This is Qatar

[zakariyaabdi]

Proud to be Somalian and Muslim, but sadden to call Arabs my brothers, Christians countries gave Somalia Billions in Aide to Somalia where Arab Countries gave in not even close to even 10% of that combined. Christian Nations Welcomed Somalian with Arms wide Open, Where Arab Countries Turned us aways, Proud to be Muslim Somalian Canadian. Wallahi, Nabi Mohammed (Peace be upon him) would be ashamed of how we treat each other and our brothers in Islam. Its Okey, Allah is watching all, judges every1

[Brennna]

Now... if we could just people to pronounce it correctly. That would be great.

[sweenytod0]

fuck this country worst than saudi fuck qatar bedwin rubbish

[Brennna]

@sweenytod0 Jealous of the people?

[dinesantiago]

Fuckin country ...it is very small country less than my town size...hot climate horrible to think 2022 fifa cup...money buys every thing..shit fukin country and their laws

[kshhashim]

[khalo0od1]

[ultragarrison]

Damn if i have a chance, i will live in qatar. =(

[dxareuready132]

@MrBrisbane97 when watching this go see dubai and qatar photos that will be in 2015 2:08 qatar begins

[ihatekhaleejis]

qatar suxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

[fgnhgn]

dude.I have finish almost 20 years of my life in Qatar.Ask me how the actual Qatar is.Qataris are one of the most stingiest and arrogant people in the world..education rate among them is low and only thing they know is how to drive a land cruiser that z all. They treat their house maids as animals.. It may be good as a tourist place,but not good to settle.Dubai is much much much more good for them who wants to settle in a Arab nation.

[17amarafi]

@fgnhgn excuse me? I happen to be a Qatari and fluent in 4 languages, and content. You see, we Qataris don't make fun of you Americans, we've never started wars against your people, what exactly do you have against us? I've lived here all my life, and I've seen a different side to it. See, every country has its downs, some people are just...cruel, but that does NOT mean you hold a grudge against our country! Yes, I have housemaids, but I promise you we never hurt them.

[FaisalAliAlmohannadi]

Qatar is TERRIBLE place to live. Sheikh Hamad is a lying dog and America should kill him. I have videos on my channel. Please join me in this fight.

[kaaghalaa]

@FaisalAliAlmohannadi Then explain why there hasn't been a revolution in qatar... And saying america should kill him means you are probably some kind of ignorant.

[qatari5432]

@FaisalAliAlmohannadi

قطر تاج راسك

انت حاسد لاغير

[17amarafi]

@FaisalAliAlmohannadi Well, we didn't kill Bush. We didn't force our culture onto you, nor are we planing. Sometimes people have grudges and there's nothing you can do about it, but what exactly are you fighting? And why? Are you fighting this way of life, the monarch who is adored by his people, or are you fighting what you don't understand, what you never knew, what you think life could've been like? Its OK to not enjoy living in a place, its NOT ok to kill its leader though.

[CreepyLizard]

I can spend 30 minutes with a crappy camera to make a similar video on the animal rights + labor rights (or you can just watch Fast Food Nation) and go "the US are bad they can't host the world cup"

[wade2bosh]

i think they shouldve held some games in bahrain.

[TheQatarikid]

Proud to be Qatari



[juanlopez3000]

fuck qatar

[wilplay37]

very..very nice QATAR !! IN GLORY!

[acejackpower]

But kudos... you do have nice manipulative voice.

[acejackpower]

Exactly what happened to you there that made you publish this over-zealous, biased video? You may need a little education, also. The loyalties that stand between Qatar in Iran are ones of fear. Shia Iran hates Sunni Qatar, and also the other Gulf Nations, so there is no pressure there besides befriending Israel, and being invaded by Iran. And second of all, your title is misleading. I believe those videos were made when color in videography was introduced. Or you just have a sucky camera.

