Expat - spend 11 yrs in Bahrain — Sun, 31 Jul 2011 19:52:07 +0000

I am an expatriate spent 11 years in Bahrain. I was holding a very senior position with a private business and had the opportunity of employing both Sunni and Shia. Now bear in mind, personally I was never concerned who it is as long as they are good in their work and more importantly they fit to the needs of the job description. I distinctly observed that Shias when you employ them, most of them don’t come to work regularly, do not respect the timing and worst do not have respect for others in the office.
As to the government of the country, I have travelled extensively all over middle east and believe me, Bahrain is one of the most advanced countries when you talk about human rights and equal opportunity. The government supports all and is not discriminatory. All these are my personal opinion. The Shia’s fighting up a cause is not a major cause that should bring up losses to the state assets in the country.
Remember what ever cause you are fighting for, the bottom line is IT’S your country and YOU DON’T destroy your home for peace within the house.

The Crown Prince should know that the way he was given birth to was the same way all Bahrainis were given birth to. Human rights are natural rights that shouldn’t be tampered with by anyone. Release thise Activist or face global condemnation that will be spearheaded by me.

you have to be kidding!! no one believes scuh nonsense as that anymore. i am a bahraini-american and if i stand on the step0s of the whit house and say bad things about the government, i will not be beaten and arrested!! open your eyes and dont try to continue the propaganda of the government. people are being detained, tortured and killed because they speak out about the oppression that they have been facing for years! this is not something new. bahrain likes to tell the world that this is a sectarian issue, but you and ı know it’s a lie. this is an issue of poverty, lack of human rights, disenfrancisment, unemployment and a lack of dignity given to the people of the country!!by the way, that doctor had every right to treat whoever he wanted. he has a sworn duty to treat anyone who is in need! the last time i checked, helping people was not a crime. oh, sorry, maybe it is in bahrain!!!!

You have to ask yourself why those people detained ??? because they did illegal action in Bahrain. Abduhadi Al khawaja was detained becuase of his speech in pearl roundabout which he used bad words against the king. Doctors like Dr. Nader Diwani (pediatrition) detained because he was going to emergenency section and his duty was in children section. In addition, he was not doing his job (treating children) but he joined demonstrations against the governement inside the hospital.
