Qatar’s pro-terror policies have overshadowed World Cup 2022 amid international warnings that fans maybe vulnerable to acts of terror.
Concerns stem from Yusuf Al-Qaradawi’s widespread influence in Qatar where Hamadein’s Islamist godfather established the basics of terror principles in the 90s.
The death-starved Mufti engaged in hate speech via Qatar’s platforms and his rogue fatwas pushed dozens to carry out suicide bombings.
Investigations have affirmed Tunisia’s bomber was one of his students not to mention that the Boston bombers had frequented a mosque full of his books.
His religious influence in Doha imperils the lives of World Cup 2022 fans because his sincere encouragement of extremism could make the tournament a scene of terror.
FIFA has commented that if the coming World Cup is 48 team tournament then Qatar should seriously consider co-hosting it with one or multiple states, ESPN reported.
The Associated Press obtained a copy of the 81-page report on Monday that assesses the political, logistical and legal issues surrounding adding 16 teams -- a significant change to the format more than eight years after Qatar won the hosting rights. The report was prepared by the governing body so its FIFA Council can agree in principle on expanding the tournament at a meeting in Miami on Friday. A final decision would come in June.
Bahrain, Saudi Arabia and the UAE severed economic, diplomatic and travel ties with Qatar in 2017, which prevents flights between the countries. The study says FIFA accepts that the ongoing political spat prevents their involvement in the tournament. The AP reported last week that FIFA was looking at Kuwait and Oman as options for games in 2022, given their neutrality in the Gulf diplomatic crisis.
