The diplomatic crisis gripping the energy-rich country of Qatar will enter its second year on June 5. Its people follow an ultraconservative form of Islam known as Wahhabism, though unlike neighboring Saudi Arabia, women can drive and foreigners can drink alcohol. They say the crisis stems from Qatar's support for extremist groups in the region, charges denied by Doha. More recently, the U.S. has been urging the boycotting nations, namely Saudi Arabia, to resolve the crisis. One Qatari exile has suggested a "bloodless coup" to replace Doha's leadership, while Saudi Arabia has promoted little-known Qatari ruling family members.
