#1 Not much different from hearing the Muslim call to prayer on a Michigan street.

#2 Well, if you watch the video you will see that some Muslims in Qatar MAY have a problem with it. There are apparently more Catholic guest workers in the country than there are Muslims, so they let them build a church. Makes sense. They are also letting the Orthodox, Anglicans, and one other unspecified denomination build churches. All next to one another out in the desert somewhere.

#shrug# Seems like progress to me. I don't think the Emir of Qatar gives a damn who his subjects are so long as they work, pay taxes, and don't break things. Pretty much like every other modern ruler.

You know, they don't go out of there way to actually interview any Muslims in this story. They just show some guys praying in a mosque, then show some other guys in Arab robes having tea in a cafe somewhere. They don't actually ask them what they think about it. Maybe the Muslim on the street in Qatar doesn't give a damn so long as his food gets cooked and the oil in his car gets changed.
