Traditions at risk in Qatar's rapid progress

[adilos30]

It's a Interesting countries for Qataries only. They make an expection for Westerners, because of the science and knowledge and protection they give them, for the time being. But they are really a closed ancient arab society, that is based on tribes. For the rest they don't like everybody else. They even hate or disrecpect every other non-oil Arabs speakers.

[Maliksabawi]

I didn't know Qatar is such un interesting country !

[LyricsThatFly]

Its because thy dont want to sit down

and form a population instead thy just wana

buy ppl

[spudnikswonder]

Why are you guys discussing Welfare... Wtf. It's sad that Qatar is loosing identity. The Youth just needs to recognize that this is what makes the Gulf countries so unique. It's the traditions that are trying to be kept ALIVE.

[CrazyEurazion]

I went to school there in 2003, my has it grown a lot since i was there...!

[Keiykou]

Lol I'm Qatari,And it's true the last time ive been to the desert was when i was 8 years old. I prefer going to the cinema now = u=

[sunrise4love]

Well, people don't care about their culture anymore, it's not only in Qatar.

[STONEISLAND38]

Stop hatinh welfare is for all help everyone illegal and legal all are humans

[Muslim4Lyfe64]

@OrganicKing I wasn't addressing you specifically. Please mind your own business.

[dammee]

@povertyincanada Sure the country may be new but the people who live there certainly are not. Their culture looks like all of khaleeji culture, they are part of the culture of the entire region. Should they wish to preserve it? why not, if they want to keep these interesting traditions like falcon hunting...why should it bother you.

[The1sista]

Arab children are getting fatter and fatter. I don't know if it was always like this.

[MuslimByChoice]

Qatar is beautiful 

[Jiannamarie1]

gulf arabs are nice looking <3

[08zea]

[Abbadon380]

BAH ARABS AND THEIR ARAB CULTURNESS WORKING TO PRESERVE THEIR CULTURE HOW EVIL N VILE(sarcasm)

.e.g Abaya which is a religious clothing designed with the intentions of modesty and humility and hejab, becomes a "national" dress and turns into a most attention seeking form of clothing .. the toughest purest bedu of Arabia in just two generations manage to produce some of the weakest and saddest children .. it's a mess, it's a fire in which most burn and a few come out hardened and much more believing and understanding and appreciating their Traditions. Allah help us all ..

[Spunkette87]

@habibshsh i agree with you 100%.

[habibshsh]

I used to believe in and like the "modern and traditional mix" charade .. the "burj al arab" next to "bastakya" image of dubai .. but after living there and tasting it .. something is terribly wrong. the products of "globalization" (super rich elite's interests, not majority's interests) + local traditions are mostly mutants .. and not in a good way

[habibshsh]

sad sad sad ...

السنة شی ازلی من الله

قال سبحانه تعالی: فلن تجد لسنت الله تبدیلا و لن تجد لسنت الله تحویلا

You should not give up your traditions, and you should understand the origins, makers and intentions of both systems ..

[ahmedzs1]

u need to save ur arab culture. its urs.

[WorldIslamicOrder]

the hot girl needs a man to make some babies.

[Muslim4Lyfe64]

I hope they don't listen to the kuffar who don't have their interests in mind; their only interest is to exploit Muslim countries and make everyone kaffir.

[OrganicKing]

@Muslim4Lyfe64 nobody is hiding behind trees trynna make us "kaffir"

grow up.

[contacter]

Why does the mere ownership of a penis entitle one to so much in islamic tradition and law?

[TheTheman45]

this is a disgrace to Nabi Muhammud (SAW).

[zambimaru]

Funny. Whenever Americans talk about preserving their culture, Aljazeera labels them racist's, and when Qataris talks about it, AJ acts like it's a good thing.

[Norskebanan]

Falconry, pearl diving, camel riding, tea & coffee consumption... this is true Gulf Arabic culture. And I think it is even more magnificent without the oil and the luxury that comes with it.

[aloistmartin]

Send in Brad and Angeline ...

[HenryDavidT]

@povertyincanada I won't go that far, in terms of them being an "insult" to specific or general intelligence or to humanity.... but I agree with you to a large degree:

These few million-combined Saudis, Bahrainis, & UAEs: most have not really earned much of any thing on their own, or contributed much to humanity, in any sense of the word. About 3 generations ago, their grandparents herd sheep & used mostly camels...

