My congratulations to your American friend. She did exactly what I have done many times since in Qatar: Show what RESPECT FOR OTHERS means to many of these local ladies. The comment 'I own this country' makes me laugh and shows complete lack of education and an aggressive attitude from a 'minority' in her own homecountry. Her husband though did the honorable and right thing and I applaud him for that.

Respect to be respected! Everybody is equal!
