Bullshit and homophobic: Northwestern University in Doha says they cancelled an event by @mashrou3leila - whose singer is openly gay - because of “safety concerns.” Qatar Foundation says it’s not because of security but because of #Qatar’s laws and customs news.trust.org/item/202002051…
Members of the Lebanese indie rock band Mashrou' Leila had been scheduled to take part in a discussion at Northwestern University's Qatar campus on Tuesday, but the university moved the event to its U.S. campus after hostile online comments against Mashrou' Leila's appearance.
“This particular event was cancelled due to the fact that it patently did not correlate with this context,” #Qatar Foundation, a state-linked non-profit body in the conservative Gulf Arab state and the American University’s partner in Qatar. #MashrouLeila
