I have been here since a kid and now having spent almost 30 years with just a few years back home for studies... i cannot agree with you. I have always had nice times here in Qatar with lot of Qatari friends, and a lot of nice people around. Well behaved, and always lovable. The safety in this place is the one of the best in the world. Then these type of issues happen everywhere in the world. Sometimes better sometimes worse. And as I said the main intention of my post was to let those people who might go there know beforehand what you can expect. Thats it. No complaints, no regrets. God bless this country and its people.
