Qatari citizens and non citizens enjoy the luxury and freedom and abundance of work for long time to come and the wisdom and guidance of its leaders in building and diversifying the economy is having great impact it is more that many countries piling up stacks of cash instead the government of Qatar is spending at infrastructure projects airports sewage systems railways and aviation. it achieved for its people more than any country I know … and hosting the world cup would make the country like the Pearl project,a jewel in the desert. an green oasis.

they are offered jobs instead of being unemployed in Nepal and India …i worked in aljaber engineering… 2009 slave labor Qatar contracting…cheap labor relative to American and EU standards…. at that time was wondering about how they could survive on 1000-3000 qar. but when you exchange it to their local currency it is more than what a minister earns in their country…and if you think about it no one forces them to accept such jobs …. the government facilitate the business climate for people to take advantage of the booming economy which is envy of the world. most all Qataris I met are nice people and as a climbing country it is developing at fast base it workers right and the rights of all residents citizens and not citizens.

Surely this behavior should not be tolerated within a country that is Islamic? Or am I missing something here….

India also is practicing modern-day slavery every day, in the name of economic growth and development!

But it is not only the fact of inhuman governments. Western companies are involved too, like Danish Rockwool, as you can see in this video: http://youtu.be/O0v2yIzOpZE. They try to make it an issue of the 2014 Indian elections.

The question is about proportion and how badly workers are being treated. I once interviewed Filipino housekeeper being held hostage in Lebanon during the last war with Israel. The stories can make you cry. I’ve read similar and worse stories from Saudi Arabia and Jerusalem.

But Geez, that’s a country hosting something very special. I sure hope the IOC finds about this. Of course they already do, probably. They are about as likely to do something as the U.N. And no, I am not bitter..just old and wise.
