That’s how countries show that they’re not okay with something. Punishment. I can list you a number of things that Muslims are not allowed to do in Europe and US, and they get punished/expelled if they do it. Why is this in any way different than what Qatar is doing? Each person has their boundaries, and each country has it’s rules. This is life as we know it.

That doesn’t mean said rules deserve respect. Never going to respect active discrimination

That’s also life as we know it. Respect is earned. Not defaulted to.

Plenty of countries have done all kinds of evil things. They don’t deserve respect for them just bc they’re a country.

The world has the freedom to judge Qatar for its actions. No ones owed respect by default hiding behind “culture”. Remember, Qatar invited this spotlight on themselves, if they didn’t want criticism than don’t invite the world to your country.

I’d also argue whatever things Muslims are punished for doing in Europe/USA also shouldn’t be respected. (Assuming it doesn’t harm anyone)Pretty simple

A number of things ?

List ONE that isn't inherently illegal to begin with.

Modern countries will let you practice your faith freely, while also letting you be whoever you are.

Sure you won't be able to legally marry several women in my country but you can still totally legally be in a relationship with as many people as you want. Also lets be honest, how often is polygamy actually an equal partnership ? Most countries that still allow polygamy are severely patriarchic and only allow men to have several wives but certainly not vice versa while also stripping women of most if not all their rights (freedom, education, jobs, voting, driving, etc.)

I fully support not allowing such a barbaric form of quasi slavery.

[EDIT] Btw lets not put Europe or any modern country in one pot with the US since most states are literally third world countries by every measure used to define said status. The US has long ceased to be a beacon of freedom and is barely functioning at this point.

Aka my non argument (and closet bigotry) isn't leading anywhere and I'll walk away before I dig myself an even deeper hole?

If you actually want to see how much crazy shit Qatar has done / is still doing, go watch John Oliver's segment on the World Cup..
