Just how bored and desperate for entertainment are people in Qatar that they are reduced to making a CKOne-Martini for kicks?

There no clear concept of banning alcoholic perfumes as they are not health hazardous. In fact they are good for heealth as they smell good and help smeling good in person. The alcohol external use is always appropriate as it kills germs and sprit using before and after vaccination is the example.

Banning alcoholic perfumes may not harm any economy of France or any european country but herslef Qatar's economy. Just need a wise calculation.

Oh yes! If France and other sheep-oriented european countries can BAN VEIL in their streets, why can't a Middle-east country come out to BAN ALCOHOL? You consider veil as an example of women-oppression, consider the stats of rape, women-abuse, drunk driving, drunk theft in your country and compare the similar stats with Qatar.
Qatar is far more safer and serene than most european countries.
I'd say, ban alcohol and let it stay banned!

Actually Suleman, yours is an opinion, not a fact. And that's a fact.

@Abdur, I would love to compare stats... But simply there are no reliable figures for almost anything in the GCC.
We have one though, and guess what your alcohol-free roads kill and maim way more people than the alcohol-fueled ones in the west
@sukeman, blance of power may be changing but not to the ME benefit, think south and East. Maybe if you stop blaming evil foreign powers for your 600 years neglect of science and knowledge you wil understand why you issued things like the industrial revolution. And you will be able to eventually fix it

Dear John; why not take all western ideas, people and political intervention out of the Middle East and see how from the region will thrive! The world has turned around mate, and whether you like it or not western society is doomed! Without Middle Eastern money no European economy will move forward, its a simple fact...

Dear Abdur; when you decide to come out of the 15th Century please let us know.... "Sheep-oriented"?? Seriously? Is that the best you could come up with?? Funny enough that this Region has a "can't live with them but can't live without them" approach to everything Western... I would love to see everything Westerner taken away from the region and I mean everything.. let us see what people like you and many others would then be driving; wearing, eating; flying in, etc...
Unreal!

This is funny. What next? ban alcohol-based medicines? Just check every medication that contains elixir. That's alcoholic.
