The Other Opinion
First: to all brothers in the Arab countries … it is impossible to judge if you
are not living the situation … so don’t take positions without knowing the
circumstances of this protest, which is not a revolution, as it reflects a
group of people in Bahrain and not all the people of Bahrain…
Second: “The revolution of the Egyptian youth” was a revolution of youth
with personal opinions, which was not influenced by any party (as opposed
to what’s happening in Bahrain. The opposition is divided into several
entities, each with demands ranging in intensity between the request of
the fall of the Kingdom and calling for a Republic and the claim for reforms
in the politics of Bahrain). Whoever looks deeply into those demands, will
find out how they are changing every now and then, with the opposition
requesting for higher demands.
Third: the disappearance of security in Bahrain. I was continuously
following the Egyptian Revolution and I did not see the Egyptian youth
attacking policemen, blocking streets, calling for civil strikes or causing
chaos in schools and universities. None of them went to the areas of
supporters of the Government system (that is if there were a few of them)
with the intention of provocation!! Let us not forget that for every action
there is a reaction, so it is illogical to play with fire and then blame the fire
for any burns!
Fourth: It is true that the revolution in Egypt affected the tourism sector
in the country, as in Bahrain!! But the paradox here is that protestors
completely refuse the presence of any foreigner in Bahrain, whether for
business or tourism. They intimidate and even attack them, which lead
to the death of one resident yesterday just for being a foreigner!! Didn’t
he have a soul? Doesn’t he have any family? My religion is Islam, which
states that any spirit is created by God, which does not deserve to be killed
without reason! Imagine my fellow Egyptians, Libyans, Tunisian, or other
nationalities to be in a state in which a so called revolution takes place
and you are the one who’s killed intentionally because your roots doesn’t
belong to that country with a view!! What is your reaction!
This protest started illegally. Yes, the protestors did not get an approval
from the Ministry of Interior Affairs as required by law. Yes, they started
the demonstration using Molotov bombs against the police from the first
day. There were casualties. Isn’t there a reaction for every action? Were
they expecting the policemen to stand still in front of those people?
Fifth: Look at the history of these protestors and their violation of human
rights and national identity by burning some Asians in a restaurant, burning
a police car with a policeman inside. Didn’t they continue burning tires
since the nineties to this day? How do you want to police not to take action
when their lives were threatened??? They will say: what about the souls
of the protestors??? Whoever declares that he wants to die and follow
what is being said to him that this process is martyrdom let him accept the
results!!!
Six: When this started, which was allowed by the Crown Prince, to protest
in one of the most important and vital areas with demands of living and
on top of the list was “Naturalization”?? Where is our Islam and our
religion from all this??? Our Prophet (Peace be upon him) that there is
no difference between anyone Arab and non-Arab, white or black, but
by piety. If they do not want these newly naturalized and who proved
that they are grateful and who have maintained the safety and security
throughout the years, then the naturalization of everyone should be
canceled including those who got their nationalities in the fifties, who
immigrated from the villages of Iraq, and some families from Iran and those
who do not know any other land but Bahrain! Will they agree to that?
Seven: Where are the peaceful aspects of their case??? Where is the whole
case?? Wasn’t it an issue of poverty?? Wasn’t it an issue of martyrs?? Go
and see how they turned the GCC roundabout to a “Carnival”??? Sheesha,
food and fun all night!!! Are those people supporting a read cause??? They
didn’t stop there, they even acted as policemen and appointed some of
them at some inspection points searching anyone they desire!!! That’s
not all, they even blocked the streets and open them as they wish!!!! They
didn’t stop there!!! They arranged daily marches that disturbed the traffic
and disrupted the security of the majority of the people who reject the
manifestations of this protest!!! Don’t we have the right to demand for
our freedom, security and safety??? Or the claims are exclusive to them??
Please pay very close attention, we saw the demands from the beginning
and we do not deny that we agreed with some of them … but the quick
escalation that took place in Bahrain’s crisis, showed the hidden intentions.
How can the claims for housing and increase the standard of living change
to the fall of the Government system? This was also demanded through
illegitimate ways. Whoever follows the events will notice the distortion and
lies, partial facts and invasion of the Central Hospital of Bahrain with news
broadcasts from inside the hospital!! Did any of those unethical actions
took place in Egypt or Tunisia? Did any doctor or teacher violate their oath?