[iam1and1isme]

someone bless qatar, happy to see a nation with the 2022 world cup :) hopefully ill go :) ps... i apologise for any racists. i dont speak for people who hate qatar or hate any other country for their prosperity, believe me (anyone from qatar) these people are just jelous :)

[pearl4peace]

You know what, me being a Qatari haven't seen all this in Qatar! You totally gave a wrong image! There is so much to show & know about this beautiful country!:)

[RAYYAN7QTR]

stupid that is not qatar you take the bad pictures of qatar

[TheBENGALHANNIBAL]

BOYCOTT QATAR,

as they aided TERRORIST ameriKKKa to attack IRAQ & AFGHANISTAN.

[TheBENGALHANNIBAL]

QATAR= SHEKDOMS WHOREDOMS ameriKKKan terrorist state.

[Adilshit]

America complains to middle east because american are jealouse of what they dont have in middle east :P

[aramex101]

Couldn't u show the nicest places in Qatar? Which is most of this wonderful country,

[WorldMastersGames09]

@aramex101lol wtf is that? the corniche? try living outside a shit hole and traveling outside, then you'll see what other countries have,Qatar has shit all, you want to see something in the middle east, try Iran, Jordan, Egypt etc, not a useless shit hole like Qatar

[footimoody78]

u gave the wrong image of qatar

if qatar is that premitive? then y would it host the 2022 event? nominated by the FIFA

[WorldMastersGames09]

@footimoody78 because it paid off FIFA and rigged the votes via bribes, everyone knows it BOYCOTT QATAR 2022!!

[17amarafi]

@WorldMastersGames09 Yup, and Qataris are the ones against Americans. We worked hard on a design, you should see it! Just search Qatar 2022 world cup stadiums. Just hold your prejudice, and think about it. If this was going to cost us millions or even billions, do you think we're dense enough to go and bribe the voters? We may not be American, but I think the money we would have lost would've been all over the news.

[WorldMastersGames09]

@17amarafi lol Qatar is nothing more than a bunch of puppet cocksuckers of the Americans but they also fund bin ladin and co on the side, Qatar are the biggest 2 faced snitches on the planet. Funding all terrorism globally, guess what if Iran is going to get attacked, I'm sure Qatar will be the first country to offer it's bases to US aircraft,fucking Qatar=fucking disgrace,bunch of losers,if only the bahrainis had killed you all when you went to suck the cock of the english to even get a country

[17amarafi]

@WorldMastersGames09 Thanks for your opinion. Hope you have a great day, great life, and live happily. Wherever you are, I hope that country prospers.

As for the World Cup, maybe you're right, maybe you're wrong. I just hope everyone has fun, after all, sometimes it's not where you are but who you're with, so maybe us Qataris will surprise you. Who knows? Sometimes, only time will tell. If this time is all we have, I'd rather spend it being happy, so may Allah (if you believe in Him) bless u!

[bahree081]

[56nuggy]

stupid qatari people your going to get yours come 2022

[haneen84]

You put the worst pictures of our oldest Qatar beloved. This guide hatred and hostility. I am proud I am of Qatar and develop our country for decades to get better and better

[hopesuress]

so far so gd in qatar, lest hope ot stays this way, i just hope we cut the liquor in fancey hotels, cuz we really dont want drunkards down the raods. the reason qatar is said to be a PEACEFUL place is becuase of u know wat we'r taught to do and not to do, u know the rules. but if we start breaking those, then the outcome will change too, neh? [=]

[MrTaang]

2:01 XD i saw you taping this scene but before our car will be seen the scene was already been cuted :|

[MofQTR]

The west can't seem to get .. you can't force your system upon us.

We do NOT want democracy; we're better off this way.

Democracy will give a loud and strong voice to those who hate liberty and thus, we will fall into utter backwardness. We are doing just fine the way we are.

[ThomasRowsell]

@MofQTR

good point. We have that problem with democracy here in the west.

[sh4p3shifter]

@MofQTR that doesn't make sense. ban democracy in case it allows people to be heard who are for the intolerant backward system qatar has? strange.

