Great pics at site, links too. I don't get an administration like this, that gets so much right, yet so much wrong. Sometimes I feel like we're back to 1971. :coffee3:

Massive Muslim Protest in Bahrain Against Terrorism
"As tragic as the recent events in Iraq are, the silver lining is that it has brought to the fore the sectarian tensions in Bahrain and the need to resolve them before the situation gets out of hand. I hope that the civil and political societies make use of this momentum to achieve tangible and permanent changes."

Chan' ad Bahraini on the massive unity protest in Bahrain after the Golden Mosque bombings:
It comes as no surprise that the recent sectarian violence in Iraq would have repercussions here in Bahrain. Both countries have a Shia majority but have been politically dominated by the minority Sunnis; and both countries are now trying to establish themselves as something that looks like a democracy.
Rather than stressing the victimization of the Shia, Shaikh Isa Qassem in his speech highlighted the solidarity between Sunnis and Shias.
And there were lots of people with placards (like the one below) and chanting slogans of "No Shia, no Sunni. All of us denounce the exclusivists(terrorists)"
Chan' ad Bahraini has much more on the significance of this protest.
Montadayat.org has many picutres from the massive protest here and here.
