Ever since Qatar won the rights to hold the World Cup 2022 it has become a prick in the eyes of many in the west. There have been waves after waves of attacks on the country through various organizations and the media. It appears that the country has been placed under a microscope with some groups of people across the world who are ever ready to turn even the smallest molehill into a mountain. The attacks began shortly after Qatar won the rights. There was an immediate furor over corruption and shady dealings. I came across a video that was posted at QL under the cover of a "research study" that was supposed to have been carried out by a student. The video portrayed a one-sided negative image of Qatar and all its problems. I had given my reaction to that video pointing out the lies and the open bias it had toward Qatar.This was followed by the issue of high temperatures during the World Cup. Qatar has taken care of that. They are now talking of safety, and worker deaths, and workers living conditions, and workers wages, and workers rights and, and, and... The pattern of attacks is planned, systematized to be carried out a regular intervals, and reflects clearly a nexus of jealous and devilish minds of western nations who are out to create all sorts of impediments and obstructions in the progress taking place in the country to jeopardize this major event. At the end of the day would I watch a World Cup in Qatar in 2022? You bet your boots I would if I am still around in this world. And frankly all football fans would too, whatever the reservations the west may have about the time of the year, or the way the stadiums were constructed, or the number of unfortunate deaths that took place in their construction, or how the workers lived or got paid etc.
