Bahraini Shias protest articles on their religious practices
By: Ali Al-Qadumi
MANAMA, Bahrain: Protesting newspaper articles deemed insulting to
Bahrain’s top Shia cleric and Shia religious practices in general,
more than 12,000 people marched Thursday in this tiny Sunni-ruled Shia-majority
Gulf country.
The demonstrators marched along the highway just outside the capital
of Manama, chanting slogans in support of the cleric, Sheik Isa Qassim.
No violence was reported during the two-hour protest.
The articles have been published over the past two weeks in the Al-Watan
daily and hardliners opposed to Shia-Sunni brethren unity are thought
to be behind them.

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
