The details of everything that happened during the 11 nights and 12 days I spent in a Qatari jail for allegedly insulting Islam!
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.
All about that which happened, which I really didn't expect to happen, but had feared might happen!
In this post, I would like to share two communications that we all can learn from. The first is a comment left on the change.org petition by a former student of mine, and the second a response to that comment. A number of individuals took great risks and displayed great courage participating in the campaign…
The timeline of my ordeal in Qatar following a complaint logged by the parent of a twelve-year old student based on the child's version of an incident in the cafeteria of Qatar Academy. I was fired and subsequently jailed but freed following an international campaign.
A word of gratitude.
