There are not just telling female tourist. If you are a male....leave your wifebeaters (shirts) at home.

And meanwhile, I'd be pretty certain the ruling class, despite the decrees, edicts, and strictures, is pretty much doing whatever they want behind closed doors.

That's better than throwing rocks at them. Qatar must be one of the more "moderate" states!

Same with the common folk. Qatar's ban on these clothes is in public places....not private ones.

No kissing? yeah thats gonna improve the tourism.

Arabs force you to dress like them in their country it's an act of respect.



But if you remove a hijab of a woman in any other country for whatever reason whatsoever and you are a monster

Yup. Double-standard alert: we can tell you what to wear, so you don't cause me offense, but you can't tell me what to wear, so you don't cause me offense.

I don't see why this is a big deal this type of thing happens in so many other places in the world already. Mainly in Muslim and Jewish places.

It was, until very recently, a popular vacation spot.
