The article is not claiming to represent an "entire nation", only 10-15% of its inhabitants. After all, the article's point is that many Qataris do not feel that they are the nation anymore. If you are really concerned about balance, perhaps you should be complaining that there are no quotes from the largest national population in Qatar, the Indians.
I think you should take the advice of your own tag line and stop taking the article so literally. The article makes an interesting point, and most posters seem to agree that, although it is an exaggeration (which the more light hearted among us find humorous) it has a degree of truth to it.
