Ams90: Speak for yourself and say YOU don't like it; every other qatari I've spoken to has told me they love it when foreigners adopt their language and customs and try to integrate into their culture... No one wears a thobe to disguise as qatari and you seem to have a proud, self important, unpleasant and small minded mentality...It might come as a shock to you to learn that the thobe is the preferred dress for not just qatari men; it's worn by men all over the Arab world; it's not a qatari dress; it's traditional Arab attire which any one can wear and thus shaun as a non Arab expat, his Arab expat friend omar and you as qatari, are all equally entitled to wear the thobe... Learn a bit about your culture and learn to be more accepting of others into your culture... Have a good day...
