CHE GUEVARA in Doha: ignorance, lack of cultural sensitivity or both?

Ghost of Che Guevara is alive and well in Doha, Qatar.

Almost every day in Doha, one can see stickers with the face of famous “revolutionary” plastered on car windows. Fashion? Ignorance? Lack of cultural sensitivity? I guess the answer is all of the above...

How on Earth did this character became an idol of Doha youth? Who imports and sells these stickers? Do they have any idea who this moron was and what does he represent???

Fashion?

Give me a break.

A leader of a Communist bandit gang, best friend of Castro, person who would enter the village and immediately shoot all people of religion for being “contra-revolution” ??? Granted, he didn't kill many Moslems, but, believe me, he would've had he had a chance! He did attempt to lounch a "revolution" in Algeir if memory serves me well...

Nevertheless, his ideology did both prosecute and kill every person who believed in God, and in Eastern Europe, yes, that includes Moslems!

What do they think?? (youths plastering Che's face on their vehicle's windshields). Do they even bother reading history and finding out who this person was? Or does he, all bearded and filthy, looks to them like some Afghan Fighter? I almost feel like stopping one of them and asking!!!

I saw two cars today that made me write this (although, my hate for Che and everything Communist runs much deeper, of course).

First one, pickup truck, had a big “Allah” sticker on one side, and even bigger “Che Guevara” face on the other side of the back window. So – word of God, and a face of Communist god-denying preast-killing murderer on the same window!!!! It's kinda like having Palestinian flag and a face of Arial Sharon, right???

Other car I saw today was even worse, not Che, although it falls into the same category of ignorant stupidity – ragged car, driven by an Arab expatriate, had a HUGE sign, written all across windshield, “HITLER”. Must've stricken a note for killing all them Jews, right? I can only imagine the horror of German expatriates seeing that one!!!

So, pls. people, can you please do some thinking before you put a sticker on your car? Please? This. Hurts.
