Yes, it isn't Ok for a Foreigner to voice out their opinion let alone criticize. Is that what you want to hear? I know many of the girls that got offended, and I understood why. In the initial venting post that was put up about the traffic, the sarcastic tone and the words used weren't flattering. They were put down in a moment of anger, and it opened doors to all the narrow minded, racist, arrogant members to take advantage and attack the people involved in the celebration and not the event itself.
An example, a mother could beat up her child, but when anyone else starts to hit - it all stops. I can insult my family, but I get offended when others do. Its human nature.
We ALL criticized many things, but when a Foreign person did, it struck a nerve.
This is a public forum, but it is about life in Qatar. Be careful and be respectful. Simple.
