I respect your views but I have to admit that there is one word you used that rankles on.. "Bowing"

Respecting Ramadan is not bowing in the context of a MASTER-SLAVE situation.

Admit it or not, even if we say that Qatar needs expats, we have the right to choose and decide whether we should come here or not.

Coming all the way here from our home countries entails embracing the culture and assimilating ourselves in the society.

Putting it simply, when you are welcomed as a visitor in a stranger's house, do you throw your weight around? Do you openly express your views that totally contradict with your host's even when you see him or her totally offended?

I believe that being a Catholic, you also have the sensitivity to deal with such situation in a respectful manner and with decency.
