scientology in qatar

I stopped by the doha book fair, and i was surprised to see a booth attended by 3 americans in black suits, offering all the works of l ron hubbard, and offer few other gadgets. So even though I've trotted the globe, the first contact with a scientologist was in doha. How funny is that? does it say something about the country?

No wonder Tom Cruises' and John Travoltas' popularity went down the drain when they made public they were followers of Scientology. Cruises' new film at the time coming out was the failure of the year, and his wife goes through hell thanks to Scientology - she is not even allowed to raise her own child without being surrounded by 'undercover scientology member' nannies! But it is a 'religious cult' which very successfully spreads amongst people who have too much money and not enough brainpower / education / personality.
