you too if you may lower down your intellect..

i even made it to an equation using logic and proportioning..

that's my best way of explaining my statement..

Pork and alcohol was sold since time immemorial. Pork was sold in the supermarket openly, namely Ali Bin Ali Super Market and Qatar Cold Store till 1979.

t_coffee..

you are and that's a compliment..

i've been reading your post and replies and i know your one of the known QL member if not one of the mods..

how would i put it..

let me try this one..

before: pork and alcohol not allowed in qatar.

at present: pork and alcohol are sold in QDC.

before: qatar is very strict on the said issue..

using logic and proportioning..

*** if pork and alcohol that is not allowed in qatar

before are being sold in QDC*** then maybe, i

said "maybe" i can equate that (if i may):

at present: qatar is not that strict as before on

this matter..

i hope this would help..

TCOM..tigabagiuo means Qatar now is more open than b4..as one proof of this is that they even allow QDC to sell pork & alcohol unlike b4 it was strictly taboo..so no need to worry about boy & girl being together in a car though they r not related.. Hope i helped brighten up something here.

t_coffee..

sorry i can't compose further explanation for this, better lower down your intellect so you can relate on what i'm sayin..

i do understand completely that bright people like you find it hard to digest simple if not irrelevant statements..

consideration extended on my statement will be highly appreciated with a profound dept of gratitude..

thank you very much..

best regards..

What has alcohol and pork got to do with this topic?

By tigabaguio• 25 Oct 2012 18:20

mechanical..

tons of men and women do more than just riding with a friend..

alcohol and pork are now sold in QDC..

so don't worry much..

The funny thing is they dont ask that to the european couples though its clear as daylight they are not relatives or husband and wife but when they come across asians and such others in close proximity they get funny ideas which actually is none of their business

There is freedom here in Qatar as long as you won't abuse it, I don't think of any problem

I dont know guys...but i think two years ago there were instances that i have heard from my friends where police ask them if they r relatives or married while they are inside the car.. But nowadays i noticed that police are now more lenient in such cases..

To be honest im now two years here but i still thought that it still prohibited to be together in a car boy & girl who are not relatives or married couple.. I heard about a law of 'illicit mingling' in islamic country which i think being together in a car is included..But if majority of commenters here are saying otherwise (which i hope is reliable info) then that is good to know...

By spiker_06• 24 Oct 2012 23:26

Maybe you did'nt hear about CID stopping cars knocking in the flats checking the documents if the boy and a girl are really couples maybe when you experience that then all of you will tell that I am right.

By spiker_06• 24 Oct 2012 23:05
spiker_06

SORRY to all if you are not aggreeing in my opinion I'm just telling what I learned in an Islamic country especially KSA that no one is allowed to be in a car if your not a couples or family members and if your telling a different scenario about helping others that is not included in this topic the lady is asking boy and a girl riding in one car so I assume it's only for two people in one car helping and other things is different again SORRY if my opinion is wrong.

Here we go again, common sense,,, i couldnt help myself to silent so i sign in and comment,,, what is wrong of riding on a car with a man / or a woman....

are there talibans here? I believe this country is moving forward not awkward into becoming a free country,,, as long as you are in decency authorities here are not that stupid to just ask you or intimidate to who you are with...

You would would think the cops have better things to do than to stop cars for males and females. In a country where people don't even turn up to court for an incident in which 19 people died, I would think a little touching would be the least of their worries

Most of us agree that it's not a crime to help a person, male or female. (Not in Islam and not in any other religion). But spiker insists it is. And when I remind him of the nonsense he publishes, he tells me to stick to the topic. It makes me laugh. Enjoy your stay while you can, spiker.
