Qatarliving.com is one of the websites that i like to take a look at once every while. It has useful information, especially for expats. It also has a forum that many expats in Qatar can share events, experiences and other stuff.
When I visit Qatarliving I generally look for complaints and incidents those expats face here in the country. Honestly, I don’t really care what they think of us (Qataris). They can always go anywhere else if they’re not comfortable in the country. However, I do care where on morals line my people stand. It should upset me when a sick citizen acts like a savage and it definitely pleases me when a Qatari man shows the generosity and kindness that, we think, we got by default from claiming to be Muslims.
I took some snap shots and I’ll like the share them with my blog.

- After telling a story of a Qatari kid driving a BMW who was making donuts, then he cut into the cars line because he couldn’t wait and finally he parked in the middle of the streat, the expats says :
- Another incident:
Many of the forum members replied to that post and mentioned similar stories that happened to them.
one of the replies was :
- Are you offended by this question? well, you shouldn't be. Many of us give this impression very happily. The only reason for them to give this impression is that they really ARE arrogant and unfriendly.
The forum, sadly, has man questions and comments about Sexual harassments, driving morals and other stuff.
As I said I don’t really care what they think. Some of them come with the prejudice that all Qataris are rude immoral.
A big smile is drawn on my face when I read how many of them have encountered with Qataris close enough to know that they’re not all ignorant.
It’s not really about what do we want people to think of us. People’s impression is, indeed, a mirror that reflects our actions. Good morals do NOT come by default from being a Muslim or any other religion. Sadly enough, many of us might harm the image of Islam by his/her ignorant actions.
The point of this topic is pretty obvious. There is no need to add anything more to it. I, myself, would love to see all Qataries and non-Qataries happy, smiling, helping each other in this beautiful small country.
