The situation in Bahrian!
 

Some of you might hear that there is protesting in Bahrain. and what happened in Egypt will happen in Bahrain.

Well, Bahrain is different. Bahrain is a small country in the GCC, were 50% of there people don't want the government and and the other 50% are loyal to the king and the government.

There is around 1000 or 2000 people now protesting in a round-bound in the middle of the country with a unrealistic demands.

I just want all the world to know. that Bahrain is different than Egypt, we live here a good life. the royal family made for us the best schools and hospitals and best facilities.

SOO IF ANY BODY IN BAHRAIN THAT DON'T APPRECIATE IT, LET HIM GET OUT OF THE COUNTRY, and we will scarify with our life's for our KING.

I hope everything goes well for you and your country... I don't think it will ever get as bad as Egypt.

Last night, I drove by protesters by the airport and it didn't seem so bad. It actually felt like a party.

Protestors in Hawaii? Man all those SuperFerry haters can EAD!

As for Bahrain seems like the whole area is going nuts after Egypt.

How are things today?

Stay safe, friend! I hope everything works out for the best and the people get their way. :tup:

Bahrian is a country of have and have nots. Either you are loyal to the monarchy and puppet to his govt and get the rewards, or you are a non-Bahrian laborer doing the country's hardwork without equal rights, no chance at citizenship, and constant ridicule by its citizens.

Count me in for the protesters.. I am for equal rights, freedom of speech and trying to better a society through voting and electing people who can make a difference. That's a democratic society.

Been there, and other Arab monarchies, and to tell you the truth, it looks great from the outside, but I wouldn't want to live there.

Justgonna play devil's advocate with this. First, nobody forced non Bahrians to go there. They came there looking for better conditions and pay than the country they left. Nobody is forcing them to stay either. Second Bahrian is a monarchy not a democracy so those freedoms are granted or denied by the king technically it's his country and people live there because he allows it. Kinda like living in "my house, My rules". Our freedoms are granted by a document signed by people who are long dead. And our freedoms are expanded and restricted by any judge with a case in front of him "judicial review". They are not perfect and neither are we, but it's their way of life and not ours to demand or control.

I'm actually in Bahrain ^_^

I've been directed to not leave my hotel @_@

That sucks. Stay safe!

Read my signature.

Get home soon

Mr. Sucassa i am a Bahraini, and when i say bahraini!! i mean that i am ORIGINALY Bahraini!! Most of the people here are LOYAL to the royal Family!! and those who are not!! they are protesting not because they want more rights or freedom!! these people protest because of a hidden goals. they want Bahrain to be part of IRAN and follow Shia law and constitution!!

Well if you dont live Here then you dont know anything about bahrain!! in every country there are problems and some people suffering .. even in the US.

but the people behind the protesting got hidden goals!!

those people are loyal to other countries like IRAN!! NO BODY FORCED THEM TO COME TO BAHRAIN!! IF YOU DONT LIKE IT GET OUT!! WE HAVE AN AIRPORT!!

From 95 bahrain is suffering from these people, burning tires and throw them in the middle of the streets. make people affraid.. all these people got encourged from bastards who are living out side the country and they dont have gutts to come over here!!!

THIS is BAHRAIN AND WE ARE LOYAL TO OUR KING HIS MAJISTY HAMAD BIN SALMAN AL KHALIFA, AND WE WILL SACRIFY WITH OUR SOULS FOR OUR KING!!

So please dont listen to the media that saying ---> people protesting is the majority!! this is a game the media playing!!

BAHRAIN is not like egypt!! and will never be... and we will remain with AL KHALIFA system all our life and if any body dont like it ---> the airport in MUHARRAQ!

Well you definitely know more about what is going on than we do. Stay safe and we wish you the best!

thax :)

another thing, today the police men tried to seperate the protesting that is in LULU Roundbound (lulu square ..heh) but unfortunatly the protester didnt listen to the their warning ( they gave them more than one warning). so they went and forced them to seperate!!

After seperating them, the poilice men found weapons ( am talking about gunz, pistols, knifes.... etc) all was hidden by those protesters!!

after an hour the armny with their H1 Hummers went down to the streets to secure the capital ( MANAMA)

tomorow after friday prayer .. we will all participate in the biggest protesting that will show all the world that we are loyal to the king and goverment.

PLEASE Guyz keep in your mind and spread it, those who are protested calling for more rights or want to change the system, those bunch of guyz was encourged by outsiders. and those are only 2 to 5% from bahrain. and all bahrainis are supporters to the Goverment and king..

thanx

Wow...stay safe man. I've personally seen enough protests turn into riots. It can get ugly.

