Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman al Thani said public displays of affection are banned between heterosexual couples in Qatar - as well as LGBTQ ones

Why you can trust Sky News

Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman al Thani described negative media coverage of the upcoming tournament as"misinformation" in an exclusive interview with Sky News Middle East correspondent Alistair Bunkall."Calling to boycott the World Cup, or those who are not coming to the, it's their decision at the end of the day, but why deprive the people and the public from attending and enjoying the World Cup.

There's been plenty of time to stop this going ahead. Qatar has paid to host it. We all know what that country is like. No point moaning now. Just get it over and done with and move on.

Chinas hoping they can host the next one, perhaps near one of their concentration camps so attendees can get their new iphone on the way out?

Homophobic slavers. What’s arrogant is expecting the world to respect their horrendous and backwards culture.

Fifa are one of the most corrupt organisations around. Public affection banned. 🤦‍♂️

What a miserable existence

So SkySports will of a matter of Principle not be showing any of the WC and banning any of its staff to attend 🤔

Who's bright idea at FIFAcom FIFAWorldCup was is it to hold the World Cup in Qatar again.. but don't worry gnev2 won't.

Which partially explains why he is still single.

But a husband slapping a woman in public is legal. Stoning is also acceptable.

Their country; their culture, their rules.

Religion of peace

You can't cuddle your loved one at the world cup. Is a high five considered a public display of affection.

Well I guess it's their country if you don't like it don't go and this coming from a gay man

I'm pleased to see somebody stands up against LGBTQ bullying. We live in an age where Unless one support LGBTQ has no place in society.

If you can’t respect different culture/religion stay at home and watch it on TV.

Sheikh al Thani you need to allow people to display their feelings only then you will be able to live in a civilized country...☹️

What an absolute load of old cobblrs!

Based

Period

It's there country there rules

But people kiss their friends openly there

All people

Boycott it’s a corrupt World Cup, probably Qatar paid extra to win it

Sheik Mahand never mentioned that at the time of bribing err I mean bidding.

People should be culturally sensitive when travelling. The world is not Europe.

Where is this.... Qatar or North Korea?

🙄, Naah, Giving my wife a cheek peck can't be criminalized

Their country their laws, who's to say they are wrong and we are right?

Wow party central that place… I wonder why no one can accept them as hosts, whilst they suck the joy out of everything & kill many people along the way. Not to mention the stories of corruption around the bid & selection 🤣 Now where is this arrogance, oh yes everyone but them🤔

😂🤣 I bet their will be alot of arrests made then, its going to be an interesting world Cup

What if they are not officially a couple?

❤️ Qatar

🥵

Abide by the rules.

Well said this is their culture who are we to force lgb and all the other shit on them our own country is nothing to be proud of at the moment

Should we not accept and respect that other countries have different views... no matter how bad they seem to us?

I'm not sure how they're going to cope with goal celebrations then.

I just held hands publicly with a guy in Qatar.

But Sheikh Mabooty said it was ok!

Must be a coincide most ministers in Qatar share the same surname as the Emir democracy

Go there for football. If you want to see people making love in the streets, you can watch por-n in your hotel room. Stop making this an issue!

This world cup is filled with 15th century bigots.

The World Cup is always about the legacy what does Qatar have to offer fuck all no major football teams , stadiums that will used to house beaten workers after the cameras have gone home but blatter got his pieces of silver to betray the game it self

Just remember you aren't supposed to have any fun. Then you should be fine.

World Cup 2022: Fed up Qatar wants the criticism to stop - but it's not going to happenQatari foreign minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman al Thani told Sky News, those criticising the World Cup host nation are 'arrogant'. Not everyone has to pander to the self entitled woke western way of life! Self entitled doesn’t touch it! It doesn’t help when Sky Sport are still using that hypocrite Gary Neville, making Sky a co-employer and supporter of him taking Qatari blood money.
