Pro Democracy protests in Bahrain | News & Discussions

Those Bahrainis who attacked Pakistanis are hypocrites. They are fighting for freedom, yet they take away the freedom from other people.

May Allah have his way with them.

This thread would be much more convincing if it was not created by Assad's supporter.

Wasn't Bahrainian govt importing soldiers from Pakistan to put down the revolts ? So technically Pakistanis were attacking Bahrainians too and the Bahrainians just responded .

Wasn't Bahrainian givt importing soldiers from Pakistan to put down the revolts ? So gtechnically Pakistanis were attacking Bahrainians too and the Bahrainians just responded .

not exactly ,they didn't import Pakistan soldiers.
but because of how Ale-Khaliphe acted in previous years there is
a resentment against Pakistani workers in Bahrain that honestly I
believe targeted at the wrong people .here the Pakistani worker at
Bahrain are not to be blamed but when the people become frustrated
then you can see some people who act a little irrational .

the problem in Bahrain is not with monarchy or religion difference ,the
problem comes from some social issue ,the problem is that the majority
of Bahrain people are Shia but they are barred from higher jobs in country
and they can't advance in security works and military . but those are the
exact jobs that Bahrain government is willing to give to non shia foreigner which
among them Pakistanis are more pronounced because their numbers are
far more than other nationals.

here the problem is two matter one lack of Equality between Bahrain Citizens and
the 2nd is that the people don't trust the prime minister any more and for some reason
the king of Bahrain is not willing to change him to appease the people.

Attacking innocent Pakistanis just because the government of one's country is supporting/aiding the reigme of theirs?

Doesn't sound good. It doesn't sound right.

Neither of these two things sound right .

Yes, but the people of Bahrain are the one who are fighting freedom. If they commit the same acts they are fighting against, then Allah knows what their faith will be.

They become hypocrites.

There is reaction to every action buddy .

apart from that how do we know how many Bahrainians supported such actions against Pakistanis ? Maybe they were just some fringe elements .

Thanks for the detailed reply and explanation . The extra knowledge i gained is valuable and much appreciated .

However for the bold part , this is also true -

Foundation linked to the Pakistani army has been providing Bahrain thousands of soldiers for its crackdown on protests.

people get emotional....and sometimes people apply double standards

i think its VERY condemnation-worthy that bahrain govt. ordered destruction of these mosques.


the sectarian issues in Bahrain are very deep....not because of ideology but because of politics. Bahrain govt. assumes that 70% of its population are Iranian agents or something like that. What a mess!


in actuality and whether we like it or not (Gaddafi once pointed this out) -- majority of Bahraini peoples are Iranian....but that's a whole other subject.

You cannot use quran as a "book-shield", you are just using as a ploy to inflame passion and garner support, nothing else.
Why would you take religious book to a demonstration, and hold it high above your head?

This cannot be compared to quran burning in afganistan, as they should have been more careful.

 

[Abu Zolfiqar]

oh and by the way -- media in Muslim countries probably didnt report Bahraini thing because they didnt want to annoy Bahrain government......(Pak media did cover it somewhat, however)..


and western media -- well, the US Navy's Fifth Fleet/NAVCENT is docked there. You really think they'll allow western coverage on the issue to reach a ''discomforting'' level


even Al Jazeera didnt cover it the way they covered Libya/Egypt/Yemen/Tunisia

they were civilians....number of them did have prior work as police or as soldiers

and they werent doing it on behalf of the govt. of Pakistan -- they were doing it as individuals looking for a job that probably payed very well.....


and in some of the cases, the Bahraini protestors were WAYYY out of line. In any country they'd have been shot. The killings in Bahrain however good number of those killed (protestors, doctors, etc.) were non-aggressives.

Something really funny i saw on this thread,the ones who hate Syrians government from bottom of their heart and support the uprising there are the same ones who are bashing Bahraini protesters and support it's regime.

in actuality and whether we like it or not (Gaddafi once pointed this out) -- majority of Bahraini peoples are Iranian....but that's a whole other subject.

I'm sorry,no offense but that's very stupid.They are Arabs and just because they are Shias,their corrupt king and leaders assign them as Iranians so that they find excuse to suppress them more and more.And seriously are you quoting from Gaddafi?That's the least stupid of his words.

No one's bashing anyone.

Bahraini and Syrian people both deserve their freedoms, but when any of those groups of people apply double standards, than that gets worrying.

Also, If I'm correct, aren't you one of the many Iranians who support the Assad regime, but don't support the Bahrain regime?

 

[Sina]

@RayKalm

If Assad is overthrown, who/what will replace him?

1- A democratic government?
2- A pro Israeli dic like the rest of Arab regimes?


THAT's what Iran is mostly concerned about. But some people here pretend they don't understand.

Bahrain will b free, they will be free from that tyrant government! InshaAllah!
