“The State of Qatar is a conservative Arab country and has its own traditions and customs derived from the originality of its history and people brought up on Islamic religious values. So please respect these customs in your dressings.
“If your are here on visit/business/work, obey the laws of this country and your respect to these laws will help you to avoid violations…..” the guidelines continue.

I find the Muslims utterly and completely hypocritical on this issue. When you are in their country they expect you to respect the laws and traditions of the land irregardless of your own values and beliefs. Yet, when they are in your country they cry foul if they are asked to do the same and claim discrimination, racism and Islamophobia.
The recent controversy over the veil in Europe is a perfect example. For many reasons, among them being "the laws and traditions of the land" it is not appropriate for people to cover their face in public in European society.
Let me make a little revision on the paragraph posted above:
“The continent of Europe is a liberal and free continent and has its own traditions and customs derived from the originality of its history and people brought up on Western values. So please respect these customs in your dressings.
“If your are here on visit/business/work, obey the laws of this country and your respect to these laws will help you to avoid violations…..” the guidelines continue.
