Al-Qaeda calls for a boycott of the football high mass – RT in French

Without making any direct threat against the World Cup which opens its doors in Qatar, the Yemeni branch of the terrorist organization has urged all Muslims to avoid the event.

“We urge our Muslim brothers not to follow or attend this event.” In a press release, spotted on November 19 by the group WEBSITE IntelligenceAl-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) urges Muslims to distance themselves from the FIFA World Cup in Qatar.

The Yemeni branch of the terrorist organization accuses the emirate of having “brought immoral people, homosexuals, sowers of corruption and atheism to the Arabian Peninsula”. In his eyes, the Gulf countries are guilty of “working in the pay of the Crusaders to alienate the Muslims of the peninsula from their faith”.

“A pornographic campaign”

Criticizing Doha for having, according to it, carried out a “pornographic campaign against the Mohamed peninsula”, the terrorist organization did not, however, make any direct threats against the international event.

An original call for a boycott. Indeed, citing discrimination against homosexuals, breaches of human rights or even the preservation of the climate, many organizations and personalities have called in recent months to boycott the 2022 edition of the World Cup. That of Al-Qaeda stands out, to say the least, in the decor.
