I still haven't quite grasped the geography of Qatar, but would you say Shi'a tend to be concentrated in one area or are spread more or less randomly?Justin Genglerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07926253352423304711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8391958287808959571.post-91717209915206123342011-03-28T15:17:24.129+03:002011-03-28T15:17:24.129+03:00Hi Justin,

Here is a partial list of Qatari Shiaa families: Alfardan, Alkhalaf, Salalt, Alhaddad, Alsaffar, Aldehneem, Al Najjar, Al Haidar, Al Mousawi, Alyousef, Al Majed, Al Bukshaishah, Albouhlaiqah, Mashhadee, Lari (please note there are also Sunni families from Al Najjar and Al Yousef).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8391958287808959571.post-22798851270983545422011-03-26T19:03:11.166+03:002011-03-26T19:03:11.166+03:00Thanks for your comments.

How big is the Shi'a community would you say?Justin Genglerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07926253352423304711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8391958287808959571.post-22087173996818090082011-03-26T15:52:16.864+03:002011-03-26T15:52:16.864+03:00I have come across your blog through a retweet!

So whether you like it or not you are on tweeter, my advice is start tweeting yourself. <br /><br />Your work is commendable and i thank you for providing an unbiased view. I wish your work could be translated into Arabic so that the Gulf locals can benefit as well. I am disappointed (but not surprized!) to see that there is a biased reporting in the Arabic Aljazeera compared to what is being reported in the English Aljazeera when it comes to report on Bahrain. <br /><br />For the record I am a Qatari Shiaa.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
