A Qatar World Cup ambassador has called homosexuality «damage in the mind», in an interview days before the start of the competition.
The former Qatar international Khalid Salman told German broadcaster ZDF that LGBTQ+ people attending the tournament should «accept our rules».
Homosexuality is illegal in Qatar because it is deemed to be immoral under Islamic Sharia law
Salman said: “You know what haram [forbidden] means? I am not a strict Muslim but why is it haram? Because it is damage in the mind.»
Qatar has faced longstanding criticism for its human rights record, with many people questioning whether it is an acceptable venue for the World Cup competition.

frustrating seeing these lgb whatever t&q , forcing the world to their stupid needs of acceptance , accept and respect places y'all ain't invited
When in Qatar do as the Qataris do.
Just dont wear a pride flag there and you'll be good.
You knew years ago and now on the eve of the World Cup I have to be offended. Let's make it a misery
& this is Anti-Shemite! Arabs are the children of Ishmâël Abraham first Born Son & are Shemites !
The Title should have been " Sodomites controversy against Qatar "
Stop using psychological warfare on the ignorant!
Damn Westerners don't understand. Respect and obey other countries rules
you have to respect our values like you obligate us respecting your privacies and laws
We stand with Qatar
It is better not to host a world cup, if it is with homosexuality.
Homosexuality is totally unacceptable (Haram).
All this because Qatar doesn't support a particular behavior.
Why BiG DeAL??? BBC make it worrssttt..
Go Visit, watch football & back to your country…
Easy & everyone HAPPY ❤️
Such pathetic news 😵💫🙄😒
Westerners discovering islam in the comments. Lol.
Haram is illegal 😉
We've forgotten that this is another country where there laws apply to you when you enter no Matter who you are
its amazing. its amazing people still support fifa after all the game rigging, cheating, money laundering for drug cartels and other crimes they commit on a daily basis.
how about bbc takes a stand. no reporting and no hosting anymore fifa associated events?
Their Country Their Rules
If BBC And Western Media Really Care About Human Rights Then Where Were They When Russia Was Killing Innocents In Syria By Missiles And Bombs But Still Hosting A WC
The Propaganda Is All About That A Tiny Arab Country Is Hosting A World Cup And It'll Get Global Attention For Tourism & Festivals
Just like foreigners entering countries like the US or UK, they have to adapt and respect the culture. Same applies for visiting a Muslim country. No one should ever change their religion and laws.
2026 world cup let's see what happens. I will bring a containers of coacine and Ice. Under free trade between America and my country. Let's stop this kind of staffs. Let's respect every culture and enjoy watching the games. Qatar deserves more respect from western countries. Stop double standards.
Let's see if American will accept drug trackficing. Just helping drug addiction for human rights free drugs in America.
So, read your bible

Good Blees Kanye West And Kyrie🇵🇸🇺🇸
Free Palestine From Terror And Appartheid And Zionism Facism…🇮🇷🇵🇸🇮🇷🇵🇸🇮🇷🇵🇸🇮🇷🇵🇸🇮🇷🇵🇸🇮🇷🇵🇸🇮🇷🇵🇸
EU ZIONISM and Hollywood are so racist it's crazy yes even in the year 2022. I can tell you they are scrapping human rights. I can tell you that in the EU, war refugees are not welcome if they are from Muslim countries or Africa, as the West itself has bombed those countries for several decades.. But if they are from Ukraine, they are ready with diapers and wet wipes and a warm home immediately. .?? In my human heart that Zionists do not have!! is it downright disgusting, inhumane, double standard and hypocritical but YES THAT'S HOW YOU ARE….
And not least all of you others known and unknown who DARE TO SPEAK FREELY ABOUT THE TRUTH YOU ARE ALL HEROES❤❤.
don't let them break you them with NO SOUL! and no human rights in them.. Their freedom of speech is only what THEY like to hear not what's on our hearts..??
Free Palestine🇵🇸❤️ From Terror And Appartheid and Zionism Facism…🤲🏻🤲🏻✌🏻✌🏻🤲🏻🤲🏻✌🏻✌🏻
PEACE TO REAL HUMANS..❤❤️🤲🏻🤲🏻✌🏻✌🏻 PEACE TO REAL HUMANS
fuck you western people
These lgbtq community. What are their intentions to be in Qatar? To enjoy the World Cup or to create trouble?
Cant wait for the world cup to be held in France to see how world reacts to its ban on head scarf and hijab
Not Qatars fault that people are gay.
Stop blaming them.
i wonder if prostitution is OK,,,, all those migrant workers on there day off ( away from their wives ) what do they do when the want to have sex??
Respect our culture! Say the Qataris. In the West , that’s exactly what we do… live and let live. USA had a black president, with Kenyan roots. The UK has a Hindu prime minister now. We have gays who have become state governors in the USA. It’s about respecting all people, no matter their religion, or skin color, or sexual orientation.
The West is so desperate to be Gays, pretty soon they will want the rest of of us to sleep with a dog, as they are doing so and why they don't keep themselves within their own country and not to travel, do businesses or mingle with the rest of the world. The rest of the world does not like the west….
Players who score at the WC, should kiss their teammates on the lips to celebrate. 😉😂
I still remember all those women flying Qatar Airways being subjected to an invasive strip search at Qatar Airport,….. what a barbaric race of people.
Qatar against homosexuality,………yet it is okay to love your camel!
How dare they expect people to respect their rules!!!
Extreme left wings. Let this be a Realisation to you.
I work in Qatar 2016 to 2018 that time I see how's Qatar and Qatari nationality local people.. they don't give any value for foreign workers.. they think are are Rich other people are poor.. digesters 😡😡
🔴How many Countries are against the laws of Qatar concerning LGBTIQ.? You will discover that 90% of the Countries in this World are standing with Qatar on this issue. Check it!
The World Cup is more than just sport. It shouldn’t be held in Qatar where human rights are poor.
