Sirwa69 was either being sarcastic or ignorant regarding Qatar. There is no secret police here, and no there is no threat of a coupe d'etat. Qatar, politically is the most stable of the Gulf states.
I am glad that you have not left us. Your right I was being a little bit sarcastic but I think you are being a little bit niave if you think that there is no secret police in Qatar. Every country in the world has it's secret police, I know quite a few of the one's in Bahrain and these boys (and girls) work hand in hand with their colleagues in most of the Gulf countries including Qatar. (when it suits them)
I do agree that Qatar is politically stable although whether the most stable in the Gulf I am not qualified to say as the political situation in Oman and Kuwait are relatively unknown to me. It is certainly more stable than Bahrain though.
Qatar is also booming, that I can see for myself. (Nice Golf Course
)
I have lots of mates who live there and rave about what a great place it is too live. I have been in Bahrain for over 10 years now and I love it but I am keeping an eye on Qatar.
I think that in a couple of years time it will have overtaken Bahrain and I will probably want to move there then.
I do not know anyone who works for Qatar Airways but I do have a load of mates who work for Qatar Petroleum and they all say that they are well treated and allowed to do their jobs and live their lives with no political interferance.
