Aisha,

I came to your rescue often enough to know exactly how sensitive you are. In addition, you know exactly what I think and feel with regards to all things Qatari and you don't need QL for that. Just like Doctora here, for a reason known to yourself only you are trying to say that everything I say about local people is negative. Are you sure, Aisha?

Or maybe, just maybe, all this happened because I dared to disagree with two local girls who have no idea what they are even talking about? Yes, I will still say that these girls are your future. They got enough support on this forum, too. You say they care for their country and frankly I don't see how you can care for your country by demanding that foreigners follow laws from which locals should be excused just because they're locals and it's their country. If caring for your country means stopping people from smoking in the malls - I am all for it. I don't smoke in the malls but I do have to sit in the coffee shops next to smokers who are (oh my goodness, here comes the !GASP! generalization) mostly locals.
