Genesis correctly pointed out that this is a problem experienced by the whole Arab Peninsula. And I feel the reason is that people were not educated enough to understand. But, now this has been understood by the new generation to some extend. The issue is that it is not accepted by some, reason being they love their Fries, Burger and Cola more than their own lives.

Further, Qatarisun was right about the B'day parties. "I had ma son's B'day party at McDonalds for 50 kids cause I am rich enough to afford it", its just an example. As long as this mentality exists, there will be no answer to the problem, irrespective of Nationality or Region.
