Human Rights and Doha 2016 - Justification
How can a country bid for Olympics 2016 and how can you do a display of millions of dollar fireworks when your labor camps are full of human rights violation?!?
West can for sure play a positive role, if they are really genuine in their human rights efforts. Let’s not blame Islam for everything and let’s not blame US either for all our problems.
Problem is at home!
Let’s recognize that the problem is in our intention and hearts. We have HIV in our hearts!
None are Muslims – neither extremist nor such moderate who have arranged a multibillion dollar show on chornich and on the other hand kept themselves intentionally unaware of their labor camps. Are they really unaware!?! It would be a joke to even think this. But then they are really UNAWARE of the reality!
Would anyone ever ask how many local women performed in the show on Thursday?
What is really women rights status here? And how local women are treating their laborers, workers, and slaves?
Why we stop poor labors on Eid day from going to shopping malls and public places?
Why we still have exit permits in 21st century?
And then why Olympics should be brought here?
Free your slaves, citizens, and guest works and the World we give you the OLYMPICS –
But then who cares about the Olympics if we are so mature? All we have to do - is to provide a green patch for our children to play. All children – no classes – no colors – no races.
Today’s majority human practices have nothing to do with any religion.
We have a problem as a society. I am not worried about others. Let’s recognize and fix it among ourselves for our own children for our own future. Let’s take one step, so that they can move to the next.
Let’s not spend billions again on another fake game show. Let’s get recognized as human rights champions, if you really want respect, prestige and power forever.
But then history dictates it will never happen!
We will not wake up.
We will continue looking into the wrong direction waiting for someone else to come and do the real job.
That’s bring frustration in the society who can not do much or does not have the capacity to think much or does not have much to lose.
Good Luck. God bless those who are the victim of our psychological complexes and greed.
May we stay save with kind hearts.
Just so this doesn't degenerate too much. If you want to have a serious discussion about this without all the abuse and insults please start a new thread.

I did try my best to make her understand earlier but Mrs. is still the same. She does not want to listen to anyone or for that matter she does not want to learn too...Its like striking my head with a wall
..**.. ""They walk among us. They vote & they even reproduce"" ..**..
I think all those documentaries we've been watching all these years about the Holocaust and other things that happened in the past... were all fabricated.. according to your post
Please direct your comment to the source ie. MRS.
I thought this forum is for Human rights and Qatar Olympic's and see what we have done to it.. it's become a holocaust issue.
Person: Just for ur your information.. holocaust is a holocaust.. in any and every holocaust its the humans that suffer.. whether its America doing in Janpan... or in Germany or anywhere.. you cannot say most of them were using ordinary weapons... holocaust cannot be right or wrong / small or big etc etc.. holocaust is simply HOLOCAUST..
..**.. ""They walk among us. They vote & they even reproduce"" ..**..
Quoting Mrs: "You are reading the fabricated side of history. The ONLY holocaust I know happened in Japan, by the Americans. Others are just ordinary world wars with ordinary casualties, using ordinary weapons."
Ho hum...some of us might beg to differ...
Guys Guys....
I have missed a great deal in between last few hrs. But I guss by glancing through your comments is the same as I have communicated through this forum about 3 - hrs back and that is she needs to learn english and I have even given her a name of the institute also....
Now I think she also needs history lessons also. Have to find and give her the institute's name of histrory too.
Mrs. ILLITRATE (it's my addition to her name) wants to prove one wrong done centuries ago anywhere in the world is right if it is repeated.
..**.. ""They walk among us. They vote & they even reproduce"" ..**..
I have to give it to you though.. you manage to stay away from the issues of Human rights and why Qatar should not have the 2016 Olympics... I'm still betting for Japan...
well well. pls dont argue on turkey. lets make it clear. us had weapons in turkey against soviets in cold war days. us army were even listening moscow over turkey:)
but now. things changed. us army is in iraq and supporting kurds to make a state there (it can be a long topic why). and bec there are many kurds in southeast of turkey, turkey wants to stop that. like many times in the past our soldiers want to go northern iraq and stop terrorists passng turkey and attacking. in the past we were always getting help from barzani forces. and u know what.. he was travelling world with turkish passport:D and asking turkey to make them a state of us. but now dunno why and how things changed and he is not saying good words against turkey:)
anyway. just wanted to say what mrs. first said are different from what it came in last posts. and a short summary to the sit. now from my side.
I agree with Mrs .. Int'l Olympics has nothing to do with Human Rights issues in Qatar .... whatz happening in USA/ Europe/ China/ Iraq/ Afghanistan etc ... u bet no Country in the Earth is fulfilling Human Rights for their Nation ..
Qatar has right to qualify for the Int'l Olympics in 2016 ..

