Abstract

This communication deals with Qatar’s organization of the world cup 2022, from the discourse of identity to the discourse of rationality; towards restoring the pride of Man. The question is: how to form an identity discourse that reflects Arab nationalism and the values of Islamic religion within a rational framework? World cup organization and its relation to identity and rationality discourse shows controversy with regards western conception of human rights values. The controversy is due to the different phases of the concept. This unexpected debate and also misconceived ideas requiring planned action and response . Qatar had provided measures to keep pace with the biased critics. The facts fits two alternative scenarios; either to restore methods make necessary a further kind of analysis. One specifically related to identity discourse of the west.If the debate over Qatar organization of the world cup turns out to be a political discourse, then the disappearance of rational discourse is a possibility. This leads to different challenges; people in the west can only be informed with political biased media, not with objective reports, it becomes series of fake news, blurred images and even false judgments. Through the analysis of levels of discourses used by Qatar, our views about its consequences on Arab as well as on the global world lead to rational solution concerning the combination of different parts or qualities of both discourses in which the component elements are smartly joined. And Although those discourses required to be replacement measures in western Europe foreign policy are diminished, Qatar fulfilled the required purpose towards restoring the pride of human being and enhancing the civilizational dialogue.
