#1 By all means hang the lot of them. England will no longer dispense with traitors so they might as well be done for drinking in Qatar.

#2 A source said: "There are people who have come over to Doha to work for Al-Jazeera and they do not understand and respect the customs of living in a Muslim country

But if the reciprocate is asked, it's racism/islamophobia, of course.

#3 Don't like the foreigners' culture ? Put your own camels, complete with tablecloths, out in front. See how many viewers you get.

Don't be too hard on them. If you were reduced to working in Qatar for a living, you'd take to drink, too.

#5 Well if you're an infidel and you're working for Al-Jizz, you gotta figure your career just about has a fork in it. So I say drink up shriners...

#6 But that's what moneyed foreigners do in that part of the world (ok, maybe not our dear .com, but Mr. Wife told me everyone he knew over there had a very large private stash). And Britons binge drink wherever they are, it's a key part of the culture that we got from them. If Al Jazeera didn't want drunken revels, they shouldn't have hired plummy-accented Brits.
