1.- Laptop confiscated??
2.- Not allowed to drive??
3.- Forced to wear burka??
Are your friends actually talking about Qatar or somewhere else??
On number 1.- it could be possible on the "non appropriate material. But yet again how come they found out about the material; unless that friend of your was publicly displaying the content of the laptop.
On number 2.- there is plenty of women here driving. No issue
On number 3.- there is no such "forcing" to wear burka here. If you want go ahead; just remember the Burka is different from the "abaya". here in doha I have not seen the so called Burka (not the one I know)
What is asked for from expatriates is to dress in a conservative manner; thus avoiding being tagged as disrecpectful to the local customs.
Now on the other hand who is that friend working for?? is she married to an arab-muslim? Is she really living in Doha??
Maybe some answers could enlighten us to guide you better.