[17amarafi]

@sh4p3shifter We have our own government, we're happy about it, and we agree on it. See, we never asked for anybody to tolerate it other than us, the people. And the people, they can tolerate it. America is great, OK, I have nothing against your country, or India, or the Phillipines! I just have a problem with people who have a problem with people they've never met before and can never let go of their own opinions long enough to hear someone speak. FYI - thats called prejudice

[35LatitudSur]

@MofQTR then ...why do your fellow arab/muslims come to our societies?....leave us alone , we're also doing fine . We should live as far apart as we can so we don't bother each other. We ordinary citizens don't want tyour kind here but you keep coming!!!...I personally don't want to live together with you or your kind but....YOU KEEP COMING!!!!!....LEAVE US ALONE!!!!!

[halabbar]

@35LatitudSur hey u know what is the best part.. i am in europe ryt now as we speak.. and u know what we will keep going where ever the fuck we please.. and get this u cant do shit about .. and we cant talk shit and U personally cant do shit about it .. isnt that convinient..and even better.. we get to live like kings in the west.. !! and guess what u cant do shit about it... we are fucking u over soo bad.. yeah we spend our money in ur countries and then we get it back in exchange for oil..dirt

[LaoSoftware]

Qatar. Beautiful country.  Beautiful people.

Hugs and kisses from Laos!!!

[freestylemusicleolat]

sucky and shitty country!..most of khaleej is bullshit anyway!..yes i came here to badmouth!

[NoGripRacingGTR2]

@freestylemusicleolat Yeah you obviously know nothing about the place.

[Randomgirlluvsya]

Long live Qatar

from Kuwait :)

[firataydineyup]

ive got a job in qatar and it looks like that i will live ther for a couple of years. i have some concerns but. even my native country, turkish repuplique, is near by arabic countries it is a very modern country. i am wondering if qatar is a conservative country or not...

pls somebody response, THNX XXX

[hend13000]

i am qatari and i am really really proud to be on!!! oh and gr8 video;)

[besttarzan]

as an american living in qatar i can say that this report is based on bullshit

[nelrod03]

The poor living conditions are througout the Arabian Gulf. A prime example is Dubai's Sonapur. Go to Kuwait, Abu Dhabi & you will see XYZ ltd. co's housing their staff in small rooms, The food provided is just not very nutrious. The Arab sponsors retain their passports & make these labourers work 10-15 hrs daily.

The so called social membership clubs at the beach hotels too are priced, such that only whites from Europe can be members. The others, don't even dream of it.

[reconforsales]

Why do western corrospondents are always complaining of middle eastern countries employing people of the indian subcontinent as slaves and how they live in degraded living conditions!!!! What about the sweatshops that operate in Indonesia, vietnam, india, phillipines etc and these people work 22 hour shifts for less than $1 a day for multinationals like Nike, Gap etc. Watch John Pilgers: The new rulers of the world to find out more, its disgusting!!!!

[ThomasRowsell]

because as a westerner I can't vote for or have any influence of the activities of global capitalism, All i can do is vote for a goivernment- and the governments still can't keep a leash on multi nationals. My ethical poistion as a jounalist and voter is seperate from that of a consumer. Do i think that poor people in the west who buy cheap clothes that are made in sweatshops are evil, no i don't. I think that the people who run the sweat shops are the evil ones.

[Abdul561]

iam from qatar and iam sunii :D

[Oracle176x]

ok just what exactly do you mean that Qatar is torn between loyalties to its neighbors Iran & Iraq??

Just what is that supposed to mean? Because Qatar has no loyalties to Iran or Iraq. Both have high Shia populations and Qatar has a Sunni king who despises Shias whom he considers to be nonmuslim infidels. The only people in Iraq Qatar sympathizes with are Ba'athists and Sunni militants.

[ExpatLivingToday]

great information regarding Qatar. I lived there and it was a great time!

[muimrm]

You can find nice pics of Qatar on my channel.

