I can't really tell why things got so hostile in this thread, but I'm going to ignore all that and help answer the original question.
There is a long list of options here [http://www.boingboing.net/censorroute.html] about defeating internet filters like the one QTel uses. All the options rely on the same basic idea: you connect your Doha PC to the site you want through an unblocked server somewhere else in the world. So when the data comes back to you, QTel thinks it's coming from the uncensored server. (Because the filter doesn't know what the content is, just what the URL of the content host is -- that's what it blocks.)
For example, if you have a friend with an always-on internet connection in an uncensored country, there is software that lets you use their connection [http://www.peacefire.org/circumventor/]. Or you can use other software to access relays people run out of the goodness of their hearts [http://tor.eff.org].
There are at least a dozen other resources listed on that first URL .
