India is at fault for trusting a Muslim nation.
Well, one thing is for sure, the Indian Navy is orders of magnitude more powerful than anything Qatar has. The Indian Navy is much more powerful than the British Navy, I would expect they are going to come to some kind of agreement.
What is the Indian Navy going to do?
It sounds like Qatar is using the crisis triggered by the Qatar-supported atrocities by Hamas to increase its leverage with India. Anyone doubt that India will roll over on this?
Alternatives?
I told this story before. A student assistant from India said the Hindu versus Muslim animosity in India is real.
One day a group of Muslim men came onto a bus and shot everybody with automatic weapons and set the bus on fire. She said that made the people who heard about it angry. I said “We get angry in the United States, too.” She laughed. “No, I mean angry. Starting a little later groups came up to Muslims in their cars in a bunch of places, pulled them out and beat them to death.”
That’s anger. 😉
I wonder how India would handle it if Qatar said the charges are for “proselytizing” (a charge India is using against Christians in India).
Very interesting, thanks for posting, Nick.
That could very well be the charge, Indian Christians witnessing in Quatar.

Muslims are either at your feet or at your throat.
(Originally said by the English of WW I Germans. But I think the Muslim version is much more applicable.)
My friend radical Muslims whose Sharia Law interprets and applies the Qur'an as ordering Muslims to kill all Jews and "infidels" (those who do not believe as they do basically) don't need any other reason or "case" to behead you or anyone.
BTW, the Qur'an is contradictory. Part of it says don't kill and part of it says kill. The day is coming when the "kill" part is the only thing to which Islamic Jihad will adhere.
This is coming soon. But not yet.
There are centuries old hatreds and rivalries in the entire region that outsiders such as Americans have no insight or understanding. Getting involved in these people’s business and feuds is like walking into a swamp full of quicksand.
Just a head’s up in case it’s useful. My Malwarebytes blocked the linked website, warning of malware. May be true, maybe not.
That's no less true of any other part of the world.
The outlier is Americans whose experience of American society makes them incredibly naive when thinking about foreign countries, and makes it also very hard for foreigners to understand Americans.
To us, they seem irrational and incapable of making a reasonable agreement. To them, we appear weak because we're ready to bargain. We don't understand how others will fight and die over trivialities that are a matter of honor or simply to dominate. They don't understand that if they are incapable of keeping their word and threaten us, we'll stop being nice and simply kill them.
As a country we keep trying to do the right thing, but we're really bad at it.
“BTW, the Qur’an is contradictory. Part of it says don’t kill and part of it says kill. “
I think some of that is lost in translation just like the “Thou shalt not kill” in the Bible.
probably it says don’t murder, but since you cannot murder an infidel it is not contradictory.
Qatari authorities had also arrested or detained two Qatari nationals, including the CEO of Al Dahra Global. But both of them were subsequently released.
Private firm Dahra Global Technologies and Consultancy Services, for which the Indian men worked, was owned by a retired squadron leader of the Royal Oman Air Force, Khamis al-Ajmi, who was among the arrested but was later released.
It must be something else.
“The Indian Navy is much more powerful than the British Navy”
I never thought about that, but, you’re right. India has an impressive military size.
The Quar’an is a kind of narrative that says things like such and so and so is a good idea and this or that is preferable. It doesn’t really COMMAND anything that I know of.
Then Sharia law comes along and codifies the Quar’an.
