Yeh but its the equivalent of me having been in jail for armed robbery telling other people not to rob a store. Just because the west did bad things doesnt mean they dont have a point. Challenge their motivations not the message.

Not really, "bad things" doesn't summarize centuries most criminal behavior in history. It is not the same.

A better analogy would be you having murdered, raped, pillaged and become rich off of hundreds of innocent lives, and THEN telling someone not to rob a store.

Qatar could take a lesson on morality, but not from the west. The west does not have a high horse to sit on.

I have nothing against the modern western world but I have something to say about hypocrisy.

Sure but you can still tell someone when something is wrong. Just because they were animals before doesnt mean their message is meaningless.
