but those stats must If Qatar is anything like the UAE, it's hard to take any official statistics seriously, especially when they concern demographics, a sensitive subject. Clearly, 95% can't reflect the country as a whole (much as the government would like citizens in particular to believe otherwise). But where would the number 15% come from? Is it an educated guess? I recently saw an estimate that the UAE is 35% Christian, but that seems unlikely.
Also, what do you mean by 'Indian' church? Not having looked into it, I'd guess most Indian Christians are Catholic or Syrian Orthodox, with a sprinkling of various Protestants thrown in.
