New national day TV commercial
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SEIjPGFI600
My gf in UK found this site on a yet-to-be-launched national day commercial from Qtel. Anyone seen it yet? From the info written about the commercial, it will be launched on 15th. Guess we are seeing it here first. Nice piece of music and drumbeat. Wonder what other cool stuffs they will come up with. It's getting better.
It's not an oath to the flag, it's an oath to make Qatar a better place and to God.

Pity about the Nazi salute at the end. Still, it fits in with the whole pledging-allegiance-to-your-country vibe.
I know lots of people on this board love their countries very, very much. I just don't see what's to love. I love my family who live in England, I adore the scenery in the Scottish Highlands, I think the system of government is mostly fair. But I definitely don't love the country, its flag or some mystical beast called the UK.
If someone asked me to make a solemn oath to the Union Flag, I'd laugh at them. It's been thirty years since I faced a flag and made a promise to God and Queen, and I think I've now grown out of such nonsense. Obviously, Qtel doesn't think its customers have.
A little diversion. Did you like Call of Duty 4? I love it. Playing GRand Theft Auto 4 now... nice.
The literal translation of this arabic word would be "oath" but "commitment" is closer to the meaning.
By the way the national anthem of my country is Qasaman.
Hardcore Gamer!
yeah good video, and good question who.am.i...
What is 'Qasaman'? I've heard it once when the National Anthem was played. Good Video BTW. But I think the theme is quite similar with the Doha 2016 Olympic Bid Video.