you haven't proven me wrong yet..
I said they learned their lessons on Discrimination.. u r the one who started the topic on wars.. read your postings..
You have a weak argument
I started it with discrimination & other issues. You claimed that america has learned lessons in ALL issues. I simply proved you wrong (and always will)
Go do more posotive reading :-)

Yes, I have a case MRS.. because you started this with DISCRIMINATION in America and you realized that you don't have a case on that one.. so You switch it to War.. and again you don't have a case, because they are not redeploying any smart bombs to Turkey.. its been there and the situation in Turkey is the Turkish govt.. against the Kurds and America is trying to stop Turkey..
well this is funny but.. all those fireworks were just bec qatar applied for olympics 2016?:) i thought they got it:)
i smell deep too under debate here..
i smell war.. hehe.
"Peace not war"
They have only smart bombs?
Are these the bombs they are redeploying in Turkey & provoking the Russians, and again the whole world is on the edge of a 3rd world war?
Speaking of the 60's, I also hope that America learned a lesson from Vietnam & stopped attacking/invading other countries (in Asia & middle east)
You have no case my friend. Whether it is the 60's or any time in history, America will always be the same. (they only change enimies..from Nazis to communists to muslims.....and on...and on...and on...they NEED to use the weapons they manufacture & they MUST creat an enemy)
"Be strong but not arrogant
Be modest but not weak"
S.H
Mrs, you will be blamed for bashing America because you're pointing finger again.. and the three finger is going your direction...
they started manufacturing smart bombs..
You are reading the fabricated side of history. The ONLY holocaust I know happened in Japan, by the Americans. Others are just ordinary world wars with ordinary casualties, using ordinary weapons. There is ABSOLUTELY no justification for using nuc's against people. Are you trying to tell me that every country that gets attacked has the right to use nuc's? Is this your idea of "fighting back". I think this is an act of a coward who can not win a war unless with weapons of mass destruction.
Yes war & discrimination are 2 different issues, but I was replying your:
'all the examples you mentioned happened decades ago and America learned from it'
You still haven't helped me in telling me about the lessons that America has learned from manufacturing, pocessing & using nucular weapons agains other nation (they are the ONLY country who did that, mind you)
Person, China has a human rights issue, it is still hosting the 2008 Olympics. China will have negative publicity regarding that issue, and it will deal with it. Any other country in the world has the right to be treated like the Chinese example. If they say that the spirit of sports has nothing to do with politics, then they should not relate political issues (such as human rights) to sports events. This is why everybody was blaming America in 1980 when they decided to boycott Moscow Olympics. They achieved nothing but provoking the Soviets & forcing them to boycott the 1984 LA olympics, causing a big damage to sports. Again this was an incidant initiated for the 1st time by the Americans. Will I be blamed now for "bashing" America?
"Be strong but not arrogant
Be modest but not weak"
S.H
Guys, all countries have their skeletons in the closet. Yes, America treated Japan badly with the Atomic Bomb. But Japan also did some horrendus things. So did Germany. America, to view this partially, still does terrible things to people.
If we want to get technical about bidding countries for 2016, Japan is still a human rights' violator. Yes, even today. Have you never heard of the Zainichi, or the Burakumin? Do you not know that there is a lot of discrimination toward people with physical or mental disabilities there? Do you realize that Filipino women are looked down upon because it is assumed they are dirty folk who do nasty gross things in snack bars to middle-aged salarymen? Do you know how gaikokujin (gaijin) in general are treated? There are very few laws which protect the rights of foreigners in Japan. Just like here. If you get into a car accident with a local, even if you're not at fault, it's still your fault for being there. Just like here.
Japan is one of my homes. My heart is in Japan, and I mentally spend a lot of time there still. I will never forget the kindness of my friends. But there's also a lot of bad crap that goes down in Japan. If someone doesn't fit the mold, even through no fault of their own, things are pretty bad for them. It's those things, some of which I heard of, some of which I experienced first-hand, which I prefer to forget.
So you cannot say that only Qatar has a problem. What happens with the migrant "third-class' construction workers here, and their treatment, very closely mirrors the way which 'third-class' women from the Philippines, or Romania, or wherever else, in Japan.
Big in Japan :)
2016 Olympics will be in JAPAN anyway...hehehe
it all depends on your definition of hell & heaven.

