The world according to Cabbage (at least as asserted in her last post)
1. Never criticize another country unless yours is perfect, regardless of how valid those criticisms might be. i.e. don't criticize the US for bombing civilians if at any point in your country's history the government harmed a civilian.
2. If Qatar takes one step in the right direction, let's give them credit for walking a mile.
3. So long as there is a worse country, no one should criticize Qatar.
4. Qatar has every right to preach about religious tolerance to other nations at the UN, but no one should criticize Qatar on the subject.
As I said before, I don't disagree with Qatar's right to handle its domestic affairs in the manner its rulers see fit. If that means tolerance, so be it; if that means Sharia law, then so be it. But when Qatar speaks about these issues on an INTERNATIONAL stage and voices views on how other nations should behave, then it rightly opens itself to criticism.
