I am from the west. Even when I wasn't practising Islam, I thought it was madness. We grew up poor so to me fashion and McDonald's were not a big deal. All we cared about is if it the clothes were clean and if they fit. A homemade burger was just as good as Mcdonalds.

People didn't care about those things when I was growing up. The world has gotten crazy though in the last twenty years. For the Americans remember cutoff jean shorts do you see them anymore, ohh only rednecks still wear them. Even the West has lost its values to commercialism so don't give me that crap. A lot of younger people from the West can see because they don't remember building guns out of wood sticks and rubberbands. If it is not Nintendo, Sega or Ipod, Gucci, Prada we don't know. The same is happening here in Qatar and around the world.

Act your age not your shoe size
