The (royal) fight against homosexuality in Qatar

""Now, another of the Sheikha's more dubious charitable enterprises has come to light. It's al-Aween, which she established as Qatar's first centre to combat "deviation from acceptable social behaviour" and "provide specialised treatment for all kinds of behavioural deviation that require thorough intervention and treatment by specialists". Alongside violence, bullying and drug abuse, al-Aween also applies its specialised "intervention and treatment" to "internet addiction" and homosexuality. "" (thanks "Ibn Rushd")
