Honestly, I have no problem with this guy holding his views, even though I think it isn't right. But, then, why host westerners when you know you're not compatible with their ideas?

Qatar would have continued being a rich, oil-funded state without hosting the World Cup and continue to live in peace with their culture and views on morality. I can see where he's coming from (even though I'm not in agreement)...he doesn't want westerners to enforce their views on Qataris, but why try to enforce yours on them?
