A Qatari ambassador for the World Cup received criticism after describing homosexuality as "damage in the mind" during an interview with a German public broadcaster. Khalid Salman, a former player for the Qatari national soccer team and an ambassador for the World Cup, made these remarks as Qatar prepares to officially begin the global tournament in less than two weeks, where around 1.2 million people are expected to attend. During the interview with German broadcaster ZDF, Salman discussed homosexuality, which is illegal in Qatar. "During the World Cup, many things will come to the country. Let's talk about gays," Salman said in English. "The most important thing is, everybody will accept that they come here. But they will have to accept our rules," he added. "(Homosexuality) is haram. You know what haram (forbidden) means?" Salman continued during the interview. In Islamic law, if something is haram, it is considered forbidden. When the reporter asked why homosexuality was haram, Salman replied: "I am not a strict Muslim, but why is it haram? Because it is 'damage in the mind.'" He also went on to say that being gay causes "spiritual harm." According to the ZDF, a press officer for the World organizing committee immediately cut the interview short. Reuters asked Qatar's World Cup organizers for a comment regarding the issue, but they declined the request.
