Shuaibkazi said Yes he will try not to make ...

Yes he will try not to make a statement which will make him an enemy in a guest country

Thats probably the reason he is invited in the first place, because he is pro and not the opposite

the fact still remain whether what he is saying is true or not and what are his understanding or findings based on.

By the way someone should really question him about the things he or she finds wrong with the mass of the muslim nations. i see a good opportunity.

But then most of us lack the ................. LOL!, all we can do is bicker behind the veil of a site like Qatar Living.

beso said Good chance ...

I belive he'll be fair becuase he's a pro, which means he'll be dealing with logical studies away from emotions. also, it will be fair statments about islam and closer to accept since he's non muslem. so it's a good chance to get pure information which we all need these days...

If you want to make comments......better listen to him first.

Any questions ask him when you listen.

PM said I am going to attend this tonight ...

And after listening to him might have something valuable to contribute. Without having even heard him, I don't see the point in criticizing him.