Wouldn’t this destroy the country!!
Eight: They went to extremes when they declared the civil disobedience
by not going to schools for teaching, by exclusively providing only the
roundabout people with hospital treatment, by protesting in schools and
kindergartens forcing the kids to shout with slogans they don’t know it’s
alphabetic??? Isn’t it a violation of kids’ rights??? Isn’t it a shame to violate
the sanctity of girls in schools??? Isn’t it a disgrace to violate the sanctity
of the university campus??? Isn’t forcing people to do what they –this
troop- want, a violation of people’s rights??? They –this troop- force us
not to reach work!!! They force us to remain at home! They stole security
and stability for the sake of illusive demands they didn’t even write in an
official declaration!!! What are these demands that make them get out in
rallies seeking the death of the King; disregarding our feelings??? Where
are the legitimate demands??? Excuse me .. there is no way to convince
a sane-man that what this minority troop do is an act of people who love
their country!!! Regardless of all that, their teasing and provocative acts
during the previous period forced us to make civil committees to protect
our dignity and preserve the security in our areas!! Is this fair???
Nine: They want Bahrain to be an elective republic??? Where is their
historical and political education and knowledge??? Didn’t they accept
to pledge allegiance to the king in the year 2001 with a percentage
of 98.4%??? They can’t deny the legitimate measures taken in the
parliamentary council where they are presented by “Ali Salman”; the
chameleon, who didn’t present a single complete file for an issue and
suggestions to change legislations and rules along his membership
period!!! Who among them has an experience to manage a country???
The GCC (Gulf Cooperation Council) economy is connected and Bahrain’s
economy depends on Abu Sa’fah oil well which is owned by Kingdom of
Saudi Arabia to whom we are thankful as it provides us with 80% of this
well’s production! Do they –the opposition- think that if they get the
governance the kingdom, Saudi Arabia would continue to finance Bahrain
with these incomes?? Do you know why it wouldn’t??? Because they are
Iran’s allies!! All their masks have fallen and their intentions have been
revealed!!! We have said our word in the gathering of national unity -and
I didn’t see any neutral TV channel showing this first unique gathering- we
don’t want to be a governorate following Iran!!! And for your information,
we represent a nation and they represent a sect in this nation and if they
want to coexist they have to undergo the demands of the majority and if
they don’t like the regime in Bahrain, then let them choose wherever they
want of God’s large land!!!
Ten: The Peninsula Shield is the only solution to deal with whoever lives a
wildly life which lacks rules; pretending that this way of life is the
freedom!!!! Yes, we don’t want things to reach this far, but who wreaked
havoc in the land, and demanded things that don’t present the whole
nation’s will? Who stole our freedom? Who occupied areas of Bahrain and
forced his own rules? Who doesn’t want peace? Who didn’t listen to the
voice of intellect when the crown prince ordered for calmness and asked
for dialogue that has no roof??? Who continued performing, putting
himself at risk; ignoring all the warnings that the security forces want to
preserve order??? Who attacked the unarmed policemen??? After all that,
they don’t want injuries??? Just to let you know, the procedures taken by
the Kingdom of Bahrain are not so different from those taken by most
developed democratic countries. Did you forget the students’
demonstrations in the United Kingdom?? You blame us for seeking help
from The Peninsula Shield???? And when we use our interior forces, they
throw themselves into doom and show those video tapes in other satellite
channels!!! And to all those who said that The Peninsula Shield Forces are
Foreign Forces, did you forget that we are part of the GCC (Gulf
Cooperation Council)?? Did you forget the famous slogan “our Gulf is one,
and our fate is one”?? Why they didn’t say so when the forces were
involved in liberating Kuwait??? Originally, there are deals ruled by the
union of GCC (Gulf Cooperation Council) and these deals and contracts are
internationally acknowledged, thus these forces are national forces not
foreigners!!! For those who said why the military wasn’t sent to defend
Palestine, I reply and say why those protestors who seek martyrdom didn’t
go to defend Palestine????
i request any one who is interested in helping the Opressed Bahraini (sunnis are SUffering more , cant tell u how much the expats are suffering here )please come to bahrain and Talk to both sides … this request is for human rights alone and not the armies or nato (we want them to stay out of our lives we have seen them cause destruction !! and dont want it in our country !!