How can it be that the Olympic bid has no relation to the current human rights situation in this country?
Of course it does.
Hypothetically, this bid could bring a lot of negative publicity for the problematic labour issues in Qatar; perhaps international disapproval would jolt the lawmakers to action?
That there are serious human rights issues in other countries is another issue altogether. Is the fact that others are doing something wrong a reason for you not to even try and do it right?
In every country where I have lived people encounter some kind of injustice, and everywhere there are those who are working towards the betterment of their society. Let us join them.
WAR and DISCRIMINATION are two different things.. get your fact straight.. again HISTORY 101.. Japan attacked America first.. they just fought back.. HOLOCAUST are Nazis killing the Jews.. come on Mrs.. read and learn so you can get your facts straight...
We all have problems in our countries & no one should point a finger at other countries.
But you keep on pointing finger to America.. so make up your mind.. and understand what you're talking about..
i dont want to get into ur fight but attacking an army and throwing an atom bomb over people are not same..
hehe nowadays us wudnt redeploy any weapons against russia but maybe against turkey:)
and also i hear from people.. oh turkey is 50 km inside iraq borders.. come ooon. us army is there for 5 years and killed over 1 million civils there. and we have troops there for over 20 years:)
so these world is so unfair. or the ones who are ruling are so.. cuz a country like qatar can be shown like heaven to others or a beautiful country may be shown as hell..:)
Money is like growing on trees for the arabs.... Constructing an underground stadium and hosting the Midnight race for the MOto Gp
Just money..... But where are the workers , low income expats, not able to save much.... Distanced geographically between the west and east.... More frustration.... More angst...More terror.... More violence......
about the leasons that "America has learned" from manufacturing, pocessing & using (against Japan) nucular weapons?
I am a very old & simple person & my memory has stopped in the 60's as you said and I need your assistance in informing me of what America is doing these days? I hope it learned a good lesson that nucular weapons can cause human tragedies (holocausts). I hope it destroyed all its nuc's & emptied its stores/camps. I hope it is not redeploying any new weapons in Turkey & NOT provoking Russia.
Please tell me all the above is true!

Qatar did not get the olympics so far!
"Be strong but not arrogant
Be modest but not weak"
S.H
yea there are not much human rights in here. or not for everyone. and in many countries also.
but let me tell u how qatar got the olympics.. bec here are huge investments. and olympics will help them make more money. or let them see the results or whatever. and it will be a really good advertisement that will be equal for millions of dollars, for qatar and for all those hotel owners and others..
so it is just business.. not any spirit.
they wudnt give olympics to qatar if qatar was doing all these by itself. and probably they wud have the excuse that 'there s no human rights in qatar' .
I must get it in your head somehow:
Every country in the world has its own problems. That does not give you the right to accuse Qatar of not being qualified to host an int'l event just because some labor are not getting their rights.
Working on improving a record in labor rights has nothing to do with the ability of hosting an int'l event. As Qatari said, China is hosting the 2008 Olympics although it has a human rights issue, someone said something about Nazi Germany hosting the Olympics, I said the America hosted it in 1984 despite America's record in many issues, SO....and read my lips: QATAR HAS ALL THE RIGHT IN HOSTING THE 2016 OLYMPICS NO MATTER WHAT ISSUES YOU THINK SHOULD PREVENT IT FROM THAT

