Al Qaeda Urges Muslims to Avoid the Qatar World Cup, What's Up?

Al Qaeda Urges Muslims to Avoid the Qatar World Cup, What's Up?  Al Qaeda's regional offshoot is urging Muslims around the world to avoid the Qatar World Cup football, a statement was reported by a monitoring group.  The statement from the hardline group was issued without any explanation or warning of threats of attack or violence in connection with the event.  Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, the Yemen-based offshoot of the militant group, criticized Qatar for "bringing immoral people, homosexuals, sowers of corruption and atheism to the Arabian Peninsula." They said the event served to divert attention from the "occupation of Muslim countries" and their oppression.  “We warn our Muslim brothers not to join or attend this event,” said the statement, reported by Intelligence group SITE on Saturday (19/11/2022), a day before the tournament opened in the Muslim-majority country for the first time.  Organizers of the 2022 World Cup Qatar