[mediaman2003]

did you make this video by your cellphone camera? its really ANNOYING AND AMATURE video. get a proper cameraman. DOUCHE BAG

[cuterubii]

I LOVE U Qatarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr..­.........muuaahhhhhhhhhhhhh...­muuaaahhhhhhhhhhh

[angelina3003]

This video doesn't represent Qatar at all, and all u can see here its just some dessert, camels and indian accomodation, u've missed the most important and beautiful places, and Emir's photo is not on every establishment in qatar, it was for a while only on toyota building but its not there anymore before long time, and that's the only place i have ever seen his photo

[karim1171]

i cant agree more

[jamesrichardson63]

you missed the point of the video i think....its not about the tourist points its about the imbalanced quality of living and the foriegn workers being ignored and forced to live in unlivible conditions.

[fufuzed]

good work .....I will look up for chance to go and see what u saw

[tankshot009]

qatar pwns!!! cheao jewlrey, no conflict.

[agungk]

who said democracy is about human right?

democracy is a rule of game of arbitrating powers among the players, so that they would not harm each other needlessly.

needless to say that to be able to play in a democracy game, you have to be powerful.

[dumbassarab]

God Bless america, ehh qatar? lucky towel heads.

[aolser10]

thomas the best informative video i have ever seen

send me ur email lets be in touch

[Devilsoul8888]

طيب يا بغل يعني انت مكوه والا كس عشان يدش فيها الزب

[MOBYLEEful]

Ur very disgusting!! ya5y ish hal kalam

[qtr93]

qatar is alot better now since the vid was added -- November 02, 2007

[rasbu1234]

These immigrants have no other choice but to live that way. They are given good rights and can complain to a human rights office for immigrants that Qatar has built.They get reasonable wages compared to work in their own countries or like Dubai where theyre treated worse.

They get their salaries and send them straight away to their families who are living in a MUCH worse environment.

[n3013qtr]

Proud to be Qatari

[translationwiz]

Great video... Theres not much about Qatar on youtube as there is dubai and kuwait...ahh if you should happen to read this. I am curious about the comment in the video description box that you typed: "Despite the progress he has made(khalifa)his power remains unaffected." Does this comment support his actions and as a consequence he still has power(encouraging others who fear loss of power)?; uhh He should have less power because of it.But since he doesn't it isnt good enough?

Plz expand .

[ThomasRowsell]

this comment is neither supportive nor against his actions, it simply illustrates that he does not run a democratic society despite the progress he has made

[jbfirstdown22]

Ramadan Kareem

[allstaken]

I am impressed! U did a good job I have to say. In regards to the poor conditions of some of the immigrant labourers you have to bare in mind that Qatar is relatively young. It has come this far in less than 10 years, With the constitution, economy and education as their main prioroties, I'm sure some day we'll get there. Sooner rather than later I hope. Regardless good piece of work. Cheers!

[qtr93]

why u leave the good places and take picture for bad places ??

[fatftd999]

i love qatar i live it qatar though!

[hackedoff08]

we don't force labors to live in bad places like you said,they're so poor people they came to the gulf to improve thier life so they just came to our countries and worked in any works they don't care about what exactely that work is,all they want is thier wages how could we forced them live in an awful places like that,and u did just visit qatar once i don't think it's pretty enough to judge about qatar's people and qatar's goverment anyway you're very welcome to come back to qatar again,thanks

[ThomasRowsell]

Thank you, i think your country is beautiful and i admire your culture, sorry the pod is so critical but that is my style of journalism, I think that human rights laws should be enforced to provide a better standard of living for the immigrant workforce from south asia.

[hackedoff08]

Thanks for you, i totally understand your job.. your very welcome to come back again to visit qatar anytime :)

[SweetMaha1]

Forgive me for saying that, but there is lot's of wrong informations in your work!! and there is one in particular that i find quite offensive "beneath the surface lies descendents"! i kinda understand that you care about labors, as i do! but what made you think that they are forced to live in such a way (if they really do from the first place)is it because they can't afford living in a fine other places?

