Is there a problem in taking a Bible to Doha?

Good Afternoon! 

 

I was wondering if there will be any problems if I bring a Bible to Doha in my cabin baggage. I remember long back it was a problem. Is it illegal to carry one there even now?

they allowed to build Catholic Church, how do you think they will stop you from bringing bible?

practice of religion is free for all in Qatar.

This is a serious crime punishable by Stoneing to death in public at the Public Execution Ground in Industrial area after Friday prayer :(

We went to a wedding in a church in Canada a few years ago. There were 3 of us, 2 christians and a muslim. The muslim guy had been to a few weddings (all in churches) while my other christian friend and I had scarcely ever set foot in a church. HE was telling US when to get up and when to sit down! LOL.... it was hilarious, but a true story, I swear.

 

Stay safe.

johny_boiei - I'm not a religious man, but I'm pretty certain you wont get kicked out of church for being a Muslim. They'd more likely welcome you.

By someonenew• 14 Apr 2008 12:02

I dont think anyone from the church will kick you out! Comon you're being silly now.

But I cant belive that you wanna go to church and read the Bible coz of the movies!!! Now thats a new one!!

that will depend on what you do inside the church :)
