    there not granted anything the US gov dont build anything for any one u build it with your own money

    on ur own land

    and who build them are US citizens

    I dont see qatari hindus or qatari christain

    these people that you see are not citizens if they were I would not mind

    they got a church built with gov money and spending

    they work in qatar they get payed and dont pay tax

    also they are not loyal to qatar they well flee to there countrys when somthing happens

  • @babaganabal what have you to say for Hindu, Muslim & Buddist immigrants who live in US and are granted a temple, mosque to pray & worship? Try asking the Saudi Gov. to build a simple Church...they will never allow. It just shows how insecure or afraid Muslims are. The Muslim countries pump in millions of dollars for mosques in Western countries! what have you to say for that ??

  • @nelrod03

    its not like qatar has 1000 jews living there

    i know of one family

    but if i was them i well not build no church nore temple nor gurudwara becuase there isnt christain citizens nore hindu

    why should we build for them and they are not even citizens of the country
