Bahraini Shiite leader criticizes reconciliation talks
By: Ali Al-Qadumi
MANAMA, Bahrain: Bahraini top cleric Sheikh Isa Qassim
has slated on Friday reconciliation talks between the Shiite-led
opposition and the kingdom's rulers while accusing the monarchy of
using the US-supported dialogue to delay democratic reforms.
He was delivering a sermon Friday in the opposition stronghold of
Diraz, northwest of the capital city of Manama.
He said the government-organized talks, which started last week, are
meaningless since they don't take into account the urgency of the
people's demand for change.
"The people sacrifice so much for reform, and they (the rulers) talk
about the need for gradual change," the cleric said. "They want to
give reform in small doses while inflicting massive injustice."

"Knowledge is
better than wealth because it protects you while you have to
guard wealth. it decreases if you keep on spending it but the
more you make use of knowledge ,the more it increases . what you
get through wealth disappears as soon as wealth disappears but
what you achieve through knowledge will remain even after you."MORE
