Some people in Qatard are confused.

They actually think that their discrimination of LGBT+ people and women is apart of their "culture" and that any criticism towards them hosting the world cup is the Western world being racist. Honestly, it's the same with Christians in the Western world, people seem to think that culture means their right to discriminate against minorities and any criticism is "but muh culture." Honestly, it's idiotic. No honey, your culture doesn't extend towards taking away rights, that's not how it works.

I also love how some Muslims in Qatar are saying "we don't go to Western countries and tell them what to do." There's like several incidents in which they tell the Western world how to run things like the entire 9/11 incident was based on a hatred of Western ideals which interestingly Christian nationalists have praised Muslim fundamentalist groups for the same reason.

Hello! Idiots.

Sure it is a prt of their culture, but culture isn't an excuse. Just because something is part of a culture doesn't make it acceptable. It's an ignored logical fallacy that it shoul or does.

@MethDozer Well you may be right. I can't put my finger on it but it just seems wrong to say that discrimination is apart of "natural" culture. When I think of culture I think of more like religious holidays, customs things like that. Like Christians have Christmas and Muslims have their holidays, Wiccans have their customs on certain days of the moon. I don't think of things like "I'm against gay people so it's my culture."

@SatanBurger You mention religion. Some of those biases are rooted in religous observation.

@MethDozer That makes sense, I guess culture is really sociological in a sense.. anything can be culture. Still a crappy excuse though, that's kind of like the people who go around spewing hate speech and then yelling about freedom of speech. No one buys that.
