The US, despite its imperfections, is no where near equal to the country in question. Past countries that caused similar international complaints included china and Russia. The US is not comparable.
Examples of civil rights Issues in the US include policing of minorities that turn deadly. That’s a a pattern but it’s still uncommon and not actually legal. Being gay in Qatar will land you a different and worse experience. Being a woman in the US may mean a salary imbalance but it’s nothing compared to the theocratic policing of women in Qatar.
The US has a death penalty, but only a handful of people actually are unfortunate enough to experience it, in stark contrast to other nations that happily exterminate problematic groups.
It’s simply bad faith to argue that the US is a comparison to these countries, and a disservice to the goal of expanding humanity’s civil rights.
