The French shall eat as one, says Marine Le Pen

[Inseriousity.]

Language is different, this thread is specifically about food (I actually agree about the language, it is in their best interest to learn the language). If restaurants have started selling ONLY halal meat, according to your previous arguments, that their's private business and their right to do so. If you don't like that then don't go! It shouldn't 'other' people if schools serve non-pork because they are still obeying the laws, they are still just getting on with their life.

As for politicians, we've recently had a budget that is specifically targeted at older people because older people vote more so no I do not think they would pander to a minority vote when they need the support of the majority to get elected in the first place.

Hence I said "often do not impose"


and "tough Sharia laws" (meaning you can still be sentenced for offences such as blasphemy, rape, murder along with petty offences and if you search up a bit there is a proposal for abolishing death sentences for nonmuslims)

Importing drugs, alcohol, pornography, pork products and religious books and material into Qatar is illegal.

So it should be legal to import drugs? Is this what you call bending backs for minorities? which minority is demanding this

It is an offence to drink alcohol or be drunk in public. Alcohol is available at licensed hotel restaurants and bars, and expatriates living in Qatar can obtain alcohol on a permit system. Don’t carry alcohol around with you (except to take it on the day of collection from the warehouse to your home)

Again, not a big deal. Consuming alcohol in public is illegal in many countries which are non-Islamic and similarly sale of alcohols at licensed restaurants isn't exactly a tough law

The sale of alcohol in Brunei is prohibited. Non-Muslims over 17 years of age may import duty free two bottles of wine or spirits and twelve cans of beer on entry into Brunei, but must declare them to the customs authorities on arrival.

and in some cases will apply to non-Muslims.

Literally proved my point.

Homosexual behaviour is illegal in Qatar.

Wrong. Same sex activity in case of females is legal, source is the link you gave me.

Also

Wearing a bikini, swimming suit or swimming trunks are only permitted on beaches, and it is illegal to go topless or wear a thong

Emiratis have been known for their religious tolerance, and churches, Hindu temples, Sikh Gurdwara can be found alongside mosques.

Also, Malaysia doesn't impose Shariah laws on non-muslims (chinese, indians)

And all National schools here sell pork-free/halal meals although some schools do offer various Chinese and Indian foods only if they're certified Halal or they know that they're pork free (nuts) but that's very rare and they mostly sell typical Malaysian foods which is fine for us. If you're a Muslim student studying at independent Chinese and Tamil schools then you'd have to bring your own food if you don't like what they're serving, however, there are Malays who sell foods at independent schools but again, that's rare
