why is it a Shia uprising? why Egypt and Libyan uprising is not branded on the bases of sectarianism? Iranian regime has its own problem of handling the protests where it brutally suppressed the reformist protests so blaming it over Bahrain is unfair and insult to the people of Bahrain.
why are members of this forum talking the language of the US media and Western governments? The Western media is painting it as an Iranian inspired revolt against the sunni royal family. This as ironic as the western portrayal of the Iraqi Kurds as good Kurds and the Turkish Kurds as bad Kurds. The protestors are not against the royals that were installed by the British after breaking the Ottoman empire, but they are against he oppression, suppression and injustice and want more freedom. Same protests are happening at different scales in Kuwait and Saudia too.
Are these all middle east protests not against the oppression and injustice against the rulers? The Bahrain protesters are as much Arabs as Tunisian, Saudis, Kuwaitis and Egyptians and deserve the same respect one is willing to give to a human being.
I would request new posters not to keep bring in the sectarian element.
Justifying the crackdown because the protesters share the faith of Iranians that is loathed and hated by the Saudi and Bahrain royals is nothing but bigotry. When same justification is used in punishing Palestinians and Kashmiris we all shed crocodile tears and blow a lot of hot air criticising the “human rights” violations committed by Indian and Israeli occupation forces.
Lets just pray and hope that there is a quick and peaceful conclusion to these unrests because it is the innocents that suffer.
The Peninsula Shield forces arrived to Bahrain
Saudi Arabia + Qatar + UAE + Kuwait + Oman
Lol at the shield forces. this shield force is not against Israel. but against anyone that threatens these British installed monarchies
