Offensive or not?

hey'ya.
short question for the gurus of arab/muslim culture: if I wear some symbols or images of Israel, jews or Crusades, the Qataris will feel offended?
is this in any way related to sharia or some other laws here?

I would like to have some opinions before doing something wrong...

thanks.

Seems one always has to respect islam, but islam cries foul when not "respected" by others...

leaving aside the totally unnecessary and totally not funny ironical answers, and the fact that ¨why¨ is not important, I would like to thank all (2) people who had the decency to answer straight to the point. for everyone else, thank you too for your efforts of being funny and smart, and for wasting your time.

and mine ;).

heil.

as Bachus said, use common sense in your judgement of what to do and what not to do. There are unwritten rules in any culture which you will only know by being observant and considerate. Don't invite trouble for yourself unnecessarily by doing something which you know will make others uncomfortable.

Nothing wrong with Jewish symbols, but the rest is common sense that it is in poor taste. Not illegal.
