Qatari Culture

check the pictures of fanar expo 2009

Here in Qatar the culture is different from the west and people thought that I am imposing every foriegnier to dress or be like a typical Qatari person, I will say no but you have to show some respect to the culture here.
It is not a shame to take the good things from the west, but it is also not necessary to take the bad.
I do not care about how the west lives, I care about the way Qatari people live here.
Off course I do not like to see a Qatari guy hanging out drinking wines and alcohols and I will not say do not sell alcohol or wine because we are adults and some of us know what is good and what is bad.
Opening to the outside world will bring good and bad things and we should accept this but at the same time it is my rule as a Qatari to say this is good and this is bad.

[Mod note: No Religious topics on main forum post it in Religious Teaching Group.
And point #2 of guidelines reread it again]

The British embassy yesterday said the mission was sorry to hear the report of two Qatari students allegedly falling victim to a racial attack in Scotland.
According to reports, the students were abused and attacked by two Scottish youth while they were waiting in a queue to collect their tickets for an entertainment show.
An embassy spokesperson said: “We were sorry to hear these reports. Happily a lot of people travel from Qatar and indeed from the region, to the United Kingdom. The vast majority tell us that they have enjoyable and trouble-free visits. But on the rare occasions when people have problems (or indeed when Britons in Qatar run into difficulties) we work with our colleagues in the Qatari embassy in London and in both governments to tackle them.”

These people have no respect to Qatari Culture and an example of those people are those who dress naked in the GYM or SPA.
The small baby when gets naked we understand because his mind is not yet grown completely, but those who are 20 to 40 or 50 yrs old and walk naked in the GYM dress room and shower rooms or Suana are really strange people.

Egypt & Algeria relationship is one of the beast relationship in the arab cunteries
in the past egypt support algeria against occupation forces and also algeria support egypt against israiel what i want to say that the two peopel provided each other,s lives
and what happen now is only promotion of the rumors from the media stand, backed by the West
and i am sure that all egpytions peopel love all Algerian people and also all Algerian people love all egpytion peopel
if egypt win the match i will support egypt
if algeria win the match i will support algeria

Hi all,

Went for a body building competition the other day at the Doha Sheraton. And there was this lovely old man belting out Arabic ballads.

Although I didn;t understand a single word of what he was singing, I was mesmerised by the pain in his voice.

To him!

At whom what favourite film?

And what happens is that many filipina work in some shops where DVD or restaurants or any other shop give the Qatari a normal look and being nice smiling (This very good because the seller should be nice to sell the items in the shop) and the Qatari may smile and say thanks after buying the item.
On the other hand some filipina will smile and say hi habibi (love) because she see this Qatari more than one time and then this Qatari will think that she wants him, and he will run after her and think badly, but this Qatari should know all filipina are the same.
Some Qatari will not pay any attention and just leave normally or tell her please do not see habibi, and will explain to her that habibi is to be said for husband or boyfriend but not for some one you do not know.
