Hmm, Carol I dont think it is a productive way of thinking that if foreigners are needed here they should also be able to impose their values and way of life on another culture.
I dont think dressing decently to go to malls is a bad thing, I have said before people should cover up a little more sometimes. Now if Qatar was forcing everyone to wear abaya and shayla (like Saudi) that may be a little OTT but in regards to Saudi, expats know these things before they go and still go because we all want their money.
Also if you go into any of the old churces in Europe you cant wear hotpants but this is construed as being respectful is it not?