[HenryDavidT]

All of a sudden, there's tons of fossil under their sand.

The West flies in 1,000s of tons of cash, in exchange for the oil & gas. These guys IMPORT virtually everything: food, electronic gadgets, doctors, Formula 1 & fake democracy for show, engineers, teachers, servants, what-not.

'Course, with the average citizen receiving close to $100K a year, they could afford to send their kids to schools in NY, London, Paris & buy fleets of BMWs & Mercedes Benz & $100M yachts, et cetera.

[HenryDavidT]

I meant to include the nice Qatari (of Al Jezeera) folks, too, of course.

General statistics say that in Qatar, Saudi Arabia, AUE, & Bahrain foreign "guest workers" (another name for servants & slaves) outnumber citizens (almost all of whom are Arabs) 4 or 5 to 1.

Expensive engineers & firms from the West design everything; less expensive but highly technical S. Korean & Chinese firms & workers build everything. The Arabs import 10s of millions of servants to service them.

[thedetective22]

@HenryDavidT

jealous much ??!

[HenryDavidT]

@thedetective22 No, not that "jealous." Just making generally observations.

Every story has at least 2 sides, of course. We say we've been to the Moon; you might say, "That's a lie; you just went to the beach!"

Anyway, we live in a $15T economy here in America. It is tough for those with less education; but we get by. It is the land where things, ideas, & companies like Yahoo, Google, IBM, Microsoft, UPS, air planes, cars, the Internet, etc. orginated.

So, we are okay!

[thedetective22]

@HenryDavidT

so why the hate ?? I don't get it

what have these people done to u ??!

is it their problem to wake up and found money underneath them ??

if u were one of them would u still make this compliment ??

[HenryDavidT]

@thedetective22 It's neither "hate" nor "jealousy."

And as you put it: It's not their fault waking up to find truck loads of cash under their mattresses.

I guess if I were in their shoes, & like the little Sultan of Brunei, I'd probably buy fleets of S-class Mercedes Benz, too?

Or

I might be funding, $500M a year, a dozen small groups of researchers doing infectious & hereditary disease research, w/ such amount of cash under my mattress every morning when I wake up.

[mohammadbanibaker]

@povertyincanada CamelJockeyes lololol

[TheMutification]

@povertyincanada oh, you must be poor LOL

[comrade6464]

@povertyincanada ehm ehm jealous

[thedetective22]

@povertyincanada

yeah use ur bike until u become a normal person and eliminate of ur sever non-sense hatred among other people ..

do u think they give a Fuck about ur money ?!

[MardasMan]

And no mention about how qatar treats those foreign workers like shit... AJE, you are indeed qatar-based. Biased only on this sole country.

[thedetective22]

@MardasMan

again, no one forced them to go there and get treated badly !!

[MardasMan]

@thedetective22

You are blaming the victim. The policies in the gulf countries against foreign workers are violating human rights, plain and simple, it's inexcusable.

[thedetective22]

@MardasMan

have u ever noticed that mexicans and illegals r getting treated as fuck here in the US ??

don't let me start bud, also if they already knew their policies why would they go there in the first place

simple is that??

[ilafeiz]

@povertyincanada you r in Canada who the hell tell you that illegal mexicans get paid welfare check get your facts right

[TheEviIOyo]

@povertyincanada illegal mexicans don't get welfare in the U.S. but in canada, well that's a diff story

[TheEviIOyo]

@povertyincanada sorry, but I like canada, and intend to go back again next week. It's just a fact there are many east africans, arabs and mexicans on welfare.

[HenryDavidT]

@povertyincanada Not true. NO "Mexican illegal alien" gets $700 a month in "welfare check doing nothing."

FACT:

Immigrants -- legal & illegal, from SOUTH of the USA -- are the WORKHORSE that ensures America's $15 T economy runs.

North to south, west to east, in the USA, IMMIGRANTS work from dawn to dusk, in the most laborious tasks & the most EXTREME temperatures, w/ least pay:

NO foods can be had & no Hotels, Motels, Restaurants, or Estates can be run, without them.

[yousos89]

Qatari government the puppet of US and Zionists

[infiltratorr]
