Developments in Bahrain: Fighting Ensues

strangely we see nothing from your videos
about the hospital
and yes the king who paid you said Iranians were transporting weapons in hospital from the Iranian ambassy
what a joke !
first how so many Iranians do this job when only ambassy could do
second how Iranian ambassy can enter an hospital?
third since your king said they fake the transport of medics, how could the hospital take medics from Iranian ambassy?

this is too much propaganda with no brain.
ask your king some consulting about lies... give a call to Ahmadinejad: he is the expert.

Look at the ending of the first vid in post 148. you can clearly see the protesters jump into the ambulance. Either they hijacked the ambulance or the ambulance driver is neglecting his duty
 
propaganda! This was a government hospital it had to treat patients regardless of sect or race. A hospital is no place to keep hostages:
again your words don't match at all with reality
the american journalists as showed in articles above they say rioters were having difficulties for treatment because the king gave orders to make a hell to them inside the hospital
your video is showing nothing understandable and i guess is from a national tv since the noise of explanation looks the guy made a video on it
nice comments lol

so the king everyone should believe him?
the journalists there they say bullshit right? the human rights organizations they say bullshit yes? (see my above articles)
so it is what a call a propaganda: everyone is wrong except the king and its militias of foreigners (like you)

Shows how misinformed you are about the events in bahrain this video was shot by one of the protesters. This was before the police conducted its security opposition, as you can see the anti gov protesters have taken over the hospital and its ambulance services. Did you completely missed the hostages being taken out the ambulances? IS that whats meant to be happening in a hospital? Is a hospital a place to hold captive hostages? Obviously one of the protesters who disagreed with the methods being used sent it to the national tv.

ps. look at 0.25 onwards if you still cant see hostages. Peaceful protesters my left nut ... taking hostages are terrorist tactics
 
excellent news,
now Saudis can show how to crush the shias just like they do to their own condemned group in the south
in order to protect islam and show their hatred towards fifthly Persians all Shias must be made to suffer after all they are already much trouble to Israel in the shape of Hizbullah so someone has to stand up to them.
and who better than the Royal Saudis.

excellent news, today the superiority of the Arabs will be established. and who better than the Saudis themselves.
I think Bahrain should also request the help of Taliban and Sipah Sahabah.

This is sarcasim right?
 

Bahrain Unpaid Asian workers face starvation while Pearl square protesters partied

#Lulu #Feb14 During the occupation of the pearl roundabout from the 19th February many Shi’a businessmen in Bahrain showed their support for the protesters by supplying their encampment with prestigious quantities of food and other supplies, produced or sourced by their own companies. While protesters feasted on the freebies offered nightly at the Pearl expatriate Asian workers employed by these companies were left to fend for themselves.

(Facebook Album Last days at the Pearl Login | Facebook )

These workers tell a different story, not one of feasting or of a popcorn revolution but one of deprivation, desperation and despair; one in which wages had not been paid since last December (long before the revolution); it is a tale of the abuse of Asian workers, of starvation and entrapment. All carried out by people who claimed that they represented democratic reform and universal human rights.

Another tale of woe from the same page today

Gulf Daily News » Local News » Volunteers provide emergency rations

Nabeel Rajab President and Maryam Al Khawaja Head of Foreign Relations at the Bahrain Centre for Human Rights, the Bahrain Youth Society for Human Rights, Al Haq activists Hassan Mushaima and Abdul Jalil al-Sangaece, postulate that the demonstrations were about equality and human rights. Yet fail to acknowledge or recognize, even turning a blind eye to the abuses committed by their own Shi’a community against the expatriate workers and other that live within.

For a revolution that procrastinated at the outset about a lack of employment opportunities for the Shi’a youth, it is a bit of a conundrum and even a paradox that some of the biggest Shi’a owned businesses, paymasters of the revolution employ such a high percentage of foreign workers.

The Shi’a Businessmen all claim that they are owed money from the very government they sought to bring down. Yet financed and encouraged the protesters at the Pearl to bring Bahrains commercial activities to a halt. They supported anarchy on the streets, a blockade of Manama; it’s financial and commercial heart. They provided busses and transportation for roaming demonstrators at the various rallies outside government ministries while denying the same services for which they where contacted by the government to others, the transportation of children to School. Often instead transporting school children as young as seven from the Shi’a community to the very same street demonstrations. In all some very serious Rights abuses all encouraged and sanctioned by the representatives of Human rights Societies and opposition leaders here in Bahrain. Media coverage on this issue from the international press and this abuse zero, from international organizations again zero, one has to ask why.

