Mayhem at Bahrain Airport, Silly Bahraini Girl Says. While Mahmood wonders why every issue in Bahrain is politicised and invariably turn to violence? Zainab shows pictures that were not in the newspapers and emoodz says, you simply can’t give an…

hmmm… good question. Let us see:

I am an Arab, and a Muslim like them. I live, work, and sleep under the same sky. I drink the same water, and eat the same food. My kids go to same schools, and my wife’s friends are all Bahraini’s. I use their hospitals, and drive on their roads. I buy my grocery from same shop, and put my money at the same bank. I work side by side with them; we both share same profit and success.

Yes, I am a foreigner. But that does not mean that I don’t care for Bahrain and its people. Bahrain is my HOME now. Do I care? Yes I do.

do you want to tell that YOU a forigner care about bahrain more than those locals? ohhhhh get over yourself.

I respect your call for non-violent demonstrations and I fully support you in that. I further advocate that if there is something to be done about an arrest, a better way is to exert all political and judicial procedures to secure a release, rather than invite mob riots (both from the demonstrators and the police) in a confined space as an airport. I am really surprised that there was more restraint from the police side on this because I can guarantee you that should a demonstration like this happened in any European or North American country you can be assured that much more force would have been used to remove the protesters.

Doing this at the airport is the height of irresponsibility. Just consider how many people coming to Bahrain at that time, the busiest time period at the airport, just will not come back to Bahrain and will refuse to invest or recommend it for investment.

There are times and places for things, and what happened last night was incitement to confrontation and violence no matter how you look at it. Bad form, very very bad form.

I just want to stress a fact. I don’t write much about Bahrain, because I respect all the political spectrum in the country, and intend to remain so.

The above post is not criticizing the background of any side, but the results of it, which I don’t think anyone would like to see in his country or any other country.

Violence is a quick recipe for chaos. And chaos is the bed for failure. I don’t like to see Bahrain going that direction. No matter who is right and who is wrong.

Peace!

Thats a problem, if you are interested in knowing what happened and you want to be able to write about what happened then maybe you should have that interest and you should dig deeper.

Maybe if you knew why the guy was arrested, and how that made many Bahrainis feel, then you would know why they hurried to the airport for a peaceful protest.

Anyways, I must admit that I am more used to seeing this kind of writing on other blogs and not this one, that is why I am surprised. Your blog is one of the best thats why I always expect you to look at things from both perspectives.

On the other hand, I don’t think arrival hall at any airport in the world is the right place for demonstrations. Peaceful or violent. Therefore, I’m not judging the crowd or the police; everyone has his own justification version of the story. But at the end, what was the result? This is what concerns me. The damage in properties as well the image of the country. Now how did this happen? I don’t think the police brought the crowed inside the airport, did they? So, if it was meant to be peaceful, maybe they could have selected a better place, maybe a public square.

It is really surprising that you are not concerned whether or not the police are wrong. They are armed, and they are more powerful and they represent the state. you dont even think its any of your business what they do. However you are ready to judge the protesters from an article in a Bahraini newspaper.
