And European countries are significantly worse than Qatar for Muslims.

What’s your point?

Same for you.

Please give the source stating gays in Italy are not fighting for gay marriage to be recognized and they are happy with civil partnership as being equal to straight marriage.

Civil unions are not as much as an alternative to marriage as a wife is and alternative to a gay man’s marriage. These two cannot be equated.

And Italy imprisons people for claiming gay marriage (since they are considered non-genuine). There is no legal alternative.

There has never been a gay marriage punished in Qatar either.

So we can dismiss that one too.

Gay marriage (or any non-genuine marriage) is a breach of art 495 in the Italian penal code.

Funny, because a gay marriage is illegal in Italy, with punishment of up to three years in prison and fines.

It's even the same punishment in Europe.

Being gay is not illegal in Qatar. What is this nonsense.

And Italy's ban on gay marriage is clearly a way to suppress gay people. That's Europe for you.

> person who makes sense

In the US, gay people are getting murdered in the street. The police do nothing since most of them are against gay rights.

Gay marriage is illegal in Italy. "Alternatives" exist in both Italy and Qatar but they don't count.

Most halal food is kosher anyway. Kosher has slightly stricter preparation rules for some ingredients, but if you practice Judaism you know what these are and can avoid them.

White people can be executed for being white in Qatar? Damn I must have missed that news story

Neither can gays get married in many parts of Europe, like Italy.

And halal food practices are illegal in Sweden and Denmark, for example.

It’s the same thing.

Just like they can in churches in Qatar.

It's the same thing.

Christians can’t get married in Qatar? (They absolutely can)

Russia invaded Ukraine and started its genocide in 2014. Four years before it hosted the World Cup.

It's not extremists if they are the presidents of those countries.

I'm not standing up for anyone.

I'm just telling you that Russia is far worse than Qatar.

Not in state Churches, no.

It's the same thing.

If you think gays and Muslims aren't persecuted in white countries then you are obviously white and not gay or Muslim.

They are literally being killed. Just a few hours ago a group of Gays were executed in a bar in America.

This is happening right now.

In the West it's exactly the same except change Muslim with white.

They absolutely believe in human rights.

They don't manage to be worse. Russia is far far worse. Russia is literally running a genocide campaign and has been committing continuous war crimes since at least 2014.

Qatar just isn't running a massive propaganda and brainwashing fake news campaign on the scale that Russia is. They are an easy target for racists and islamophobia.

It's still a step in the right direction from Russia in 2018.

> I don't remember the toxicity during he last World Cup.

Which is ironic because the toxicity should have been a lot worse. The state of Russia is orders of magnitude worse than Qatar.