Habib Ali Awachi and Ali Bin Ebrahim Abdul A'al Holding Company both in Sanad a Shi’a strong hold employ between them some five hundred Asian workers, but for the fact that the large Christian community here has been able to provide some support no one is even aware of their plight. Accommodated in a Shi’a area access has been denied to both Government representatives and Sunni Charities thus far to aid and assist these men but for a small article in the local newspaper no one would even know the misery that these men have had to endure daily at the expense of those that claim themselves to be the victim. They partied while poor men staved!!!

This is silly tricks carried out by Shiites in Bahrain . . These tricks have been exposed because those actress are very bad . . only idiots believe this play
:rofl::rofl:

You apparently have no clue what is like when shot with a rubber bullet or bean bags. It can knok you on the ground and/or out cold.
 
right, and?

majority of the population is Shia, so their demands are illegitimate because Iran is a shia country? How demented can one get?

No wonder Indians laugh at our faces when we shed tears for the self determination of Kashmiris.
Israel is a Jewish state so its economic embargo of Gaza is also legitimate right?
Arabian leadership is a sad story of contradictions. One of the worse perpetrators of human rights violations.

I hope that the majority of Bahrian population embraces Wahabi faith so that their demands can get legitimacy and some sympathy from Pakistani and Indian Muslims.

Well, their sympathies won't really make a difference to the situation on the ground. Would it?

And frankly, Muslim on Muslim violence is not really a prime candidate for the "sympathy" in any case!

If at all, it depends on the other affiliations for the most part.

One hopes it was not all that cynical. May be that day will come some time.
 
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.

Lol at the shield forces. this shield force is not against Israel. but against anyone that threatens these British installed monarchies

A little diversion as I have seen this repeated too often by many Pakistanis.

You guys seem to really love the Ottoman rule, even though you were never a part of it. You somehow assume that the Arabs were in the wrong to throw off the yoke and should have stayed loyal to the Turks for some Caliphate.

Do the Arabs share the same emotions? Do they want to go back to the Ottoman rule? Was it really that ideallic? Any idea how those Turkish Sultans treated the non Turk part of their empire?

I ask because I see it to often and I have not seen any indications that the Arabs themselves have any issues with throwing out the Ottomans, yet the Pakistanis seem to mind that a lot.

Is it a case of "Tu kaun main khwamkhah"!
 
Till recently many Pakistanis had not questioned the kinds of ideologies and alliances the Pakistan armed forces had locked Pakistani into - there were jobs in the Gulf, low paying for the most part, but at least there were jobs and the locals were not inclined to do those jobs anyway --- fast forward 30 years, the locals are politically conscious, and find they ar ecitizens of a religious apartheid state, a small minority of Sunni lord over a majority of Shi'ah, to complicate matters, two theocratic states, Arabia of the house of Saud and the Wahabi and the Iran of the Mullahs of Qom, vie for credibility and political alligence, and it's no hold barred - and then are the enforcers of the state, the police, made up primarily of Pakistanis, Yemenis and Omanis (notice the Balouch and Punjab connections, you might conclude that one way or another, they are all connected to Pakistan) and of course the elite of this force were trained by the SSG (do the research) - What happens to the Pakistanis in Arab Mouzlum brotherly Bahrain :


Pakistan workers seek escape after Bahrain attacks
By AFP
Published: March 22, 2011


MANAMA:
Javid Eqbal toiled in Bahrain to earn his family’s living, only to be attacked with swords by alleged Shiite protesters who loathed Pakistanis for being the foot soldiers of the security forces.

Living in fear of being targeted again, and sheltering at the Pakistani Club in Manama, all he wants now is to get his passport back from his local sponsor and to go home, after at least one Pakistani was killed last week.

Like most Asian workers in the Gulf, he had a low-paid job as a painter. And on March 13, he and his flatmates became victims of the intensified clashes between the predominantly Shiite protesters and police.

That night, Eqbal and his flatmates awoke to find youths breaking into their place, brandishing swords, hammers and steel rods. “They started beating us after they found out we were Pakistanis,” said Eqbal, despite telling them that they were labourers, not police.

“They said: ‘You people are here to kill us’,” he said, quoting a youth who left him with injuries to the head, chest and feet, before they torched the place.

