In Qatar, Asian workers, deemed to have run afoul of the law for whatever reason, are treated as guilty until proven innocent...by their own selves with hardly any support from the legal system.
What I thought of, and expected from, Muslims and Arabs in general before I arrived in Qatar, and what I actually discovered about who, what and how they are as a people, based on how they treated me (and other Asians).
The plight of Nepalese unskilled workers who go to Qatar to make just some money so their families back home can have just a slightly better life but end up ensnared in the country's Kafkaesque legal system.
The details of everything that happened during the 11 nights and 12 days I spent in a Qatari jail for allegedly insulting Islam!
The fateful day I show up at the police station when I find out what I was supposedly to have said to be accused of insulting Islam and the subsequent incarceration.
