Being gay is 'damage in the mind', Qatar World Cup ambassador says

[Dalit]

I just think these westerners are pissed at Qatar not bending to their political correctness and tantrums
All religions forbid homosexuality but these ‘christians’ don’t wanna follow theirs. Yet they quick to celebrate thanksgiving and xmas

No. It won't be one big sex fest this time around. They certainly got that right.

Two weeks before the football tournament begins in the Gulf state, former Qatari footballer Khalid Salman said being gay is "haram".

An ambassador for the World Cup in Qatar has described homosexuality as "damage in the mind".

Two weeks before the football tournament begins in the Gulf state, former Qatari footballer Khalid Salman told a German public broadcaster being gay is "haram", or forbidden in Arabic.

In excerpts of the television interview shown on ZDF's news programme Heute Journal, Mr Salman said he has a problem with children seeing gay people.

Mr Salman went on to say homosexuality "is spiritual harm".

"During the World Cup, many things will come here to the country. Let's talk about gays," Mr Salman said in English, which was simultaneously dubbed into German in the TV segment.


"The most important thing is, everybody will accept that they come here. But they will have to accept our rules," he added.

When asked why it was haram, Mr Salman said: "I am not a strict Muslim but why is it haram? Because it is damage in the mind."

Interview cut short

The interview was immediately cut short by a press officer of the World Cup organising committee after Mr Salman described being gay as "damage in the mind", ZDF reported.

Around 1.2 million international visitors are expected in Qatar for the month-long tournament, which has been criticised ever since the gas-rich emirate was selected as host by Fifa in December 2010.

There have been concerns about the conservative country's treatment of homosexuals living in the country as well as LGBTQ tourists attending the World Cup.

World Cup organisers did not immediately respond to Sky News' request for comment.

Labour's shadow sports minister Jeff Smith said the onus was now on the World Cup organisers to condemn the comments.

"They need to say this person doesn't represent us, doesn't represent the ethos and the manner in which the World Cup is meant to be run, and say LGBT people, along with all other people, are welcome," he told BBC Radio 4's World at One.

Robbie de Santos from LGBT group Stonewall said he was surprised but not shocked by the views.

"It is shocking to hear such comments in the run up to what should be an absolutely joyous, inclusive, global celebration. Such a divisive comment is just really, really hard to hear," he said.

"I think that the tournament is going to happen, people are going to watch it, but it is going to be really uneasy for so many people to watch a tournament which has just been mired in so much controversy."

Calls for boycott

There have been calls for people to boycott the World Cup due to Qatar's stance on gay rights.

Opposition leader Sir Keir Starmer has said he and his Labour colleagues will not attend.

Foreign Secretary James Cleverly was accused of being "shockingly tone-deaf" last month after he urged LGBT football fans to be "respectful" of Qatar if they visit the country for the World Cup.

The Gulf state's foreign minister told Sky News those criticising the tournament are "arrogant".

"Preaching from a distance is not a solution," said Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman al Thani.

"Calling to boycott the World Cup, or those who are not coming to the World Cup, it's their decision at the end of the day, but why deprive the people and the public from attending and enjoying the World Cup."

LGBT Qataris arrested and abused, rights group claims

It comes after a Human Rights Watch (HRW) report claimed security forces in Qatar have been arbitrarily arresting and abusing LGBT Qataris recently.

HRW said it had interviewed six LGBT Qataris, including four transgender women, one bisexual woman and one gay man, who reported being detained between 2019 and 2022.

They said they had been detained without charge in an underground prison in Doha and subjected to verbal and physical abuse, including kicking and punching.

One individual said they were held for two months in solitary confinement.

I am enjoying this confrontation. As the world cup is nearing the vitriol and hate campaign is set to intensify further. You have one side trying to impose its Western values onto the other side. The question is, how far is Qatar willing to go to accommodate the European demands?

Qatari's be like...

I have a feeling they chose Qatar just to keep the rift going with Arabs. Did they not already know all Arab countries have issues with women, gays, labor rights?

They knew. According to the Europeans and the Americans Qatar bribed FIFA officials to win the bid. One little sidenote, the Americans were in the second place. The Europeans and Americans were hoping that the US would win the bid.

Now let me do my Indian imitation.

Uptill 1980s the official medical manual of psychiatry DSM II also describes it as Brian problem untill the woke and cancel culture took over during the aids pandemic and sexual revolution

 

[gambit]

Absolutely

God created Adam and Eve not Adam and Steve.

True Christians, Muslims and Jews should unite and fight this woke bullshit rather than fighting one another.

The fallen nature of Man made possible the 'Adam and Steve' relationship. True Christians, Muslims, and Jews would love them despite their sinful relationships.

Qatar hosting the World Cup a 'mistake', says Blatter

FIFA's former president Sepp Blatter says picking Qatar as host of World Cup is a "bad choice" that he was responsible for.

www.abc.net.au

I always was, they're trying to normalise their sick BS gender pronouns, introduce and brainwash kids to think it's okay which spreads their cult into kids, lower the masculinity of a nation.

Weak men cause the downfall of societies, nothing else.

The fallen nature of Man made possible the 'Adam and Steve' relationship. True Christians, Muslims, and Jews would love them despite their sinful relationships.

Fallen nature of man made murder, pedophila, theft etc possible, doesn't mean we should embrace it.

Sexual attraction could be adjusted by a positive feedback loop, don't let anyone fool you. That's why some people are even attracted to animals.

Personally I don't give a shit if people do it privately, but don't try to normalise it or introduce this subject to kids.

Thousands of Pakistanis Indians & Bangladeshi lost there lives building these stadiums for the Arabs to host the World Cup .

Where’s the justice for them ? Anyone anywhere spoken up

The first line involves other people and are nonconsensual, so we can rule them out. But your last statement is significant. If two gay men (or women) does what they do in private, why does it matter if it is 'normalise' or not? You cannot force someone to turn be homosexual. So if society somehow 'normalise' homosexuality, no way would it make a statistical spike. By not criminalizing homosexuality, we are past the 50/50 threshold in normalizing homosexuality.

You truly can turn someone gay, you introduce him to the concept at a young age or sexually frustrate him e.g
by putting him in jail.

Give me a kid at a young enough age and I could convince him he's a snail.

You can brainwash anyone with positive and negative feedback loops (e.g. ****, movies and books for positive, punishment for negative), and the earlier it happens, the less informed the kid is, the less capability to judge whether what he's watching is normal or not, the easier it is to brainwash.
