Inside Story - Saudi intervention in Bahrain

The world's eyes on threatening white clouds billowing over damaged nuclear plants in Japan, but at another point of crisis a continent away Saudi-led troops cross the border into their Gulf neighbour Bahrain. Is the core of sectarian divide about to be exposed? And could the fallout become regional?

Free the Sunnis in Iran! Support the oppressed religious minorities in Iran. Bring down the terrorist regime in Iran. Long live the Baluch, Arab, Kurds, and Turkmens in Iran.

Illogical question. They are not atheists, they are violent Shiite religious nut jobs.

He is the king... I am not... he is neither my ally or enemy... if he is killing my enemies, that is fine with me, I don't live there...

I would actually be willing solve the king's problem for him if he paid me sufficiently.

@fspilot221 You are not of faith I see, had you been you would understand that Saudi Arabia follows the laws of the Quran which can be hard for people not of faith since they do not believe that in sacrifice, we will gain prosperity in the life to come. Also, how dare you even use the word Insha'allah right after using profanity; that further attests to your "good faith" and ability to look into the hearts of the monarchy.

@abumaram200Under Saddam Hussein, Iraq had adhered to the OPEC quota limit but he was about to opt out and go it alone raising Iraq's total out put to 6 million barrels a day. This extra crude would flood world petroleum markets, OPEC would devolve into mass cheating and overproduction, oil prices would fall over a cliff, and Saudi Arabia—both economically and po litically—would fall to its knees.

Once the west wakes up that piss hole will come down.

@fspilot221 hmmm you are totally right lol, i re read it and what you said , its not offensive ! i apologise sincerely !!!! I originally when this first video came out made a comment that got like 50+ thumbs up but it was eventually removed by al jazeera !!!! In the end what can you do ? its the modern world we live in, and truth being said, alot of so called "Muslims" are far far from it and i would rather have peace with Israel, at least they dont behead poeple in public and claim its judaism

[fspilot221]

@TheHussle I coppied this from a site about a book written by a Shi'a in which he explained why there is so much hate against Shia. copy and paste it into google, then you'll see for yourself. you probably didn't understand the text in my comment well, it actually says only enemies of Islam hate Shi'a islam and therefore cause division and secterianism. I'm neither muslim nor islamophobe, and I'm not against shi'a, One of my best friends is shi'a. lol

Did you see the first "protestor"? He wasn't even Bahraini! He was a Pakistani shiite. Patriotic Bahrainis love Saudi Arabia and the government of Bahrain.
