By 2021, Qatar's population was around 2.93 million. With its small population hardly greater than that of Los Angeles, Qatar has hosted FIFA 2022 world cup, the most popular game in the world. This tremendous opportunity has made Qatar popular on the one hand and a scandal on the other. Qatar came to headlines mainly due to its small population and a weak soccer team yet is hosting the FIFA world cup. Also, it came to headlines due to its firmness towards traditional values and religious faith even while hosting FIFA.
Qatar has neither a strong military, nor is selling defense equipment, nor, has any strategic location apart from having crude oil reserves. It's the crude oil reserves that make it an economically strong country. The opportunity of hosting FIFA has now rendered Qatar a nation of attention for some time say for a couple of months to come. Now comes the question of what this small nation with tremendous opportunities can convey to the world that it can be remembered for in the future.
In a world of multi-cultures, languages, and faiths, Qatar has sent a strong message of beauty in differences. The message was about tolerance. in order to feel the beauty in differences the prerequisite is to have tolerance.
There is much more to win the world than dominance by force and the message of peace is one such example which Qatar has tried to use to win the world. Even though various groups of people have protested against Qatar but not with the intention to benefit all but to achieve theirs. For example the slogan like “we want beer” in Qatar stadiums which is against moral laws, has been used to instigate Qatar’s reactions for its being a Muslim state, but all in vain when it came to peaceful message delivered by Qatar. That message is to respect every society’s rights.
