"But what is really pissing me off.. is that i dont think any of you will be happy if one of the qataris does the samething in your country! most of you would normally say.."of course he won't respect the law .. he is MUSLIM"
Wrong, cinderella. the difference between Qatar and western countries is that in the west governments take a "no nonsense" attitude when it comes to imposing laws. The law is the law..full stop. no one has the right to break it..and should they ever do the consequences are almost always dire.
when was the last time you saw a new rule being imposed in Qatar without someone trying to get out of trouble through their high-profile contacts?
Oh and even though this in no way justifies breaking the law i find that most expats think that "if the locals don't respect their own country's laws. why should i?"
