Qatar 2022: Sweltering heat, teetotalism and anti-gays?
Posted on Thursday, December 2, 2010 by Bradley King in Sports Blog
December 2nd, 2010 was the date the World Cup 2018 bid team had been waiting for—decision day in Zurich. David Beckham showed his pretty face, David Cameron smarmed up proceedings and even Prince William took time away from planning his wedding to try and help England over the finishing line.
Even Eddie Afekafe, a backstreet good-for-nothing chap turned Manchester City ‘social inclusion manager’, was drafted in to give the FIFA delegates the grassroots factor angle. Allegations of corruption in FIFA were forgotten. The presentation was flawless. Football was surely coming home.

The 11-Year-Old Yemeni Girl Who Pleaded With Her Parents in Viral Video Not to Marry Her Off Is Being Called a Liar and Facing Death Threats
Aug. 1, 2013 7:53am Sharona Schwartz
TheBlaze reported last week about a video that had gone viral of an 11-year-old Yemeni runaway pleading with her parents not to force her into an underage marriage. Since her recording became public – with more than 8 million people having viewed the English subtitled version alone – Nada Al-Ahdal has faced death threats from Islamists, has moved into a women’s shelter for her protection and has had an on-camera confrontation with her parents who say the girl’s story is false.
"I’m better off dead. I’d rather die," the girl said at the time, accusing her parents of plotting to marry her off for financial profit, a common practice in a country filled with child brides.

This week, a CNN crew visited Nada in the Yemeni capital Sana’a and found an emotional family drama that played out while the camera was rolling.
The network reports that Yemen’s interior ministry appointed President of the Yemen Women’s Union Ramzia Al-Eryani as her temporary legal guardian until the dispute with her family could be settled.
CNN describes the family drama as beginning when Al-Eryani took Nada’s parents and her uncle aside, saying: "If you love her, save her childhood. … You all are adults — you all know what’s best for her — but we need to protect this child."

A reflection of the conservative society, both the girl’s parents and the women’s rights activist are seen in CNN’s report dressed in traditional Yemeni and Muslim garb, with Al-Eryani’s head covered in a hijab and wearing long sleeves in the middle of the summer and the mother covered from head to toe in a black burqa with only her eyes showing.
.
Nada then entered the room and was asked if her story was made up.
In tears, Nada asked the mediator Al-Eryani, "Why do you believe them and don’t believe me?"

"I don’t care about what’s best for the mom or dad or uncle," Al-Eryani told CNN, "just what’s best for the girl."
Nada is now facing death threats from hardline Islamists concerned her case will push forward legislation to criminalize child marriage.
In a telephone interview with Al-Hurra TV translated by the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI), her uncle, Abd Al-Salam Al-Ahdal, said that Islamist groups connected to the Muslim Brotherhood "want Nada to disappear, along with the entire problem."
"They have threatened Nada and me more than once. They told us that our lives were in danger and that we would end up in prison," he added.

As a result, Nada had moved into a women’s shelter for her protection. "I hope that Nada receives protection or that she leaves Yemen temporarily, until this crisis calms down," her uncle said. While CNN reported that she had moved into a shelter, the network did not mention that Islamists had threatened her.
It’s unclear if the girl or her parents are telling the truth. What we can report is that child marriage is a real issue in Yemen, where according to Human Rights Watch more than half of all girls are married before age 18.
Al Jazeera reports that two Yemeni human rights groups "involved in the case" Seyaj and the Yemeni Women Union say part of Nada’s story is false. Al Jazeera reports that both groups say the family had been approached about a suitor for the girl and had refused.
But Yemeni children’s television personality Ziad Abdul-Jabbar who according to Al Jazeera recorded and uploaded the video of Nada insists that the girl’s account is true. He knows her, because she regularly appears on his program, which explains her confident, on-camera presence.

Liesl Gerntholtz, director of the Women’s Rights Division at Human Rights Watch, tells CNN, "The consequences of child marriage are devastating and long-lasting — girls are removed from school, their education permanently disrupted, and many suffer chronic health problems as a result of having too many children too soon…It is critical that Yemen takes immediate and concrete steps to protect girls from these abuses, including setting a minimum age of marriage."
Yemeni journalist Hind Aleryani tells CNN that child marriage is more common in poorer communities in Yemen. "There is a proverb, a Yemeni saying: ‘Marry an 8-year-old girl, she’s guaranteed,’ which means the 8-year-old girl is surely a virgin. It’s a disgusting saying and inhumane, but it’s said by everyone and it’s very well-known," Aleryani says.
In CNN’s report, Nada tells her parents that what she mostly wants is to stay in the capital city and get a better education.
"In the countryside, there’s no English classes, there’s no computer classes…please let me stay in Sanaa and study here," she said.
CNN reports that at the end of the meeting, her parents and uncle decided they would move in together into another relative’s house in Sana’a to try to work out the issue. The adults are seen signing and fingerprinting a document committing to the agreement.

FIFA Chief Sepp Blatter: If Gays Fear Qatar’s Homophobic Laws, They Should Abstain During World Cup
With Qatar being awarded the 2022 FIFA World Cup, there’s warranted furor over the Arab nation’s on-going criminalization of homosexuality, where same-sex relations can land you in jail for five years. So what does FIFA President Sepp Blatter suggest gay athletes and fans should do during the tournament? Abstain.
If soccer is a sport that’s supposedly intent on ridding homophobia from the fields, why did Qatar — which makes being gay, or at least "behaving gay," a crime — get FIFA’s approval? Not because of money, insists Blatter. And if gays don’t want to be sent to prison in Qatar, they should simply keep things zipped up, says Blatter with a smile. "They should refrain from any sexual activities," he told reporters in Johannesburg. Such sage advice!
But it’s not like Blatter wants gays to simply not go. "It’s another culture and another religion, but in football we have no boundaries," he insists. "We open everything to everybody and I think there shall not be any discrimination against any human beings, being on this side or that side, left or right or whatever. Football is a game that does not affect any discrimination. You may be assured … if people want to watch a match in Qatar in 2022, they will be admitted to matches."
Qatar (and Russia) were selected to host future World Cups during a Dec. 2 vote, and this is the first time Blatter has addressed public outrage of effectively endorsing homophobic nations. Something tells me his suggestion won’t go over well.

CANADA LOVES OUR LATIN AMERICAN COUNTRIES- and they love us- Pope Francis so inspires
Baird heading out on seven-country, Latin America trip
by The Canadian Press on Sunday, July 28, 2013 6:46am - 2 Comments
Mcleans Canada (remember this is a pro liberal party magazine)
OTTAWA – Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird begins a two-week trip to Latin America today, where he’ll visit seven countries.
Baird’s office says he’ll visit Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Colombia, Chile, Paraguay, Uruguay and Brazil to meet with foreign ministers and business leaders.
The trip comes on the heels of questions about where Latin America ranks on the Harper government’s priority list.
In this month’s cabinet shuffle, Prime Minister Stephen Harper eliminated a junior minister portfolio that was responsible for relations with Latin America.
Critics and experts say the move signalled an end to the Harper government’s strategy of developing free-trade deals with big economies in the region.
But Baird said last week he’ll take the lead in Canada’s relations with Latin America and stressed that part of the world remains a priority for Canada.
Baird says his visit is proof of that.
Jean Daudelin, a Latin American affairs expert at Ottawa’s Carleton University, says the government has negotiated free trade with some nations in the region, and the ones it hasn’t reached deals with – like Brazil and Argentina – are not interested.
Baird points to agreements with Peru and Colombia as signs of the inroads Canada has made.
