Qatari Flag gudeline

DOHA: A law is on the anvil that specifies a jail term of six months and a fine of a deterring QR100,000 for those found guilty of showing disrespect to Qatar’s national flag.
This is the first time the country is to enforce a law that would specify the size, colour, design and shape of the national flag and the protocol with which it is to be hoisted atop a building.
Hoisting a dim-coloured or damaged flag atop a building and without following the protocol to be followed (it must be greeted while being hoisted) would attract punitive action, Al Sharq reports.
Also, showing disrespect to the flag by lowering it atop a building or insulting it in any way would attract punitive clauses.
The Advisory Council yesterday discussed the draft law that was forwarded by the State Cabinet after it approved it. The daily said the Council approved the draft unanimously.
The draft law has 14 articles that specify the size, colour and design of the national flag as well as the material that is to be used to make the flag.
The draft law also covers the Emiri flag and the flag of the Qatari armed forces, the daily said.

Is it the same place someone will be punished for disrespecting the Qatar flag? If not, what is the relevance of your post monkey?

I think you should restrain yourself from commenting just to waste our time trolling.

Actually I laugh harder when I drink and see my flag burned. It's even funny when you see the little man dance around it not trying to burn himself....ha ha infidels!

I bet those monkeys And donkeys can actually be useful, its a shame to waste such potentials , while we got many people who are completely unable to think for their own and can be a burden to our oxygen.

I would like to see a flag stand and carry hundreds of pounds on its back.

By Blosted• 4 Dec 2012 11:39

Of course it is a must, but don't you think there are other conditions worst than that,and must be changed?

Like the animals conditions in Souq Waqif, labours o whatever else ?

I don't really understand this obession with flags. When I see those terrorists burning the Aussie flag, I think to myself is that the best they can do and start laughing. It's just some material with colour dye on it.
