Trying to imagine the response from the British political class if it was another minority faith community who were locked inside their place of worship as bigots threatened them.
But it’s Muslims… so… who cares!
When Russia hosted the World Cup in 2018, it had to suspend normal visa rules for the tournament. Foreigners with tickets could enter visa-free, using a scheme called ‘Fan ID.’
Russia also had to do weird stuff to keep FIFA’s sponsors happy. For example, small shops near Fan Zones and stadiums could only sell Budweiser beer on match days.
So yes, FIFA absolutely does dictate conditions to host governments when it suits FIFA. Infantino pretending otherwise is nonsense.
Shey the Orange turd in the white house said he sent troops into Nigeria to Dave Christians, why can't thode ones help the military catch these terrorists who are kidnapping and killing Nigerians, or that one no concern them.

Crime is now being viewed through an entirely racialised lens – but only when the perpetrators aren't white.
When Chas Corrigan stabbed a Saudi student to death, or Paul Doyle mowed down Liverpool fans, white people didn't have to fear being a target of collective retaliation.
This is what they do, they cast aspersions and create false narrative to justify their racist acts, and when you ask for proofs, they say “we can divulge that information”, or tell you it’s still under investigation, and they wouldn’t want to jeopardize that”

Victoria Derbyshire, "What is he seeking to do?"
Mehdi Hasan, "He's seeking to embolden some of the worst far right voices in the Western world"

"This is his agenda. It's a very racist agenda. We see that in the US with the Republican party"
"Elon Musk amplifies some of the most neo-nazi voices on Twitter"
"You can take the boy out of apartheid South Africa, can you take apartheid South Africa out of the boy?"
All the people that had so much to say about Qatar 4 years ago, are suddenly silent about the USA. All Qatar did was ask the world to respect its culture.
The USA is violating every professional and ethical rule that governs the sport and everyone is silent.
