Country:Qatar\nCapital : Doha\n\nQatar is an emirate in the Middle East and Western Asia, occupying the small Qatar Peninsula on the northeasterly coast of the larger Arabian Peninsula. It is bordered by Saudi Arabia to the south; otherwise the Persian Gulf surrounds the state.\nQatar occupies 11,437 square kilometers on a peninsula that extends approximately 160 kilometers north into the Persian Gulf from the Arabian Peninsula. Varying in width between fifty-five and ninety kilometers, the land is mainly flat (the highest point is 103 meters) and rocky.\n\nThe capital, Doha, is located on the central east coast on a sweeping (if shallow) harbor. Other ports include Umm Said, Al Khawr, and Al Wakrah. Only Doha and Umm Said are capable of handling commercial shipping, although a large port and a terminal for loading natural gas are planned at Ras Laffan, north of Al Khawr. Coral reefs and shallow coastal waters make navigation difficult in areas where channels have not been dredged.

The dominant social convention in the region is Islam.  This religion prevents the full acceptance of capitalism, which is the prevailing economic world view on Earth today.\n\nStrict adherence to certain Islamic tenets prevents the charging or paying of interest.  This prevents proper economic investment and participation in the modern world.\nIt also ensures unending conflict with the perceived cultural flaws with their Jewish and western neighbours.  \n\nThis is the Arab world's great folly, an unwinnable and needless conflict.  \n\nWithout investment, the Arab world relies on one resource, oil, which is controlled by elitist and greedy hypocrites with no real interest in Islam or the economic development of its people.\n\nThe perpetuation of an aggressive patriarchial society forces downtrodden women to remain so and prevents the full utilization of half the Arab workforce, futher rendering their economies uncompetitive.\n\nPride goes before the fall as the Christians say, and the proud Arabs are finding out how their proud adherence to an outmoded belief system (Arab culture in general, not just Islam) is removing them from relevance in teh 21st century.\n\nConsider this:  China has begun outsourcing jobs to Africa.  The next round of economic growth is going to bypass the Arabs again.  How bad is it when Africa's future looks brighter than yours?

The Persian Gulf is a water body in the Middle East.\nCountries with a coastline on the Persian Gulf, called the Persian Gulf States or the Gulf States, are Iran (Persia), United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait and Iraq. These countries are all conservative Muslim countries(both Sunni and Shi'a) and are governed by Islamic(Sharia) laws. Saudi Arabia stands out from the others since it is the birthplace of Islam and its cities Mecca(site of the Hajj or pilgrimage) and Medina are the holiest sites for Muslims worldwide.

Bahrain, officially the Kingdom of Bahrain (Arabic: مملكة البحرين), is a borderless island nation in the Persian Gulf (Southwest Asia/Middle East, Asia). Saudi Arabia lies to the west and is connected to Bahrain by the King Fahd Causeway (officially opened on November 25, 1986), and Qatar is to the south across the Persian Gulf. The Qatar–Bahrain Friendship Bridge, currently being planned, will link Bahrain to Qatar as the longest fixed link in the world-.\n\nBahrain is the smallest, in terms of population, Arab nation in the world, and the smallest Arab member of the United Nations. It is also the least populous country in mainland Asia (but not of Asia overall, because Maldives and Brunei are smaller).
