I didn't see any of the bids. I am talking about the comments on the front page of Daily Mirror.
It says: "Qatar - Medieval kingdom with no freedom of speech". It was so expected from Europe and the USA to go with that. Attack the barbarian Muslims who should never win something when we're competing for it.
The media pushes these thesis, the general public buys it and we hate the "inferior dirty Muslims who still live in the middle ages and stone their women" even more.
You should be against it, imo.

I'm against these sentences of course, but I'm against the Qatari bid because of other reasons.
Mainly, those like you who felt it was a suitable time that the Middle East should host an event like this after all these years. Qatar is just the wrong place. The ruling family there treats people in the same way King Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette treated their people. It will be their own personal event. People in the Arab world will not have the chance to make use of this event. It will just show that these events are just for rich people. Do you feel World Cup should be like that?

Neither a European paper calls them dirty Muslims. It calls them a medieval kingdom with no freedom of speech but you and I both know how will the average and less educated American or European interpret it.
The first thing I read today after the hosts were announced was an article on yahoo written by an American. It used lighter words that also said how those medieval Arabs got it ahead of us, when we are so superior to them and our infrastructure and everything else is second to none.

I know that for you this is important, but for me, sorry, it makes no difference and I really don't care. I will watch it on TV most probably and it won't make any difference to me if it was Qatar, Spain, UAE or France. I did prefer Qatar ahead of their rivals solely for the time zone.
What I do mind is how, just like with South Africa, We in Europe and America act as if we have a God given right to be superior to the rest and how we must win and the rest must lose.
Nick is still young and a little naive, he will surely change and become a good man, but read his comments and you will see that it's the society talking through him. The society that despises those inferior races and countries.

Qatari woman being sexually discriminated etc.

You have a point. But what I was talking is that we, as Arab people, will not make use of this event, and it will for sure be full of songs and dances with swords for the Sheikh and his gang making the Arabs look like idiots who worship that junky person. IMO currently, no one Arab country should host an event like this because it will be used as a chance to glorify our Noble leaders, nothing more nothing less. When we have free democratic countries, we may go for such events.
As you want.
I'm not the one talking about Les Miserables here.
you've already mentioned Zionism in the other thread, so let's not pretend you're main concern is
the common man and how he'll watch the football.
