Do Shiites hate Saudi Arabia?

They hate Saudi family [Ibn Saud and his progeny] not Saudi Arabia, per se. Shiites hate Wahhabism (the movement of Sunni Islam that has official promotion in Saudi Arabia), not Arab people, because Wahhabism claims that Shiites are deviants from Islam and are a corrupted Jewish sect. This is untrue, since Shiites follow Islam from the time of Prophet Muhammad through his family (the sons and grandsons of his only daughter, Fatimah). Additionally, the Saudi government supports the persecution of Saudi Shiites and the destruction of their mosques.

Yes. For the most part, while both countries are fairly conservative, Saudi Arabia tends to be much more conservative. Both countries are Sunni Muslim, and have large populations of Wahabbis (Strict sect of Sunni Islam). However, Qatar is not as strict as Saudi Arabia when it comes to consumption of alcohol, as it is allowed by owning a permit or purchasing from a hotel bar. In Saudi Arabia, alcohol is allowed nowhere, and there are serious punishments for those who smuggle it. In general, Qatar is somewhat more liberal about certain things then Saudi, but both countries are quite conservative by Western standards.
