March 14, 2008 may see the inauguration of St. Mary's, the first Catholic church in Qatar. An Anglican church, a Coptic church, and a Greek Orthodox church are in the planning stages for the same area. There is some contention from the Arabic populace about the construction, but the former chair of the University of Qatar's Islamic law department welcomes the turn of events. Abdul Hamid al-Ansari states that "places of worship for various religions is a fundamental human right guaranteed by Islam".