For me it is about the games and slagging and complaining and not offering any remedies to the ailing situation.
Doha is bidding for the games and the labourere issue has abosulutely nothing to to with it.
This issue has been on many threads and all the information that I have received I have put this on QL.
Leave the games and one issue and the labourers another issue

Politics is not your game and "Be strong but not arrogant", this is yours if you post it then you should take this to heart.
Shall we change our topic and not discuss about QATAR
you said:
I did not comment about Qatar
and you said:
it was still democratic than what Qatar is after so many centuries
make up you mind, will you?
Did you or did you not comment about Qatar?
Looks like this topic for discussion is never going to end.
you are always on a personal slagging vendetta you insult people who you have no idea who or what they are and you have the biggest chip on your shoulder that I have ever experienced. Not worth even commenting you comments
It's not like that, this is only a discussion and we have to be clear enough to ourselves.
It is just slagging Qatar again about Human Rights issues.
I wish everyone would understand that this is a young country and improving every day many foreigners are contributing to this improvement and have suffered to get things improved even the Qataris themselves are being confronted with changes they never would have believed but all are still motivated.
The bid for the Games is good for Qatar it will gain on international importance no matter what our petty grievances are - finally this is about the development of this country.
if you think that I am only interested in insults.
You need to water you tiny brain & help it grow, read my words again, do not point a finger at countries like Qatar that is trying its best to follow the right track.
We all have problems in our countries & no one should point a finger at other countries.

Don't you have a personal opinion you have to agree with a person who insults others it is his game. Take a look at Human Rights in your own country without getting involved in othere countries - there is enough there to improve - don't you think??
Do you know about the plight and have you made any thoughts to help? No surely not. Cool and fun loving just don't get in to deep.
Politics is for politicians and if you interfere here you can find yourself back in India don't get into a band of boys with a chip on their shoulders there are others here who enjoy and benefit from Qatar.

I am 100% with pushing into improving the rights of foriegn labor here. But that has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with denying the right of Qatar in hosting the olympics.
We take lessons from the past. This is why I compare.
The history of America is very disgusting (specially when it comes to Japan) and can never be better than the past & present of Qatar, no matter how much "democracy" you think america has

Don't make a comment to me like that again - I know who you are, I am the last person to point a finger at Doha which is something you misread, quite the opposite I support Doha with my whole heart. Seems to me you don't understand a word I wrote this whole thread is a circus in my opinion.
Why do all these people who are complaining about the Human Rights here not help and do something - it is easy to complain but much more difficult to get up and help.
Too many people complain about Doha and the Human Rights, but it is everyones duty to help if there is an injustice, I personally have read this on many threads and always blaming the Qatar when many of the culprits are not from Qatar.
Again this has nothing to do with the bid for the Olympic Games and some people take one story to cover another.
Yes Mrs. I agree with you
and start accusing them of things they didn't say, and you fail to realize it, then you are the biggest clown in this circus

Think of labours who just earn between 500-1000 QR per month here and dont make it a political topic.

I think that being involved in int'l events, and applying int'l laws, regulations & standards in hosting & executing those int'l events, will all help Qataris & other expats to be more familiar in int'l labor rights & will help this young country (Qatar) take a huge step towards the cosmopolitian world. You can lock & punish an infant for not behaving properly and cause all the damage you can, and you can take that infant by the hand to a playground and have him/her participate where other infants & grown ups (even those with a bad history) are playing (somewhat) fairly.

