How is Qatar's human rights record compared to our ally, Saudi Arabia?

Funny the way you group so many countries together as "Muslim" and then talk about what "they" are all like. Seems like the only choices out there for you are demonize or romanticize--with no clue I might not be doing either. I don't travel around Europe and the US thinking of them as "Christian" countries.  (I'll admit I did travel in India thinking of it as "Hindu" though.)

How in the world do you connect Sharia law to capitalist exploitation of labor?

Do you understand that many of the companies working in Qatar are Western. Quantex Qatar and Global Building Solutions are headquartered where???   You understand that Qatari construction companies are for the most part shells through which Western firms are hired?  You understand that there, as here, the MONEY is always for rolling back regulations.  That is not "Sharia."
