I am upset because....

huh !

those people are the biggest hypocrites in the world!! they always think with their head down there!!

Really... this is not the first time i hear about these sort of situations... if nothing else - letting asside the obvious about his stupid and rude behaviour - these guys should look for a "crash course" on how to behave socially.... or how to try and make contact with the opposite sex... without freaking everyone out!!!

It is soooo pathetic how these men behave.

Tomsware... amuse us with your nonsense!!! it is sooo funny!!! The day you have the chance to visit a "western" society... be carefull... watch over your shoulder as you need to be sure you wont be attacked by evil western women!!!!! Make sure you you keep your santity intact for when you are back to your perfect little world...

.... i totally second you... well said...

madam, u made a mistake. u should have taken his mobile number and u should have given this to police. u missed a chance to catch him & to put behind the bars. as far i heared from my friends...police will take strict action especially for a case like this....

Omlayla, sorry to hear about your experience, all men here arent the same but let me tell you there are plenty of creepy ones.

Make sure you get his license plate number next time, punch it on on your phone and call the police.

I actually heard one guy say once that "better to go after a woman with a baby, we know she has experience"

Pigs, plain and simple.

So sorry to hear your story---- Allah will take care of you and your family

it always happen here..its not easy for women to live here.i m wondering why these are all arab men and not europeans or americans?!!

if it is just OKAY to throw stones at his car without any circumstances after, i would have done it!

Next time walk with a baseball bat, hit the shit out of his car, give it heaps of dents... I would love to do that.... teach them bastards a lesson they would never talk to a women again...

It is always the lost that need my guidance

Well, yes, it was sexual harassment, but it was also a little more. If I'm the victim of harassment I'm disgusted and angry, but if I'm followed and accosted by a total stranger then I'm frightened. I realize that Qatar is safer than the US but I would still be quite uneasy about the encounter. As you say, masha'allah it turned out alright.

Mandi

I am sorry for misinforming you about my nationality.I didn't check my profile.

I think there is nothing more to add other than to say thank you who showed their interest and support.

For sure I learned lesson from it and hope it will never ever happen again.

Grow up..Sexual harrassment takes place everywhere in the world..

This moron was wrong in his action. Thank the Lord that you reacted properly and are safe.. Now move on and take it as a lesson learnt..

You know what really annoys me about people on this website? Is most you act like this only happens here, even if this is a Muslim country it doesn't mean there aren't any assholes like any other place on the planet.

OmLayla, funnily enough I thought you were Qatari because your profile says your nationality is 'Qatar' which lead me to believe you were indeed Qatari and not say...Bengali or Peleponese.......

Neatly done Abu. Just a personal note really . My sisterinlaw who always dresses and behaves very conservatively has this problem costantly. What I find amazing is that she often hears people speaking in arabic about her in less than complimentary terms though . Her revenge is to start speaking to anyone around her in FLUENT arabic, she is lucky and always has the last laugh.

Cases of rape and other violence occur the same like in western countries however according to some sources it is not recommended to talk/write about them.And this is how the image of bad Western countries is being created.But I do not think that hiding things like that will make things better,on the contrary.

I am quoting,"more rapes are being held in western countries rather than in mid east" -- cases of rape in the mid east are not high so you say, maybe because there are not that many cases "being reported"..

anyway, it's obvious the guy wants an easy lay and he seems to think all women are easy, he certainly underestimated you....glad you're ok....

I am not Qatari.Where did you get it from?

And why do people think that only Arab people are Muslims or can be?If Islam is only for Arabs let's make it clear...And yes I wore the scarf and as you see it didn't prevent that guy from acting this way.So no matter what you wear you are always exposed.And that is becoming sick and dangerous.

... if you could, then, you would find whom i blamed for all these...

i think mid east ppl have misconceptions bout western women, simultaneosly, western society has different sorts of problems.... how can you forget racism ! .... do you think Obama issue would be able to wash all those past?...

see, i dont belong to mid east, neither do i western.... and that's why i said neutrally..unlike you guys....

i feel sorry for the lady who experienced such embarassment, but, simunteneously its true that, every day, more rapes are being held in western countries rather than in mid east....

of no respect but i give also no respect for them. thats why i throw a rock to have more troubles for them if ever they renew there license for car. what should i do??? im powerless coz i dont even have a car. at least i done my part. its a little bit harsh but at least they dont shoot guns at me. LOL!

why dont you try taking a trip to the west and see what it is like in the west, not everything in life is an american movie rather critize if you have actually experienced it, lived it or met people who dump there parents.

throwing an egg to someone pretty much as throwing a number, be happy you didnt get a number thrown at you!!

see?... now you are started using bad words...

what does that supposed to mean?.... i criticise mid east but, also west....

but, you guys are biased at your breaking-society? why do you leave your parents in old home when they need care and companion?

your right maybe this people im talking about was uneducated... i think there teenager i may say coz they're laughing at me when they throw an egg. take note there not wearing civilian cloths they wearing this thobe. i dont know if its a local or somebody wearing this cloths.

