The article being discussed here is about a Qatari official judging Western standards immoral, not the other way. This is particularly problematic because he is in charge of organising an event that is likely to attract primarily visitors from the very countries he is criticising.
There is a disconnect here. FIFA, as an organisation mostly funded from those countries where accepting homosexuality has become a moral standard, has been under pressure for decades to be more inclusive of homosexuals. In that context they made a mistake to award the world cup to Qatar. The same goes with women: they can't pretend that they care about making stadiums more welcoming of women and organise their main event in a country where organisers take the opposite view.
