State, Religion and International politics

Religion has started its influence on humans from the very beginning of the creation of the world and religion. In the past history, we can see that politics catches the hand of religion to upgrade its condition. On the other hand, Religion catches the hand of politics to promote it all over the world. In spite of trying hard and soul to separate religion from politics, Religion is still playing a vital role to influence politics.

However, the Qatar football world cup 2022 is an international platform which is displayed all over the world. The world cup is playing a significant role in international politics regarding Muslim religion.

Qatar is a Muslim country so it is representing Muslim culture before the world. That's why now people all over the world are able to know about the Muslim culture. The presenting culture of Muslim specially the people of Qatar and their mentality toward others is playing a vital role against Islamophobia.

Through the world cup 2022. The Qatar people have proved that they are ready to accept variety for the necessity of time in order to maintain peace among the people all over the world.

The World cup has created an opportunity for the Islamic people of Arab countries to regulate peaceful relations with other countries. On the other hand, As most of the people all over the world are watching The World cup that’s why the displayed of the flag of several countries has spread many message for instance, In world cup stadium often seen Palestine flag as a silent protest Palestine people demand the return of their territory from the hand of the illegal Israelis.

In the respect of Muslim culture Qatar imposes a barrier upon Short dresses are not allowed the visitors and fans have to cover at least shoulder and knees before entering public places like stadium, mosque and museums. Women are not allow to enter into the stadium which indicate or promote nudist views because the Islamic religion has influenced all the spectators to choose their dress to maintain the tradition and beauty of Islamic religion. In Qatar Homosexuality is illegal because of the pressure of FIFA the seven European teams captains have to abandon the One Love Campaign. One

The other hand FIFA try to promote different arms bands for each match featuring slogans such as Bring the move, Share the meal and Football unites the world. The logo of the rainbow arms band which keeps the word one loves this symbol like the numerical number one inside a heart. However it has no connection to discrimination or LGBTQ issues. The rainbow flag is a globally recognized trademark of LGBTQ rights and same sex relation. These are considered as a criminalized offence in Muslim norms and values. Qatar has prohibited those activities because Islam doesn’t allow this at all. The players and spectators are influenced by the religion. It’s Harem, that's why international politics about same sex is banned by Islamic religion, it is presented by the world cup football presentation and it is playing an important role in international politics.

Alcohol is also hardly limited in Qatar world cup because the Islam doesn’t allow this. My point is every country has its own set of rules, which all visitors must abide by. For instance, the drinking age in Australia is 18, in the United States 21. The tourist is able to drink alcoholic beer in the evening known as the FIFA fan festival.

The incident of Masha Amani in Iran who died in police custody has also displayed through the prestigious world cup this is also a part of world politics that has been performed by the world cup. This Islamic sentiment is playing an important role in international politics regarding religion.

Many journalists from every corner of the world have come to cover. The Fifa world cup 2022. They are also presenting and telecasting around the world.

That’s why, International image of Islam has been promoted internationally. So the western countries were indifferent to maintaining mutual relations with Islamic countries in the Middle East.

So diplomatic relations between western countries and middle east countries will be developed due to the FIFA world cup in Qatar and this a big achievement for the gulf state also Basically from the beginning when Qatar declared as the venue of the world cup 2022. Many controversies

Have been arise against Qatar like Women Rights, LGBTQ community issue ,imgrant worker death issue, democracy in Qatar and the effect of air condition stadium and its effect on environment. All these issues are mostly raised by the western world and their media grows the seed of conflict in international politics.

I think this is a big international platform which is presenting Islam as a peaceful religion among the world. The concept of Islamophobia is widely popular in western countries. They think the followers of Islam are involved in terrorist activities. But now they have come to watch the world cup and they have seen that the thinking of islamophobia is not correct. It was only propaganda. The football world cup is one of the greatest shows on earth. This is also a world level platform for the people where they can uphold their rights, their protest which will known by the people all over the world

After reviewing all the rules and regulations, I have come to the conclusion that the FIFA football world cup 2022 has played an important role in international politics in the field of religion.
