No room for LGBT sympathisers in Qatar – head of security
Abdullah Al Nasari, the head of security at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar has again warned that they will not tolerate anyone who comes into the country to defile the nation.
The nation of Qatar is one of the few countries in the world that stands against the LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender) community.
They host the 2022 Fifa World Cup starting this weekend and there have been serious concerns over the Qatari choice as the host due to their strong stance on the LGBT community. In Qatar, it is not allowed and the nation is not willing to pollute its belief over a 28-day competition, Al Nasari said.
The Three Lions of England were the first team to raise concern over the LGBT issue. England coach Gareth South gate has said: “It would, of course, be a big story, but this tournament would go ahead and the fact is, unfortunately, the biggest issue that is non-religious and noncultural is what happened with the building of the stadiums. There is nothing we can do about that either, sadly.”
Al Nasari has given answers to those who have concerns over their stance on the LGBT community, saying: “If you want to express your views on the LGBT cause, do so in a society where it will be accepted. Do not come and insult an entire society. We will not change the religion for the 28 days of the competition.
“If a fan raises the LGBT flag in a stadium and it is taken away, it will not be because we want to offend him but to protect him. If we don’t, another spectator could attack him. If you buy a ticket, it is to attend a football match and not to demonstrate.”
