Please don't ever take anything I say as being against Qataris as a group. All of the Qataris I know I have the greatest respect for (although I admit it is a limited cohort). I hope I never disrespect anyone for their ethnicity or other accident of nature, none of us chose where we are born. For the record, I love being here, love the country, love the people of all creeds, religions and birthrights that I come across. I think Qatar is making great strides, long way to go, lots to learn yes but hey, it took many countries many centuries to deal with the issues that Qatar is trying to deal with in a few short years
But it doesn't do any harm to take the p155 when someone does something a bit silly like forcing all students to learn Qatar history at the expense of other subjects. ESPECIALLY when Qatar is so short of good, qualified teachers who could make a difference.
