To be fair, I don’t think human right to life and liberty is religious based. Now, if you wanna point out hypocrisy of one peoples cries for human rights conflicting with their own history(ie slavery, Jim Crow, genocide, etc.) that’s another discussion, but in the Middle East it’s not even much of a debate, it’s not that they’re trying to cover up dirty past injustices like the west does, the Middle East is pretty much leading the modern world in the “oppress human rights” category, and they are the ones who use religion to do so.
The issue to me isn’t that Qatar is doing wrong, the issue is that fifa are a bunch of honorless whores
I do not think I have ever heard a story about FIFA that did not have me go "these guys are a bunch of old corrupt pieces of trash and their organization should be disbanded and the members of it locked in prison". They are so openly corrupt that I am just stunned by the fact that the rest of the world just lets them exist because if half these countries pulled out they cease to be relevant.