Be safe tomorrow! Thanks for sharing your point of view with us.

I hope it all can come to a peaceful resolution quickly, so you all can enjoy the F1 Grand Prix in a few weeks!

Thanks for sharing with us. Stay safe and I hope it all works out.

I have very little knowledge of Bahrain and its customs so take my opinions with a grain of salt.

Democracy has its flaws, but so does a monarchy. Saying "if you don't like it, leave" is a bit on the ignorant side. They have a just as much "right" to call that country home as you do, be it a democracy or monarchy. Loyalty to your king is admirable, but so is fighting for your freedoms or beliefs. A society without a voice leads to tyranny and oppression. Violence is not the answer, especially when a protestors are involved. It doesn't matter if it's one man or 1 million. It doesn't matter if they have pistols, knives or a broadsword. It doesn't matter if they were influenced by "outsider". It doesn't matter if its 0.1% 2%, 5% etc. Everyone on this planet has every right to speak freely without consequences even if you hate them. Having a belief is not a crime. So long as any government has the ability to persecute or punish someone based on their belief, no one is truly free. I understand that there are inherent differences between Bahrain & the US, but we also have a lot in common. I'd like to think that what makes us human is universal.

Bahrain is an important ally to the US and vital strategically to the war in Afghanistan. If the monarchy falls, Iranian influence and control is inevitable. Lets hope that is not the case and this all ends peacefully.

I hope whatever works out best for the majority of the people of Bahrain is what works out.

But telling Americans about loyalty to a King is pointless. We don't, and won't, and can't, get it.

We rebelled from our King as colonists and decided to elect our ******** rather than worship whosever's grandfather cut off someone's head and took a castle 300 years ago.

today was a very bad day for us, while we were in Peaceful protesting to show the world that the majority in Bahrain are Loyal to the king, all of the sudden we received msgs that we have to go home. because their was clashes between the oppisition and the army that secured al LULU Square.

imagine 200 000 of men, women, kids and family and expats went out and celebrated to show the world that we are happy with the royal family, and suddenly the oppision went out with weapons to scare us but we lucky that the army was there to protect us.

anyways the army secured the area again. and i went back home at 12 night. because i couldnt drive to my house earlier!!

:( Bahrain is a very peaceful country, i have allot of american, indian and chinese friends, they are now considering leaving the country because of what happend :(

am realy sad

Things seem to be getting serious. Its too bad people have to die. If they aren't citizens, I don't think they have a right to complain though. Its kind of like when the Mexican immigrants in America demand rights from us, and most Americans thought it was ridiculous.

:iagree:

I hope things settle down quickly, jdmlove. Stay safe!

Not to mention there is a Grand Prix scheduled in Bahrain in March. Get this stuff settled already!

This is what we all worrying about!! the grand prix!! those people choose these days to protest because of the successful events we have!!

:mad:

the country is going mad!!

ahhhh... hope all goes well man! i'm still here in Bahrain with ya =)

tomorow (21-Feb-2011) at 7:15pm. we will protest against the oppissition!! all from al Fateh Mosk in Juffair!! and want all expats to join us!! So definitionX please join us!!

we will show the world that Bahrainis are loyal to their king, and if someone dont like it... let him get out!

prepare your camera!! and let show the world what is the real thing!

This has been cancelled.....SO.....if all is well in Bahrain as you say........then why was the F1 event cancelled??? Just sayin.........

Much of the Middle East and North Africa is erupting in protest. Every day, another nation has protests. Protests all the way over in China too.

It's incredible... I've never seen anything like it.

All of a sudden, the whole Middle and Far Eastern world is screaming for Democracy.

:iagree:

well, the crown prince canceled the grand prix because he don't want to take the risk, if something went wrong!!

the opposition protesting here, are not protesting in a civilized way!! if they do, they wouldn't cancel the F1!!

am wondering why do they protest in a country that have one of the best circuits in the worlds :S :S

Why are the countries uprising-turning against the leaders? Why so many at once/the same time?

So..... what does this have to do with the 370?

It has nothing to do with the 370z, just a General discussion.

how are things now? All the news over here is on Libya.

well, the opposition still Demonstrating in the round-abound, the crown prince called them for dialog to solve this, but they still didnt go cause they dont know what they want!!

everything else is ok, umm the economy is going down little bit!!

capitals are running away :(

Thinking of living in UAE :rolleyes:
