>>> People like these should think about their own morals before talking about somebody else's.

People like Winston Churchill can't think anything because they, like Winston Churchill, have been dead for decades. And in all civilized countries slavery has long been illegal. So if in one country - namely Qatar - institution of slavery still exists, Churchill quote from the thirties is not actually a good way to prevent somebody from talking about the morals of Qatar slaveholders.

They could think when they were alive. To talk about freedom and morals, when your own country has set up colonies all round the globe and committing atrocities is hypocrisy.

US and Europe have some black pages in their histories, that is true. Not that they are unique in that - we all know about slaves being brought into the US, but I encourage you to look up who was selling those slaves and where the centers of the slave trade were located and how much of power in Africa and Middle East depended on selling the slaves - but with all that, the past can not be denied. However, for US and Europe is is the past and slavery has been long recognized as immoral, unacceptable and evil. In Qatar, the slavery exists today. It is not hypocritical at all to call Qatar out today and tell them that in 21th century we don't do these things. Even if people did it some time ago. We grew past that, and it's time for Qatar to do the same.