Hi to me... please if you have something to say just say it. But just to let you know dont think because i am western you can just send a private hi and expect to get lucky with me.

but we dont act like horny animals...

have you ever been to a 'western society'???

you are obsessed............ get a grip

we do NOT marry our first cousins...unlike other places!!! topless at uni? sex in public???

what have you been sniffing????

in western society, sorry to say, people are having sex almost every public places.... incest relationships are started being accepted there ! ..... ppl even at university campus, walks topless.... exploit sexuality for getting good grades in school or promotion in office....

i am sorry, but, please dont portray western society as pure....

western society now approved gay marriage !

marriage had been an institute, but western society have broken it....

that is just so uneducated, who throws eggs!!

your phone number LOL! kidding aside its horrible when people do this things. even i have a bad experience, when im waiting for taxi around 5am in the morning and i wore my uniform going to my work when suddenly 1 landcruiser grey color pass by then one guy open his window and throw something at me. i was shocked but when i realize they throw raw egg at me but still lucky because its not spoiled and not smell bad at all. after that they laughing and my instinct said, THROW a rock when you found something. i saw a rock and i throw at the window and i see crack hehehe. then i run as fast as i can, i was terrified. im still lucky though coz i break there windows in exchange of throwing eggs at me. the next day i change my routine where i can look for taxi hehehe.

the next time somebody hitting like that at you. make sure you have your mobile and call somebody or police then look for the plate number and report that all.

a head scarf always helps...although I'm sure this lady said she was wearing one!

in the west, someone wont approach you in a mall to sleep with you, in the west someone wont try to sleep with you if you have your baby with you, people respect marriage more, people wont look at you like you have never seen a woman again, even if I walk with my husband these people cant stop staring!!!!!!!! They look at you like they have never seen a woman before. In the west nobody will ever even look at you and men dont treat you like an object of desire but like an equal contributing partner with a brain

blame bloody Marilyn monroe and all those types that show their knickers...I say!......

they have misconceptions bout western women... they ofcourse to blame for such conceptions, but whom else should be blamed also?

weekly i can tell you people about an event,today in city center someone was also trying to give me there mobile after i told them I am married, just cause I am western I am not going to climb in your pants.

..but, her other words...

anyhow, i gues, she is not online now....

'and what about my scarf' Quote.....I just assummed she was covered!

i'm not sure... i thought she was western...

I thought this woman was muslim?

middle eastern ppl have misconceptions regarding western women, but what's the reason for misconception?... shouldn't hollywood be blamed a bit for spreading such misconceptions?...

Happens all the time here

just tell them to bugger off....

shout loudly in Arabic/English or if they dont bugger off throw a little stone and chip the windshield.... LOL

I made the mistake the other day.... coming out of parking space at Villagio - with my hand i just gestured to another driver to go into my space...

he thought that was it and followed me all the way home...

I thought it was hilarious.... how could that have been possibly construed as 'i think yr hot lets shag now'?????...saddo

Dont get sad - get mad! thats fun :)

A worrying experience, but this happens ALL OVER the place , especially in the Middle East..

Learn from it, but don't be too upset..

.

OmLayla, you say you are Qatari.....well this is your country then....use some wasta!

i think, these people, i mean, local, are passing kinda transitory period, and eventually, i hope, they would change, like emirati people reshaped themselves in dubai...

Had to learn the same:not giving smile to people in the street.In my country giving smile doesn't not always mean invitation but kindness;also I know it is not good to start conversation because it can be seen as invitation to something else...life is sometimes gloomy but for our safety we must stay like that.

Watch out next time. Never start talking to them; you are only entertaining the situation, when you see that it is not right, just walk away the opposite direction behind the car. Don’t talk to them, don’t look back.. keep walking and find a shop to go to. It is men like him that give all men a bad name here. Sorry for what happened to you, learn from it and get stronger from it.

It is always the lost that need my guidance

one of my friends, who just came from usa to doha, gave a gentle smile to a qatari guy coz their eyes crossed eath other.... in fact, it was a gentle gesture of my american friend.....

and know what happened?.... that guy followed her the entire way to her home thinking of it as an invitation !

and now, she never give a smile in similar situations....

:-(

So sorry to hear that. That was pathetic. It happened to me when i was pregnant about 7 months. What I did just ignore him, and walk away. Because if u speak 1 word then he`ll continue. Next time better for you pretending not to hear and walk away. But I hope there will be no next time.

and you know what?... these people are most hypocrit people on earth....

Omlayla, you havent seen a thing yet trust me. im sorry to hear your story. some men are creepy and twisted, so just be careful and if this happens again make sure you take the car number and report it.

Ive been there and i know exactly how it feels. calm down and let it go.

its normal in qatar.u have to be little carefull while walking alone in streets.many people asks about lift.just relax ....

I would never imagine that walking woman with the small baby in the pram could be an easy target for any man.But seems it doesn't always work this way.

So sorry to hear your story. Seriously, there are a lot of CREEPS out there like this. We just can't be sure of the nationality, but it can be anyone - even your/our fellow countrymen or other weird/freaky nationalities.

Even though I am a guy, I see to it that such a thing don't happen to me - especially with my Girlfriend around. I have my camera always ready to take the plate numbers of those SOBs! In a different world/place like this, you should learn how to survive, and not be victimized by such fools.

Take care always.
