- Qatar has one of the highest per capita incomes in the world?
- There is no income tax in The State of Qatar?
- The current ruler of Qatar removed his own father to assume power?
- Doha’s population is closing in on 2,000,000.
- There are two U.S. Military Bases operating in The State of Qatar?
- The Capitol City of Qatar is Doha?
College educations are free of politics and free of charge?
The previous seven questions are not questions at all. They are statements of fact. The Qatar Political structure is called a Monarchy also coined (Sheikdom) by some writers describing Qatar’s Government. The Al Thani Family are the rulers of Qatar. In 1995, the previous ruling, Emir Sheikh was removed by his son while he vacationed in Switzerland. The current, (Emir Hamad bin Kalifa Al Thani) does not tolerate political opposition. So presumable one day in the distant future the current Emir will get a tap on the shoulder from his son, who is commonly referred to as heir apparent. However, what outside opposition could oppose a society that boast so many advantages over many more developed nations, free college educations, free health care and no income taxes at all. The discovery of oil in Qatar in 1939 has made the Capitol city of Doha one of the wealthiest city’s per capita in the world. See The Flag of Qatar and get more facts at Wikipedia.

‘All men and women should avoid wearing skimpy dress’

DOHA: As the controversy over women from some nationalities wearing revealing clothes rages, there are some citizens who believe that females from some Arab nationalities cannot be excluded from these categories.
Perhaps, they (some Arab women) wear more revealing clothes than their Western counterparts, is the view of these citizens who call for waging a campaign to create public awareness about following a dress code in the public.
Men, especially those who wear sleeveless undergarments and half pants exposing themselves while in the public, are also a target of those who believe that a strict dress code should be followed by all foreigners in the country to respect local social and religious values and traditions.
