The article in my viewpoint was absolute rubbish, she doesn't take into account culture and how different Arab culture it. You don't get invited into Qatari families until they know you well and even then many prefer to keep their lives private. No doubt all the negative influences have something to do with that. In Souk Wagif their are many opportunities to talk with Qataris and ask questions. I feel she had a negative view and wanted to write such. In any new country that is modernizing its not easy to make a balance but I think Qatar goes out of their way to be hospitable far more than where I come from. She doesn't even take into acount its a different culture that is still trying to keep some of their traditions, I am thankful they have not let all their ways go like in other Arab countries.
