It is really unfortunate to see the extent that anyone would go for their own benefits, how an individual would twist the facts and reality of a given situation and direct it to a point whereby a lie is made to represent itself as the truth and the truth would be overturned.
A respectable individual as the President of FIFA should not have made such friable statements, such statements that undermine the authority of FIFA and the authority of many respectable countries around the world.
The most hypocritical statement ever made by an official would never compare to the statement that he has made, whereby slamming back at individuals who criticized Qatar and insisted on stereotyping all the ongoing criticism as made by European citizens, where through his one-hour monologue he stated that.
“I think for what we Europeans have been doing in the last 3,000 years we should be apologizing for the next 3,000 years before starting to give moral lessons to people.”
He may have been persuading himself that this statement actually justifies his position and how Qatar’s corrupted authorities have been enforcing their human rights violations on many over the course of the past cades.
But who said that if others who made mistakes in the past 3000 years that gives the rights to other countries to commit these same atrocities, whoever has learned from his mistakes, would strive to assure that others do not make the same heinous errors, that is why Human Rights laws and regulations have been set after the world war, to guide humanity into a new era, a time where everyone for their acts and everyone should assure that every human being across the globe is served with the innate rights of being born as human with minimum rights.
What Europe may have contributed to inhumane acts in the past, that is in the past, and Europe and all its citizens have come a long way to change how human rights is preserved, and that is why it is not appropriate for an individuals as himself to take a past act and portray to the world that European citizens are at fault and should apologize to the world for the next 3000 years, whereby he called himself as an European, not everyone who holds an European passport is actually a European, it is the belief that he belongs to a certain country and that he will honour that country for all it is and should strive to preserve that country and not smear its reputation.
Today, The Al Thani Council of the Ruling Family, represent the citizens of Qatar and they are advocating against the corruption of the authorities imposed on their State, they would never imply that Qatar or its people are racist, or imposing inhumane acts against anyone, Qatar citizens are well known to be one of the most welcoming and diversified people, for centuries they have embraced many nationalities who lived amongst them peacefully, until their country was bestowed with a gift and a curse at the same time, a gift of natural resource given to the country to flourish and a curse as this natural resource as dragged in corruption and authorities that have been compromised to serve the interest of the few. Sheikha Mozah Bint Nasser Al Missned, for decades has taken advantage of Qatar’s citizens and has financially influenced many around the world to depict her as a fair individual, whereas the truth is that she has been the main source of all inhumane and enslavement of millions of migrant workers in Qatar.
In that moment, during his speech, he didn’t consider the fact that these migrant workers have not been paid for months, and they are unable to quit their jobs, and that they are living in slumps in Qatar.
He didn’t pause for a second to comprehend how Qatar’s corrupted authorities have influenced the decision of keeping Iran’s team during this hosting, Iran who are killing innocent women and children, who are torturing and passing on death penalty to over thousands of their own citizens, and yet FIFA has not considered ousting them from the games, but Russia was an easy decision, and Russia is also the cause of the killing of many innocent citizens in Ukraine.
Is it because he believe that Ukrainians are more valuable as human beings than Iranians, if so, what constitutes as a differentiation between Ukrainians and Iranians, is it the blue eyes and blonde hair of the Ukrainians as one reporter said in the initial time of the crisis, then he might be in for a shock, as most Iranians who are being killed today are individuals who have blue eyes and blonde hair, and both Ukrainian and Iranian are human, they both have the same autonomy, the might be different race, but the same.
Which results in the most important question, why has Iran been allowed to participate when Russia has not, why Qatar’s corrupted authorities been supporting Iran regime of the past decades and through their hundreds of flights that are bound to Iran’s multiple airports every day.
“Qatar’s corrupted authorities have been enslaving millions of migrants, they have detained and tortured their own citizens, they have exiled thousands of their own citizens, they have supported Iran financially and backed them with all their military needs, they have exploited the state’s wealth and resources, they have monetized the health and education sector in Qatar, all these acts have been recorded and confirmed by renowned human rights organizations worldwide, including the United Nations, who for some reason chose not to publicize all their reports, but we all know why, the $ 1 Billion funding to UN’s several programs did the trick of keeping these reports on the low, but the price they paid to the UN is far more less than what they have amassed from these migrants, as yourself have confirmed in your statements, that reforms were not imposed as the profits would have been reduced.
Lastly in your infamous speech, you have indicated that if “Europe would really care about the destiny of these young people, Europe could do as Qatar did, create some legal channels where at least a number, a percentage of these workers could come.
‘We need to give hope to Africans so that they don’t need to cross the Mediterranean in order to find, maybe, a better life but more probably death in the sea.”
Your statement is completely biased, Qatar’s corrupted authorities have done nothing, they have exploited the migrant workers for a very cheap rate, imposed them to live in slumps and enforced them to work hours without pay.
Have you seen a Sri-Lankan/ Qatari national, have you seen an Indian/Qatari National or maybe you have seen an African/Qatari national, none of these migrants are provided with a nationality or citizenship even if they worked and lived in the country for decades, but in Europe, we all see, African/European, Asian/European, Indian/European and every single nationality ever walked this earth has a share of their nationals being provided with a European citizenship.
Have you heard of a Qatar refugee program, have you heard if any of the millions of Syrians who left their countries were ever nationalized in Qatar, Libyans, Iraqis or even to the least Afghanistan, none of these citizens of those countries have ever been provided with a citizenship by Qatar’s corrupted authorities, although all these countries were directly and indirectly affected by Qatar’s corrupted authorities who have for decades financially supported several terror groups that terrorized the world as we know it, every bomb that was dropped in these countries was launched from Qatar.. ….” the Althani Council addressed the FIFA President.
It is a true hypocrisy to see and hear individuals in such responsible positions that would besmirch Europe’s reputation to that level.
In such situation, the Althani council only state to FIFA’s authorities that the given statements are not righteous and do not reflect the truth and that it is advised that FIFA’s authorities apologize to all Europeans and all migrant workers who were affected by these baseless statements.
As the old saying, “people who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones”, that could apply to this situation in a slightly different context, “people who are corrupted to their neck, can only see the ceiling with their reflections”
