If you go to the main lounge in the forums here you will find a post reflecting exactly what people here were saying would happen from such a one sided article. I can handle a little humor directed towards me, but this article was just ridiculous. From the reporting of the guy who fought his way into the car park to the stories of those disgruntled wealthy Qataris. To claim such an article doesn't influence ones perception of Gulf Arabs in a negative way is just being delusional. Especially considering the lack of information out there on what the Qatar/ Gulf Arab world is like, people will use what comes their way to make an opinion, especially since there really isn't much opportunities for them out there to get a fairer view of the situation.
