RE: Qatar tells female tourists what not to...

I'm from Qatar and I'm happy with that new law..
Actually when I first knew about it I said finally!
It's important that the government seeks its people's wants and requirements.. and cares about their interests.
We were a great country with only few population and almost no crimes and no fornications..
We were jus fine before the new projects and "more outsiders" to work in our country.
Its not that we don't welcome people to be our guests.. people who live here know how much we are friendly and good hosts.. Really good hosts
My own maid is living the dream here.. I give her a great salary and I gave here free room, clothes and food. And its against the law to treat your maid or worker with injustice .. if he or she complained for the police .. you will be punished.
But what happened is that some tourists and foreigns do not respect our traditions and religion.. we don't force them to wear the hijaab.. No .. only not too short and "almost if they were going to the beach" style.
That was ok for many years .. no one told them what to wear.. But after the increasing adultery crimes and fornications .. That made our society really had to live in.. "at least for us Qatari people" .. The government had to do something..
And no one prevented them from living their lives or enjoying their freedom.. Only please you must care about us the hosts and be nice and wear something respectful.
Freedom is to do what you want as long as you don't affect other's freedom , otherwise it will become chaos.
