The bottom line is can Qatar conform to international standards when it comes to providing a safe and fair accommodation for all match goers, and do they even WANT to? Is the culture even able to tolerate the notion that locals, Westerners, other Arabs or families don't deserve to be treated any differently from single Asian men?
I don't think it is and I also don't think people care to challenge the status quo. FIFA needs to take notice. But again, I don't think it will. How ironic will it be that South Africa pulled off a WC without apartheid and if Qatar wins the bid they will likely host the first WC under apartheid.