Eqbal is hiding at the club along with around 300 Pakistani labourers who for the past week have not dared to stay in their homes or go to work.

Dressed in traditional Pakistani garb, he sat in a community room with some 20 others.

Next to him lay flatmate Mohammed Waqar with a bandaged arm that revealed a hand covered in oily burns ointment. He was too worn out to speak. Eqbal said Waqar, who also had head injuries, was burned when their flat was set ablaze.

“These are simple people earning bread and butter for their families,” said Malik Fiaz, a member of the community who helped to interpret as most workers could not speak English.

“The problem is that Pakistani policemen are put on the front lines” of riot police in clashes with Shiite demonstrators.

“This is not their own choice. This is their job. They have to obey orders,” he said, acknowledging that many Pakistanis serve in the Bahraini police.

Many Pakistanis, as well as Sunni Arabs, have been naturalised in Bahrain, infuriating the Shiite majority which believes that many are given citizenship to tip the demographic balance in the kingdom ruled by the Sunni Al-Khalifa dynasty.

There are reportedly more than 50,000 Pakistanis in Bahrain, many in the police and security services.


“The Pakistani community has suffered more than any other foreign community,” said Fiaz, allegedly at the hands of Shiites who spearheaded a month-long pro-democracy protest that was quashed on Wednesday by security forces.

Mohammed Babar, 27, was also a victim of the attacks targeting his community. His arm in plaster, he said he was hit with a steel rod as some 20 youths attacked a labourers’ residence near the central business district on March 13.

“They want us to leave Bahrain. Pakistani people have jobs in government that they (Bahrainis) think should be theirs,” he said. Most of those terrified workers want to return home.

“Everybody wants to go back to Pakistan… We are scared here,” said Hassan Cheema, a 22-year-old telecommunications worker. Injured workers alleged that they were also denied treatment at Salmaniya central hospital, and that they were beaten by some medical staff who sympathised with protesters.

“They kicked us out because we are Pakistanis. Some hospital staff beat us,” Eqbal charged.

Salmaniya Medical Complex is the country’s largest public sector hospital and has been the focus of conflicting reports of abuse, as authorities claimed that Shiite staff turned the complex into a protest ground, while the international community denounced the storming of the facility by police.

Salmaniya continues to be controlled by the army with masked men vetting all traffic in and out. Former opposition MP Matar Matar, a Shiite, condemned such attacks on workers, saying he was unable to confirm or deny reports that some Shiite youths had assaulted foreign workers.

“Although we are in the midst of a conflict, that does not mean we abandon our values. We respect foreign communities,” said Matar, one of 18 MPs of the Al-Wefaq association to resign last month in protest at the violent repression of protests.

He also said that although many Pakistanis and other foreigners are believed to have obtained Bahraini nationality ahead of time by joining the military, “many have been naturalised for spending the legally required period in Bahrain… and many have made valuable services to Bahrain.

The Al Khalifas got their independence from Iran thanks to the Brits. Ever since that day they have been paranoid that Iran wants to take them over lol. Iran officially retracted all its claims over the Island in the 70s and that actually emboldened the Al Khalifas in a negative way. Now they knew that Iran wants nothing to do with Bahrain so they started blaming all their problems on Iran knowing full well that there will be no reprecussion. This is trully pathetic. But who cares, if the Bahraini people really want freedom from the Khalifa and their bedouin masters up North, they're gonna get it.

All the Iran haters are making an azz of themselves in this thread. Nishan, it's effing obvious that you have no love for Iran and you will use EVERY opp to say smtg stupid and dumb. But know this, the Bahrainis have no reason to live under Sunni rule and they will eventually kick out the khalifa dogs to sandy Arabia with or w/out help from the outside world.

The Pakistani and Indian merceneries also need to go back home and find a halal way to make money. The Bahrainis are showing their civility by not doing what the Libyans did to Ghadhafi's merceneries.
 
Schizophrenia -- Our islamican brigade suffers from it -- Iran's support to Hebzollah, good and glorious in Lebanon, to Hamas in Palestine, but bad in Bahrain? where Shi'ah are a majority?? this from Pakistanis, where Pakistan is the world's second largest Shi'ah country in the world??

Haq? from which one may derive huquq? ----- After all, what is it that these people of Bahrain want?? What's so wrong with it?? What difference does it make if you Shi'ah or Sunni or a damn Martian, so long as you are a citizen??

Hand of Iran? I think a majority of people see the hand of US in this intervention by Saudi Arabia.
