Right? My point was about freedom of speech, I didn't mention terrorists ANYWHERE. I'd bet 240's life that there are probably more terrorists in the UK - BUT the media in the UK has freedom of speech beyond almost any nation.
Here read this:
Qatar explicitly uses Wahhabi law as the basis of its government, and the vast majority of its citizens follow this specific Islamic doctrine. Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab founded Wahhabism, a puritanical version of Islam which takes a literal interpretation of the Qur'an and the Sunnah. In the eighteenth century, Abd Al-Wahhab formed a pact with the al-Saud family, the founders of Saudi Arabia.
Do you understand what LITERAL means?
Law:
When contrasted with other Arab states such as Saudi Arabia, for instance, Qatar has comparatively liberal laws, but is still not as liberal as some of its neighbors like UAE or Bahrain. Women can drive in Qatar, whereas they may not legally drive in Saudi Arabia.
You need to research wahhbism:

Sounds real liberal eh Hedge
I wish my country used Wahhabi law it's so liberal, humane and such an embracer of peace
You know my stance on the Islamic countries. At least I think you do.
In case it has to be repeated, here's the short version:
I think Islam is flawed at its core, it is a discriminating religion, it is anti-democratic, and there are other flaws.
I am a Feminist, and a firm believer in Democracy. Therefore I oppose any form, ANY form, of Islam.
So I am naturally critical of any kind of government like the one in Qatar, and the one in Saudi Arabia.
Of course.
But where did I state that I thought Qatar was a decent country?
Please point that out.
As far as Al-Jazeera: I believe in a free press. That is reason enough to broadcast Al-Jazeera.
Remember Voltaire, Nord.
