Coffee is Unislamic and Should be Banned in Qatar

Coffee is physically or chemically so constituted as to make its consumption a violation of Islamic law, either because it was intoxicating or physically harmful, or because some step in its preparation, such as roasting the beans beyond the point of carbonization, made it unacceptable.

It was known as the wine of Islam after the prohibition of alcohol and was banned briefly in Mecca until a popular backlash had the law overturned.

So it seems Islam is not an immovable object it is open to debate and interpretation.
