The opposition is holding “I Love Bahrain/I Love Democracy”
marches across Bahrain today. The anti-government protests enter its second
anniversary this month. Earlier this week, government forces used tear gas to
disperse large protests touched off by the death of an 8-year boy during an
earlier protest march. There are no reports of violence in today’s peaceful
march.

The Shieks must come to terms with the grievances of the Bahraini people, preferably before the whole thing turns into an armed conflict as it did in other Arab countries.
ReplyDeleteLove those people. Wish them all the best!
ReplyDeleteI think our love to them is because they are crying for democracy!! BUT THIS love will be snatched from them once they demand their religion to GUIDE THEM!.
DeleteThese people need to go back to Iran....there they will find true democracy!!!
DeleteI don't see them for democracy.Democracy is a long term process.Democracy is secular with equal rights for both sexes.Democracy means no Sharia law and the right to worship under any religion or to be atheist without being imprisoned tortured or killed.
ReplyDeleteUnder any Islamic government there can't be real democracy.Islam has issues with democracy.People will say Turkey is a democracy,but I disagree because their ruling party is based on the principles of Islam and that ideology is not democratic but rigid and confrontational.No democracy should be constrained into a strait-jacket and that strait-jacket is the Islamic ideology,be it Sunni or Shiite.
AND the devil cheers democracy too! because it is in a democracy that HE GAINS WEIGHT AND becomes obese!!
DeleteNo doubt B.M.A you live in an democracy somewhere in the West.
DeleteIslamic ideology is full of it self.
