Qatar’s World Cup ambassador: Homophobic statements ‘taken out of context’ Zuckerberg clear: Facebook group Meta fires 11,000 employees

World Cup ambassador Khalid Salman sees his homophobic statements taken out of context.
Qatari World Cup ambassador Khalid Salman sees his homophobic statements in the ZDF documentary “Geheimsache Qatar” “taken out of context”.

The 60-year-old responded on Twitter on Wednesday, also writing that “everyone” is welcome in Qatar, “but our culture and religion will not change for the World Cup”.

The statement that homosexuals suffered “mental damage” caused massive criticism, especially in Germany. For example, Bayern Munich midfielder and World Cup participant for Germany, Leon Goretzka, was critical and described Salman’s statements as “absolutely unacceptable”.

The World Cup organizing committee and FIFA have not yet commented on the statements. Salman is one of ten ‘local’ World Cup ambassadors. (con/sda/apa/dpa)
