World Cup 2022: A French cartoon has caused outrage on social media for its “racist and Islamophobic” portrayal of the Qatar national football team ahead of the World Cup set to kick off in Doha later this month. Social media users denounce satirical newspaper Le Canard enchaîné, for caricatures that depict Arab men as long bearded, angry, carrying weapons and wearing suicide vests. Qatari minister of state Al-Kawari said, “Even harsh satire is welcome, but Le Canard enchaîné decided to resort to lies, hatred and resentment to attack Qatar and denigrate it”.