Why do people connect one thing to another, looking back in near history China was one of the countries violating Human Rights the most -they still were give the opportunity to proove themselves.
There are many other countries who have been granted the Olympic Games with an extremely bad track record on Human Rights why start pointing a finger at Doha.
Ok they have made a bid does this give everyone the right to accuse the country of Human Rights violations - if you all feel so strongly then help those poor people for whom you have such strong sympathies - two factors here talking and doing all I see here is talking.
One great thing would be not to support the black sheep in the manpower industry.

The point is, as long as there are countries (like america) that have managed to 'get away' with it, then Qatar has all the right to host the olympics, and it can think about improving its record in labor rights, in the coming decades.

There is no comparison between China and Qatar especially where human rights are concerned, there are more Chinese incarcerated for year for expressing an opinion.
The plight of the labourers here has nothing to do directly with the Human Rights Commission although they are called upon to clear the differences which ar created by irresponsble sponsors selling their visas to irresponsible manpower agents all of who are making a quick penny.
There is also the health commission involved here because sicknesses/ diseases which are now emerging due to the lack of hygiene, so there is a lot more involved in this just now.
It is much more important to know facts before discussing them, many of the labourers were not paid their salaries so they went on strike. To go on strike is illegal, but they had no money and no food - the construction companies are responsible for this, then again they did not process residence permits for the labourers the story goes on and on.
The manpower agencies take on people for whom there is no work and often leave new labourers stranded atthe airport.
The list of details and accusationns concerning the labourers plight is endless - some people are trying to help and not just mouthing off here of QL.
My point is get all the facts straight and then start mouthing, and do please remember you too are a guest in Qatar.
The points in this thread have been gone over and over and yet even on QL I see Nepalese manpower agencies trying to find business partners. Many are already banned but new ones pop up all the time
The question is – are you a follower of bad examples or are you a leader? If you are a follower of bad examples – you are nothing because those examples were set decades back by many – so there is nothing special about you.
Will you ever not teach your children because many are not tought in other countries?!? Think about all as your family, if you are a member of a global village. Otherwise, its hypocrisy – don’t lecture me on values and freedom!
that america is a leader in discrimination issues!
Remember the 'black slaves'? Not allowed to vote? Not allowed to get education? Not allowed in buses, restaurants...etc? Not allowed to stand up for their rights and asked to be treated like humans? Remember the KKK?
Did any country, the UN, Security Council, Olympic Committy, UNESCO, Human Rights organizations...etc, impose any sanctions on America for treating its black people in this ugly manner?
Need I also talk about 'the Manhatan project' in 'Los Almos' in Mexico? 'Openhiemer's deadly toy'?
Need I talk about 'Holywood's black list' which included people in the film industry being SUSPECTED to be communists?
Who is better than who, in human rights?

At least in China whenever the culprits come to trial they are given capital punishments. I was following a story in China in which the labourers were chained and held hostage and forced to do work. When their plight surfaced the Government took swift action and now the convicts are waiting to be hanged.
We should also mention that the laws in China do not favor any particular race or should I say the foreigners do not have SPECIAL LAWS for them like in Qatar.
In China whenever a crime is reported the police and the Government take action and justice is served.
The problem here is that the laws are made to restrain the foreigners and giving the employer unlimited power and we all know how corruptive power can be. I dont think China has NOC or exit permit or the employer's permission to buy a car, to open an account to get driving license, to start a business.
So Qatari there is a vast difference between China and the middle east.
No doubt that human right abuses take place in China as well but the laws do not favour the employers.

its an irony that we claim to be ready for hosting the Olympics and we havent yet granted people their basic rights. We have forgotten the true meaning of Olympics and we are focusing on constructing multistorey buildings and stadiums. we want to enslave people and put them in golden cages but we forget that human spirit cannot be slaved.
The sooner we realize this the better as the alternatives paths to freedom are very painstaking and full of sacrifices
