But they will work to realign the planet's axes so the Persian Gulf can move into the preferred time zone; and at the same time throw Durban's climate off as well.

I really do not understand this. At the very least they should wait until 2032. By then the 2022 WC will be under their belt. They have no chance at landing the Games until the IOC sees a successful World Cup. 2028 will be decided in 2021 so it's still too soon. 2024 is OBVIOUSLY a no-go.

If Istanbul gets 2020, then Doha can absolutely forget 2024 & 2028 for that matter, too. They're just wasting their time at this point, especially with the scandalous, huge undertaking for such a tiny nation, World Cup that's hanging over them.

If Istanbul Turkey wins the 2020 Summer Olympics and Paralympics Games then the rest of the Arab Muslim world can forget it for the rest of the century plus it is stupid that Qatar is even hosting the FIFA World Cup they will be bankrupted after hosting the event pretty soon the Middle East will be bankrupted soon as other countries find new ways to get of oil then they will go back to what they are poor countries and the only thing left for the Muslim world to host is the Winter Olympics and Paralympics Games and I can see Almaty Kazakhstan getting to host the Winter Olympics and Paralympics Games in 2030 so I don't see the Muslim world hosting another Summer Olympics and Paralympics Games after Istanbul Turkey 2020 in my life time and I am only 18 years old.
