I find it very odd reading all these comments. Some are saying that if the Arabs need us so they better get used to it. Well I guess that argument could be applied in the West too. We need the foreigners otherwise most of our very British institutions would break down. Let us not forget we brought the foreigners into Britain to do the jobs we didn't want to or for less money. But we are telling them how to behave and dress etc too. And don't forget we are getting big salaries for our services, We aren't doing the Arabs a favour really. We are providing a service for a fee. a very big one may I add! A lot better than what we gave the foreigners in the 60's when we invited them over to Britain. They were our cheap labour.
Besides I really do think that wearing religious dress is different to them wanting us to wear modest dress. It is possibly why there are still so many values left in these countries as opposed to the breakdown of the family structure and society in the West. Come on now face it, the low crime rate and safety we enjoy in Qatar is all part of this system. I remember when I was young in the UK and we used to leave the doors open and be assured noone would burgle us. Now forget it. And it all comes down to the breakdown of the family and individuals and lack of education and guidance and morals. Sad but true.
I love my kids growing up here. When I go back to the Uk I feel scared now when I am in the street. Hoodies and thugs in the street. You go to a cashpoint and look round suspiciously at everyone. You go inside the house and lock the doors. You go into a shop and lock your car.
I think long trousers and half sleeved tops are better than loose morals and society breakdown. Don't you?
