hey all….this is not true to say it’s racism, because this artist is presenting the opinion of his personal, not all people whether to be Qatari or non Qatari.

The main purpose of these cartoons is to present a status in here and it is not proving any opinion with or against any personality, and as we say, our fingers is not the same, there will always among any nation the good, the bad, the best and the worst.

I hope u all take my view in sense and to look at the positive side

In addition for being offensive, it’s very poor from the artistic aspect. No fun at all! I wonder if there’re caricaturists who’re non-caricaturists at all!
