed a gas deal with Germany: starting in 2026, Qatar will supply Germany with two million tons of LNG liquefied gas every year. Shortly thereafter, BILD met the minister for an interview.
He raises serious allegations against Economics Minister Robert Habeck (53, Greens), and attacks Germany and the West – and says that his country will never accept homosexual people.
This is what the Qatar minister says about…
► … the late start of delivery: “As you know, there is no terminal in Germany. A new one is currently being built.” Meaning: The LNG terminal in Brunsbüttel (Schleswig-Holstein).
► … more gas deals: “We will deliver as much as we get orders.” Is there a maximum quantity? “Not really.” Qatar is building “the largest fleet of ships in the world” to export its liquefied natural gas.
► … the statement by Economics Minister Habeck that hosting the World Cup in Qatar “can only be explained by corruption”: “If you accuse someone of corruption, you have to show evidence. You are legally liable if you say that someone is corrupt.” Habeck should “have more respect for Qatar and the Qatari people.”
► …meeting Habeck in the summer. Did the German minister address the human rights situation, e.g. poor working conditions of guest workers, rights of sexual minorities? Al-Kaabi: “When he was here in Qatar, the only thing he talked about was whether we could deliver more gas.”
BUT: When asked by BILD, Habeck had a spokeswoman contradict: Habeck “also discussed the issue of human rights and social values” in Qatar.
► … the famous Knicks photo: “I don’t like the photo because it shows Mr. Habeck bowing to me. That was not the case at all.” The minister “came into the room and wanted to say hello”. Al-Kaabi was on the phone and I “didn’t know” whether there were any special customs when greeting people.
The German minister did not bow. “It looks like he’s bowing to me, but he didn’t do that at all and it’s wrong to show him like that.”
► … the Greens: Qatar has “been trying to bring gas to Germany for years”. Because of the “green pressure”, Germany wanted “no LNG and no gas” in the past few years. Now the federal government has “made a 180-degree turn” because of the Ukraine war.
► … the rights of gay people – because homosexuality is a punishable offense in Qatar, there is a risk of imprisonment or even death: “If you want to visit Qatar, we have no problem with that. They attend the World Cup and we have no problem with that.” BUT: “As Muslims, we believe that LGBTQ* is not acceptable in our religion.” Islamic law does not accept LGBTQ.
► … the power of Islam: “There are a billion Muslims all over the world.” And: “You cannot change a billion people. (…) We are proud of our religion.”
► … Criticism of the brutal discrimination against homosexuals, which is voiced in Germany, among others: “The West says that we as Qataris have to change. That we need to change our religion, our beliefs, and do what they think is right: fully accept LGBTQ. Where is my human right to choose what I want for my religion, my country, my children and my family?” The West wants to “dictate what it wants” to Qatar….

Oh Germany! Who will they offend or placate – Russia or Qatar? Maybe if they took their energy policies seriously instead of playing to the Green gallery, they wouldn’t be in this predicament
david1508 says
Remember the video of Trump telling Germany if they keep relying on Russian gas they were going to get into big trouble? All the German officials listening starting snickering & laughed it off. Well, they aren’t laughing now are they.Trump was right.

The bleeding heart uber Liberals in the Western World seem to accept some turban headed muslim in Berlin saying awful things about Gay folks and we must accept all of that for the sake of diversity, however in an actual islamic Nation these same bleeding heart uber liberals demand that Qatar change their Laws regarding homosexuality when the country is ruled by the Laws of their religious book.
So we, in the West, have no right whatsoever to tell people in other countries how they should operate their Nations but somehow we are supposed to bow down to muslim when they come to The West…
The contradiction of these bleeding heart morons is truly amazing.
