The government uses Sunni law as the basis of its criminal and civil
regulations. Some religious tolerance is granted. Foreign nationals are free
to affiliate with their faiths other than Islam, e.g. Christianity, Hinduism,
Sikhism, Buddhism, Jainism and Bahai, as long as they are religious in private
and do not offend 'public order' or 'morality'.
In March 2008, a Roman Catholic church, Our Lady of the Rosary, was
consecrated in Doha. No missionaries were allowed in the community. The church
will have no bells, crosses or other Christian symbols on it and its premises.