[Cocodurst]

he says discontent, not descendents. and the word force does not imply that the labpurers are forced by other people, rather more by social circumstance

[SweetMaha1]

Thanks for the correction! ^_^

maybe you're right, maybe he did mean the "social circumstance" but then what dose he know about the social circumstance here in qatar? I'm just wondering what made him think that way without any convincing proof to support his claims

[ThomasRowsell]

hi

i thought that way because i spoke to labourers, none of them agreed to be on camera for fear their supporters would have them deported. i see qatar is a great nation, but in all nations there is room for improvement. i think that human rights laws for labourers should be enforced across the world

[jamesrichardson63]

your wrong. they are labor slaves and most of the time their complaints to the labor depatrment are ignored. i have seen them unpaid for months at a time, forced to live 10-15 people in a 2 bedroom apartment wth one bathroom and with no medical attention. thats what this video is about.

[17amarafi]

@jamesrichardson63 Wherever you're talking about, I can promise you its not here. You wanna know why? Cus my mom practically ignored me until I was 12, and you know who got me through it? My nanny who's been taking care of me for over 12 years with a salary of over $500 a month. Some people might be living in pain, and my heart goes out to them. But hating on my country isn't going to change anything. There are always people who are just...cruel. And that's not a nations fault.

[jamesrichardson63]

@17amarafi i'm not hating. just stating facts. i lived there for 3 years and just came back to the us in july. its good to b back home in the us but i DO miss some things about qatar. but i will add.... i DO NOT miss one single qatari.

[17amarafi]

@jamesrichardson63 I understand that. It isn't the country you should be hating tho, just the people you met that you didn't like, I mean, you haven't met all the Qataris! Besides, some ppl r just cruel, and their country is NOT what made them like that. It's like hating the Germans because of Adolf Hitler, it's one man's mistake, not a country's.

[ToastersStandard]

@jamesrichardson63 The Last few words of your comment Didn't make sense

[SweetMaha1]

I think you did a quite fine work! but can i ask you, did you study qatar history or even look at some fact about qatar? I would like to know where did you get your information from? cause as you said you "visited" qatar, and i don't think a visit can provide you with the right information that you need.

[mrspepys]

I live in Qatar & I don't recognise where I live from this. Also, whilst highlighting imp issues re immigrant workers/democracy its let down because it contains factual inaccuracies such as 'much of the LSE has been bought by Qatari money' - its a 15% stake. Indian ocean??Whirling dervishs - not remotely traditional, they're sufi. Energy co's like RasGas don't 'essentially run the country'. That's done by the elite, with the US running most of the oil&gas co's.

[sunnk555]

Qatar looks like a Toilet

[damar2damar]

and you face look like shit

[mysanjose]

shitty report1-Qatar does not face Indian ocean.2-Westerner moving there for the money specially British befor Asian companies move in.3-Since when UK care about workers and human just look what they did all over the world colonizing counties looting there wealth and slaving there people & using them as solider(India example)even today in African British farmer stealing land UK Gov. support them.Iam not from qatar but i do not like British nor France they do and doing many evil around the world

[qatarguest]

What an excellent video - I am surprised it hasn't had more page views. Didn't really notice what was incorrect, either. I'll be posting it to my blog - it deserves more viewers.

Just out of interest, is the original American documentary that got you doing this on You Tube too?

[ThomasRowsell]

It is yes, I can't find the link, it features an interview with the Emir and his wife. I'm glad you enjoyed this, please do spread the word!

[jamqat]

i was born and raised in qatar. i appreciate the effort, however, most of what what you said is not correct. plus you could have taken a shot of better, modernized places that show the real face of qatar, not taking videos of the ghettos! c'mon man!

[ThomasRowsell]

please could you specify what you don't think is correct. I agree I could have included some of the many impressive modern structures including university village, but this pod is not an advertisement, there is an American documentary that shows that side of Qatar,I wanted to show the other side

[charlieworby]

your right thats not music, that thing he was playing reminds me of when i was young and used a cearal box and attached an elastic band to it strangly enough plunging it just like that dude, hmmm..... perhaps he stole my idea...barstard!Good doc mate, theres some real nice shots and it's also very informative, i almost feel slighty more interlectual....almost!
