No offence taken at all....we r just having a discussion and a healthy one at that....and I believe I share the same feelings u have towards Qatar and the community even what u said about being "selective"....In general I can quote Al Pacino when I say "I'm a fan of Man" I like all cultured and all religion, I simply like all ppl worth liking and believe there's something worth learning in every society, but my point has nothing to do with Qatar per se.
Where I disagree with u on is that ppl in general underestimate the importance or learning about culture and r rapidly gettin more detached from one another....that's happening everywhere on earth, and it's getting worse by the day. All this does is it puts up a barrier between ppl and makes it easier for them to sleep at night after they’re done killing each other over a diamond or oil or power or whatever. Ppl r made to believe that they r not one species and that they cannot co-exist.
To assume that math is more important than heritage is false "to me" and I think Qatar is doing the students a big favor by trying to make them more assimilated, aware and engaged by the society they live in. I'm not saying Qatar's history is important....I'm saying if u live in (___________)"FILL IN THE BLANK WITH ANY COUNTRY NAME" it's EXTREMELY vital that u learn about it's heritage and culture of ur surroundings. This is not about Qatar to me, this is something any human living anywhere should do, at the expense of whatever subject they have to sacrifice because its for the good of humanity which is being underplayed now a days by some things that r far less superior.

I hope I have made my point clearer.
