Riots have rocked the Arab world for weeks now, and attacks on Western journalists reporting from the midst of the fray have been rampant.

Reporting from Bahrain's Pearl Square in the capital city of Manama today, ABC News Correspondent Miguel Marquez suffered a beating with billy clubs while on the phone with his New York office. According to ABC, a "gang of thugs" pulled Marquez's camera from his hands as he struggled to break free, shouting "Journalist! Journalist!" in an effort to prove he wasn't a protester.

  • @Democraticarabiya474 The Bahraini dialect of Arabic, fucktard.

  • Arabic has what we call a "formal" dialect which is spoken in all formal occasions by ALL arabs. However, slang Arabic has many faces.

    You find Lebanese, Syrians, Palestinians and Jordanians speak a similar dialect.

    Iraqis, Kuwaitis, Saudis, Bahrainis and other countries in the gulf speak a different dialect.

    Egypt has a different dialect than others..but all understand each other.

    Please like this so that people stop with the BS, pointless arguing and focus on WHAT'S REAL: PEOPLE ARE DYING!!!

  • @GhassanTaleb6

    Brother God bless you and we should keep following to make our sound high and let these who are PAID by IRAN even from USA journalist and politicians pay for their FAKE news and changing the truth.. we are ARABS.. true tripe people who all the time will support our leaders in Bahrain (king Hamad), KSA (king Abdullah), Jordan ( UAE (Sh. Khalifa), Kuwait and Oman.. even Qatar.. so we are a people who are made of "LOYALTY" not RED nicks and Yankies who killed millions of Red Indians

  • This Journalist should be taken to the court for his un true words. That round about was "illegal" in the protests that took bahrain to a dark area of Shiaa against Sunni Muslims. The silly comment also about the Royal family of KSA and Bahrain should be kept in mind and we reserve our legal rights to take them to court. Iran paid many to say nonsense on the media. and Mr Marques was in illegal area and police requested to clear it several tie. if he was a "donkey" he should learn in "tough" way
