Whirl I am in Doha, Qatar right now ( Basically in the neighberhood if u look at a map) and my father is an expat here along with about 80% of the pop. I can tell you life here, aside from the obvious division of classes ( Arab over hindu/ phillipino) Life is good..No fanatics to speak of, just respect their cultures...The guys u see in traditional cothing and such are more worried about their nice cars and having a good time than "kill the yankee" besides I just came back from a mall that had KFC/ CHILLIS/ FRIDAYS/ etc etc all full of ppl having a good time...
Offcourse saudi might be a different story but Abu Dahbi, Doha, Dubai and Kuwait ar'nt bad places to spend a few yrs making good money getting typed...Plus Honestly u cant base conclusions on Hollywood man!
