“Immoral People”
The group’s Yemen-based branch accuses Qatar of “a pornographic campaign against the Mohammedan peninsula“. He also criticized the host country for “It brought immoral people, homosexuals, sowers of corruption and atheism to the Arabian Peninsula.“.
However, no threats to carry out attacks or promote violence were announced in connection with the event, the monitoring group said in a statement.
In response to criticism of Qatar’s human rights record, including LGBT rights, World Cup organizers said the event welcomes everyone, regardless of sexual orientation and background.
