The ignorance of people about Qatar is quite alarming. Qatar is a much much safer place than the US mind you, so you don't have to worry about safety at all. As for women being forced to wear Hijab, i suggest you go to Doha for one day and come back and tell me how many women wear Hijab, sure the locals most of them wear Hijab, but like the UAE the majority of Qatar's population are foreigners, there are as much laws about wearing Hijab in Doha as there are in Las Vegas.
