Re: Bahrain protests
I think Iconoclast logic is completely impaired. Iconoclast writes that:
King is providing Bahrainis good living.
Question is that, from where King is getting resources to provide Bahrainis anything? From own pocket or it is national wealth? If it is National wealth, what it is, than King is providing nothing. What little he is giving to Bahrainis, it is their own wealth. Rather, what King is not giving to Bahrainis and spending on himself and his cronies are stolen wealth of Bahrainis. Actual question should arise that what King is doing that he is enjoying luxurious life more than average Bahrainis? Can he justify his own luxurious living?
Worse is that, King has used Bahraini resources, resources that Bahrainis deserve, to employ non-Bahrainis to suppress Bahrainis. Actually, this criminal King is not only employing outsiders to suppress Bahrainis but is giving them nationality so that he can create his own slaves in Bahrain through whom he could suppress Bahrainis.
Now coming to, if what is happening in Bahrain is sectarian uprising or uprising by people for their deserving right.
Well, if it is sectarian uprising in Bahrain than why same is happening in Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Oman, Egypt, Libya, Tunisia, and Jordan? If what is happening in Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Oman, Egypt, Libya, Tunisia, and Jordan is nothing to do with sectarian uprising, then why Bahrain uprising is getting labelled as sectarian? In my opinion, it is Thug King of Bahrain and his cronies who would like to portray uprising by people for their right as Shia-sectarian uprising so that these thugs can suppress people in the name of Shia-Sunni sectarian divide, expecting sympathy from Sunnis all over the world. Fact is that it is these thugs who spread sectarian violence and sectarian divide just to exploit people and rule.
Anyhow, even if Bahrain uprising has something to do with sectarianism (that I do not think is the case), then also, it shows that there is exploitation going on in Bahrain in the name of sectarianism, where minority sect (Sunni) is ruling and exploiting majority sect (Shia) without consent of majority sect (Shia), something unacceptable just like if Shia minority anywhere start ruling Sunni majority without consent.
For instance, I would not like to see Shia, Deobandi, Wahabi or any group of minority (exploiters) start ruling Pakistan without consent of majority, that is, not though election but through force (as happening in Bahrain and many other Arab countries ... where selfish thugs as group, with fancy names as King or dictators, are ruling and exploiting majority). If that would happen, that a minority sect or a group starts ruling Pakistan using force, then I would have right to stage uprising and protest against such rule. Actually, fact is that, I would not even like Beralvi majority ruling Pakistan using force and without consent of people, and if that would happen, I would still like to stage uprising and protest against such rule.
