But I have to agree with Exiled. What the guy said might've been assinine and rude, but if he didn't honestly know that what he was hearing was the Quran being recited, then how can you accuse him of breaking the law and disrespecting the Quran?
He doesn't have to think it's music to his ears; he's not a Muslim (and even Muslims are allowed to have opinions about what does and doesn't sound nice to them!).

Quite frankly, I've heard beautiful Quranic recitations and I've heard others that sound like sheep bleeting. I guess when you actually understand what is being said it makes a difference, but to the untrained (estern) ear, many times it is not so melodious and lovely.

I almost made a suggestion to Q-tel directory assistance because the music they play on their English line to customers waiting is Arabic...and whatever it is, to me it's like nails on a chalkboard. I'd rather wait in complete silence or just listen to some boring instrumental elevator music than the stuff they have on there now.

Now, if this guy had said something along the lines of "Islam sucks", I would agree that this is against the law in Qatar (although personally I think people should have freedom of expression).
But just because he didn't like the sound of the music in the store and said so? C'mon people...is that really something that the police need to be called for?
