It wasn’t clear late Wednesday what effect the order had on Google’s email services in Iran.
Google didn’t have an immediate comment about the announcement.

Westerner questions about Qatar
By krem on Sun, 26/07/2009 - 12:11pmHey everybody
Fairly new here and I'm trying to feel out if working in Qatar seems like a viable option.
So, the recession hit Iceland pretty hard. Jobs are sparse and income taxes hit the 40% mark.
So, currently I make the equivalent of 5000Qr per month, working in a hotel reception which is not my field of work per say.
What I am looking for is a IT/Tech support related job and I've got several questions regarding living and working in Qatar
1. How much would a low level IT employee make per month?. I've mostly worked in telecommunications, networking and such. No diplomas or certificates, though
2. What is the feel of being a westerner in a muslim country? Do you get treated any differently?
