Confession of al-Jazeera

Since Egypt, however, Al-Jazeera’s approach has become more complicated. “They did a marvellous job in Egypt and their reporters were very courageous in getting the storyline across but when they shifted to Libya they were campaigning there,” said James Zogby, president of the Arab American Institute. “Then they ducked Bahrain. It was clear there was a politics there that was playing out.”
Al-Jazeera is funded by Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani, the emir of Qatar, and Foukara conceded that this patronage had an effect. Saudi Arabia had “a huge vested interest in Bahrain” and aggressive coverage of unrest and repression in Bahrain could have re-ignited tensions between Qatar and Saudi Arabia.
“What does it mean for the credibility of Al-Jazeera focussing so much on Libya but not on Bahrain? I think it's raising a lot of questions and it’s something that many of us feel kind of uncomfortable with because we want people to say Al-Jazeera has taken the same interest in every story.” Full Story

US Military Bases In Middle East

The vast number of US military bases all over the world are intended to insure US military, political, and economic domination. That’s why there is a huge naval base, for the US 5th fleet, in the monster-kingdom of Bahrain. Will the Navy intervene on the side of the dictator if he is threatened? There is much covert CIA support for our king-dictators in Bahrain, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and the UAE. Last week Admiral Mullins toured all these client states to reassure them, said a Pentagon press release. Does that mean direct US intervention?

Muslim Brotherhood criticized Bahrain Authorities

The Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt on Wednesday called on Bahraini authorities to listen to the demands of the people. It also criticized authorities for painting demands for political and constitutional reform as sectarian issues.
In a statement, the Brotherhood expressed its concerns about the escalation of events and the resulting casualties in Bahrain, saying this escalation "portends grave dangers."
The group called on "the people of Bahrain in all walks of life to get over their differences and to put aside feelings of tribalism, sectarianism and factionalism.”
The Brotherhood also called on the authorities to “adopt the principle of dialogue to resolve problems in a context of Islamic brotherhood, national unity and kinsmanship."
“Popular demands reflect the people’s will and officials must listen to and enforce what is in the public’s best interest," read the statement.
The group warned that turning the political unrest into sectarian issues "would ignite strife, threaten national unity, and provide a pretext for foreign interventions."

1,000 Pakistanis recruited for Bahrain forces

More than 1,000 Pakistanis have been recruited to serve in the Bahrain National Guards, learnt on Sunday.
The recruitment has been made through the military-run Bahria Foundation and Fauji Foundation, which train the selected personnel before sending them to Bahrain.
“We have been asked to recruit 850 people and 150 to 200 others will be inducted through Fauji Foundation,” he said.
“We have facilitated the recruitment with a view to providing employment to Pakistanis,” he added.
America is also following the policy of employment to Americans by invading the other countries. In Afghanistan, the American forces bombard Pakistani territory, they just do their jobs as the employees do.  

Demolition of Bahrain Pearl Square

On Friday, authorities in Bahrain have torn down the statue at the centre of Pearl roundabout in the capital, Manama, where pro-democracy protests were held for weeks.
The concrete statue of six dhow sails holding up a pearl was demolished using drills and diggers on Friday.
On Friday Sheikh Khaled bin Ahmed al-Khalifa, Bahrain's foreign minister, said the demolition of the statue was an effort to erase "bad memories".
(Bad memory? offcourse for the tyrants)
Sheikh Issa Qassim, Bahrain's most influential Shia cleric, said during Friday sermon that Gulf troops would have been better off helping Palestinians in Gaza than entering Bahrain.
The statue that was demolished comprised six sails symbolising each of the six members of the Gulf Cooperation Council, holding up a pearl, symbol of the pearl fishing heritage that was the economic mainstay of the region before the discovery of oil.
"It is a kind of psychological victory for the protesters," said Hussein Oraibi, who works in telecommunications.
"It upset them so much that people were gathering there, they had to go out of their way to pull this down and change the traffic directions." (Agencies)
The protesters had already renamed this 'Pearl Square' to "Martyr's Square."

Mad What?

When Qadhdhafi killed his own people the West and its biased media called him 'Mad Dog'.
So, what they should call to the ruler of Bahrain for killing his country men?
'Mad Swine'......??

Humiliation for Oil

By the Egyptian uprising, America was humiliated as it was by Tunisian revolution.
America was humiliated more in Libya as it had normalised its relation with the dictator Qaddafi few years back.
Now, America is all geared up to be humiliated in Yemen, Bahrain and Saudi Arabia by the people's protests, determined to overthrow its friends, the tyrants, the despots and the dictators.
Already, the Pakistanis are humiliating it after holding its citizen, Davis who shot to death two youths recently, even the judiciary has refused to bail him out.
Already, being humiliated in Afghanistan being unable to capture one old and sick man Osama bin Laden.
The series of humiliation will continue till the American people themselves rise up against the Zionist-backed Oppressive World Order.
Why these humiliations? Is it just for O I L or .......

