The 2022 Soccer World Cup started this week, and has been the cause of euphoria worldwide.
On the one hand, many people are extremely enthusiastic about once again being able to watch their favorite competition. On the other hand, many liberal modernists are expressing their rage in relation to the conditions surrounding this year’s world cup. These imperialist minds deemed it to be absolutely unacceptable that a tyrannical “shari’ah-based” country be allowed to organize such an important event.
Among the many problems that they have with the politics of Qatar, is the treatment of sub-continent migrants during preparations leading up to the World Cup. They describe it as a form of modern-day slavery.
This claim caught my attention, since it is an argument that we hear often from the mouths of Islamophobes. These Islam-hating scum love to present the West as being this amazing, enlightened civilization which eventually came to the realization that slavery is bad and evil and that it should be abolished. Thus they abandoned their savage and barbaric ways. They then declare that slavery, in the form of migrant labor, is effectively still practiced within the “backwards” Muslim world.
But do they really have any grounds for levelling such criticisms?
I assume a closer look will only reveal more of that good old Western hypocrisy that we’re so used to seeing.
Islam is a religion that advocates for every human to be treated in a decent manner, and such excesses would most certainly be deemed evil according to our religious law.
Yet, that doesn’t stop the Islamophobes from constantly blaming Islam for the occurrence of such atrocities. They claim that Muslims are obsessed with slavery because Islam permits it and because the Prophet Muhammad (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) owned slaves.
This objection is a perfect case study of how liberals adopt a subjective bias toward their own lifestyle and culture. To get a clearer picture, let us scrutinize the rationale behind their claim.
The West laments South Asian migrants going to Qatar to work under dangerous conditions with low wages. On top of this, these workers do not have the same rights as the Qataris, and this resulted in 6500 migrants dying during the 2022 World Cup preparations. They claim that this is not labor, rather it is modern-day slavery. This is of course a very emphatic form of condemnation, one that they do not use when describing labor conditions within Western countries.
It seems that at least two ideas are included in this understanding of slavery:
Do they have selective amnesia about the fact that most Western companies own factories in poor countries, in order to exploit the workers there for cheap labor?
Have they forgotten about Europe’s exploitation of migrants during the ’70s?
France’s infrastructure is built upon the corpses of North Africans that went there to send money to their families. Many died in the process. To this day, some of them are still surviving on measly retirement pensions because France took advantage of their illiteracy in order to get them to sign unfair contracts.
It’s been fifty years.
Have they finally decided to abolish their modern-day slavery and give these migrants their due rights? It seems that France still has a long way to go.
Last week, Olivier Veran (a member of the French government) explained on TV how many restaurants are forced to hire migrants because they are not able to find any other suitable candidates for the position. The reality is that the wages for these jobs are so low that nobody wants them, besides the migrants.
This is a well-known fact.
The corrupt French politicians allow seven hundred thousand new migrants to enter the country every year. Despite knowing that these migrants will be exploited by their rich friends, it doesn’t bother them even the slightest bit. In fact, it’s a bonus for them since it essentially they pay less to eat out at their favorite restaurants.
And France is not some kind of exception.
A Hyundai factory in the United States was recently caught exploiting migrant children:
Such examples are everywhere in the West, rampant in fact. Where’s the same level of outrage against how the West uses modern-day slavery, both through exploiting migrant workers and also cheap sweat-shop labor in poor countries. These hypocrites are blind to the suffering of their own employees, but they’re well-aware of all kinds of tyrannical exploitation taking place elsewhere.
You know what? Let’s put their sincerity to the test.
Now that it has been shown how France is strongly involved in modern-day slavery, are they ready to boycott the 2024 Paris Olympics? Will they start campaigning against it?
I can’t wait to see these liberals screaming all over social media, with the same level of anger and outrage that they displayed for the campaign to boycott the 2022 Qatar World Cup.
I can’t wait to see them going around cancelling all the celebrities that visit Paris in 2024.
I can’t wait to see their rage and tears regarding the 2024 Paris Olympics over all the clear Human Rights violations.
Come on. Save migrants. #BoycottParis

Is Migrant Labor Really a New Form of Slavery?
The Middle East’s need for workers pushed these countries to adopt a sponsorship system for migrants called kafalah. This procedure has its flaws, but it was required for the purpose of keeping the migrant population in check within areas that are mainly inhabited by migrants. Under this rule, migrants are essentially second-class workers that often have fewer rights than the country’s actual citizens. This situation led to many cases of harsh exploitation being carried out by various sponsors, which in turn led to the deaths of migrants in the peninsula.Islam is a religion that advocates for every human to be treated in a decent manner, and such excesses would most certainly be deemed evil according to our religious law.

It seems that at least two ideas are included in this understanding of slavery:
- The migrant worker is employed to do the undesirable, low-paid jobs that most of the country’s actual citizens refuse to do; and
- The migrant worker does not enjoy the same protected status as actual citizens do under the country’s law.

Isn’t child labor a grave violation of human rights according to these liberals? What about these working conditions which include “crush and amputation hazards”? I’m waiting for these anti-Islam clowns to start condemning America as a backwards country that still has modern-day slavery.
