LuLu's Bahrain: Al-Wefaq's Lost Compass

http://lulubahrain.blogspot.com/2007/12/al-wefaqs-lost-compass.html

Political diaries of a pearl diver. أكد الشيخ علي سلمان في خطبته بجامع الإمام الصادق في الدراز أمس، أن «الانفلات الأمني لا يخدم المصلحين، بل يخدم من لا يؤمن بمنهج الإصلاح، ويخدم طبقة لاتزال قوية ومتنفذة وسيزيد نفوذها بالانفلات الأمني، وسيحقق لها مكاسب استراتيجية عاشت عليها عقوداً وستكون سعيدة بأن يعود. So where do we go from here? People in this country have never been so disillusioned. I hope we get over this leadership crisis soon. Dec 30, 2007, 2:47:00 PM. Only God knows where we can go from here....

LuLu's Bahrain: We're a million: Math 101

http://lulubahrain.blogspot.com/2007/12/were-million-math-101.html

Political diaries of a pearl diver. We're a million: Math 101. So recently the government made an interesting non-announcement in parliament. Apparently, according to a statement by the Central [dis]Informatics Organization (CIO) to parliament, Bahrain's population finally reached a million. Now, setting aside the question as to why we remain in the dark when it comes to official statistical figures of the CIO, something just doesn't add up. If we go back to 2001, the official statistics were as follows:.

LuLu's Bahrain: Who killed Ali Jassim?

http://lulubahrain.blogspot.com/2007/12/who-killed-ali-jassim.html

Political diaries of a pearl diver. Who killed Ali Jassim? I have to say that I tried my best to stay away from this issue, simply because as everyone else, I don't know all the facts. I don't know if tear gas can kill a person, and I don't really know if it was police brutality that killed Ali Jassim Makki. On 10 December 2005, Al-Wasat reported this about Ali Jassim:. This is really sad to read. Sometimes I wonder where we are heading or regressing to- especially as I've been away for 10 years. I total...

LuLu's Bahrain: Secular Deamons

http://lulubahrain.blogspot.com/2007/07/secular-deamons.html

Political diaries of a pearl diver. So this has been the new "big thing "in Bahrain for the past couple of weeks. Shaikh Essa Qasem, head of the "Olama" Islamic Council. Had given a Friday sermon. At Al-Sadiq mosque in Duraz 2 weeks ago in which he deamonized "seculars" and "secularism" as enemies of Islam and of the people of Bahrain. "Down with the seculars! That followed, Shaikh Qassim continued to accuse the "seculars" of waging a war on Islam and called upon his followers to fight the "deamon.".

LuLu's Bahrain: Rule of Law?

http://lulubahrain.blogspot.com/2007/06/rule-of-law.html

Political diaries of a pearl diver. Now the same person has decided to pull another antic. Why should the villager be fishing on "his" shore? And why bother with a professional fishing license and what not? Surely powerful people can exploit marine resources themselves? Our man announced today that he will. Abide by the law, if everyone else does. whatever than means? What next…… Block the Sun from the Village because it’s passing through his property first. Jun 12, 2007, 9:06:00 AM. There will be Minist...
