I always tell the people I work with to be careful. The penalty here in Qatar does not always fit the crime - especially in the eyes of Westerners. I'm not going to say any of the platitudes that go around about this topic (like its their country - oops I said it) because I know you have heard it.
The bottom line is this. You can't change it. It won't happen so you have to weigh the risks. Is the 5 seconds of satisfaction for flipping someone off worth the penalty. My answer is no although I have seriously reconsidered it on occasion.