Bahrain Pearl Square: No Room for Division

Slogans by the Bahraini Protesters.
We’re all Brothers- Sunnis and Shias, This Country is not for Sale-
Not Sunni, Not Shia, Only Bahraini
Not Sunni, Not Shia, only Bahraini Unity!
Not Sunni, not Shia, Our Demand are Legitimate

Slogans sound better in Arabic as they all rhyme but the message is clear:
"There is no room for sectarianism."
All the slogans, posters, banners and chants reaffirm this fact and the reality on the ground at LuLu roundabout and demonstrations testify to that.
So, O the Western Media! The task for you to divide through your propaganda on sectarian line has become very tough.

The Jittery US

The year 2011 is not a good beginning for the US and the Europe alike. The uprising in the Arab countries has left them jittery:
They fear the impact on oil field in Libya.
They fear the impact on peace treaty of Egypt and Israel.
They fear the impact on their military presence in Bahrain.
They fear the impact of losing loyal allies like Yemen, Tunisia, Saudia, Jordan and many countries run by the dictators and puppets.
The so-called champions of democracy are losing their ground and trying to consolidate their influence in many countries.
When the revolution begins, they support the tyrant rulers. Later, when they find the people are on the verge of victory, they verbally support the people.
They consider the masses as fools.
Soon they will know their true position after the democratic setup in these countries (if they are allowed to do so).

Similar Situation for Indian Muslims

For decades, we, the United States embraced corrupt and repressive autocracies across the Middle East, turning a blind eye to torture and repression in part because of fear that the "democratic rabble" might be hostile to us. Far too often, we were both myopic and just plain on the wrong side.

Here in Bahrain, we have been in bed with a minority Sunni elite that has presided over a tolerant, open and economically dynamic country — but it's an elite that is also steeped in corruption, repression and profound discrimination toward the Shiite population. If you parachute into a neighbourhood in Bahrain, you can tell at once whether it is Sunni or Shiite: If it has good roads and sewers and is well maintained, it is Sunni; otherwise, it is Shiite.

Arab world's first Jewish Envoy to the US

Houda Nonoo, Bahrain's Ambassador to the U.S. - believed to be the Arab world's first Jewish envoy, who attends services at The Shul of the Nation's Capital at Lubavitch Center. Joining him were senior representatives of AIPAC, American Jewish Committee, B'nai B'rith International, Anti-Defamation League and other prominent members of the Washington Jewish community."

Bloodier Crackdown in Bahrain

In comparison to Egypt, Tunisia, Yemen and Libya the crackdown in Bahrain will be bloodier, more killing and indefinite fatal injuries due to SHIA factor.
Aljazeerah had a presence in every country mentioned above, but, is found missing in reporting the brutality of the security forces of Bahrain.
The US and UK are trying hard to increase the hatred among the Arabs for them. The so-called champions of human rights are motivating forces for the ruling tyrant family of Bahrain. They forget that the blood of the martyrs never goes waste.

Bahrain on Boil

The Britain divided Arabs into many small countries, that they may rule them easily. In these Arab countries the Monarchs and Dictators were installed with two major purpose; first, that they will be puppet in their hands, second, the sufferers at the hands of these tyrant dictators will solely be the Muslims.
The conditions of these countries i.e. Tunisia, Libya, Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, Oman, Kuwait, Yemen, Iraq and also Pakistan are the best examples. There is a cosmetic democracy in few of these mentioned countries.
In the case of Bahrain, even though it had a Shia majority, the Shias never enjoyed this privilege. The Shias were always discriminated. Iraq and  Bahrain were the countries where the Shias suffered most. The security in Bahrain was always very tight and brutal. The fear of secret police was always on the mind of the people. Any rebellion would be crushed with iron hand. No accountability on abuse of human rights (thousands of civilians are still missing). The British support for the security for the Bahrain King was never questioned.
The House of   Commons always passed resolutions against Iran for few spies and criminals who were convicted by Iranian government, but, the house never brought to the notice to the world the crimes of Bahraini monarch on his people. It received a hefty amount in the name of security. The Bahrainis paid with their lives. Discrimination, Injustice prevailed in Bahrain.
The greatest Injustice is that the brutal police personals are Pakistanis and Afghanis. The Palestinians, Pakistanis, Saudis and non-Shias from other countries were given free citizenship to weaken the Shia majority.
But, now the time has come that the rulers should be ready to leave as Bin Ali of Tunisia and Hosni Mubarak of Egypt have fled, and other tyrants are in waiting. Its a matter of time for their departure.

Really! Mr.Gibbs

The White House spokesman, Robert Gibbs, noted Friday that the Iranian government had clamped down on news media coverage of the events in Egypt, and that it did not permit its own citizens to freely express their opinions. “What you’ve seen in the region is the government of Iran, quite frankly, scared of the will of its people,” Mr. Gibbs said.
Doubts remained about the fate of a separate rally in support of the uprisings, proposed by two leaders of Iran’s opposition movement, Mir Hussein Moussavi, a former prime minister, and Mehdi Karroubi, a former speaker of Parliament.

(full Story)

The spokesman did not see in the region that US puppet regimes, say in Saudi Arabia, UAE, Oman, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, Iraq, Jordan, Morocco, Libya, and Algeria scared of the will of their people?
