Of all the strange things that have happened in Qatar recently, such as the ID cards in hotels saga, dress codes in shopping centers, etc, this issue is the one that is worrying me the most.

Once a country begins down a path of wholesale, state sanctioned, media contrl, things can get very nasty.

I'm just so shocked that something such as this, which directly goes against the wishes of the Emir himself, has been allowed to surface.

Dissent in the ranks?
