YOU and the Qatari QL members here refer to him as Qatari, but to the vast majority of other people on here he is a dual national.
Most other countries recognize that nationality can be equally given through either the mother or the father (and often both at the same time), and often additionally through location of birth (if he'd been born in the USA, he would also be a US citizen!).
Just because Qatar chooses not to recognize the mother's contribution towards making her child as worthy of imparting that child with her citizenship doesn't mean it's right or that the rest of the world need follow suit.
