Confession of al-Jazeera
Since Egypt, however, Al-Jazeera’s approach has become more complicated. “They did a marvellous job in Egypt and their reporters were very courageous in getting the storyline across but when they shifted to Libya they were campaigning there,” said James Zogby, president of the Arab American Institute. “Then they ducked Bahrain. It was clear there was a politics there that was playing out.”
Al-Jazeera is funded by Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani, the emir of Qatar, and Foukara conceded that this patronage had an effect. Saudi Arabia had “a huge vested interest in Bahrain” and aggressive coverage of unrest and repression in Bahrain could have re-ignited tensions between Qatar and Saudi Arabia.
“What does it mean for the credibility of Al-Jazeera focussing so much on Libya but not on Bahrain? I think it's raising a lot of questions and it’s something that many of us feel kind of uncomfortable with because we want people to say Al-Jazeera has taken the same interest in every story.” Full Story

There's no Business like WAR Business
Lies, hypocrisy and hidden agendas. This is what United States President Barack Obama did not dwell on when explaining his Libya doctrine to America and the world. The mind boggles with so many black holes engulfing this splendid little war that is not a war (a "time-limited, scope-limited military action", as per the White House) - compounded with the inability of progressive thinking to condemn, at the same time, the ruthlessness of the Muammar Gaddafi regime and the Anglo-French-American "humanitarian" bombing.

US Military Bases In Middle East
The vast number of US military bases all over the world are intended to insure US military, political, and economic domination. That’s why there is a huge naval base, for the US 5th fleet, in the monster-kingdom of Bahrain. Will the Navy intervene on the side of the dictator if he is threatened? There is much covert CIA support for our king-dictators in Bahrain, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and the UAE. Last week Admiral Mullins toured all these client states to reassure them, said a Pentagon press release. Does that mean direct US intervention?

Wahhabi Cleric of Egypt Dreams of Presidency
A group of internet users have created a Facebook page supporting prominent Salafi (Wahhabi) cleric Mohamed Hassan for presidency.
The 50-year-old influential preacher had maintained an apolitical stance during ousted President Hosni Mubarak’s rule and sometimes advocated anti-Christian sentiments, especially when the regime’s relation to the Orthodox Church deteriorated. Hassan has never criticized Mubarak, arguing that it’s religiously forbidden to oppose the ruler.

Muslim Brotherhood criticized Bahrain Authorities
The Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt on Wednesday called on Bahraini authorities to listen to the demands of the people. It also criticized authorities for painting demands for political and constitutional reform as sectarian issues.
In a statement, the Brotherhood expressed its concerns about the escalation of events and the resulting casualties in Bahrain, saying this escalation "portends grave dangers."
The group called on "the people of Bahrain in all walks of life to get over their differences and to put aside feelings of tribalism, sectarianism and factionalism.”
The Brotherhood also called on the authorities to “adopt the principle of dialogue to resolve problems in a context of Islamic brotherhood, national unity and kinsmanship."
“Popular demands reflect the people’s will and officials must listen to and enforce what is in the public’s best interest," read the statement.
The group warned that turning the political unrest into sectarian issues "would ignite strife, threaten national unity, and provide a pretext for foreign interventions."

How Israel Fears Hizbullah

1,000 Pakistanis recruited for Bahrain forces
More than 1,000 Pakistanis have been recruited to serve in the Bahrain National Guards, learnt on Sunday.
The recruitment has been made through the military-run Bahria Foundation and Fauji Foundation, which train the selected personnel before sending them to Bahrain.
“We have been asked to recruit 850 people and 150 to 200 others will be inducted through Fauji Foundation,” he said.
“We have facilitated the recruitment with a view to providing employment to Pakistanis,” he added.
America is also following the policy of employment to Americans by invading the other countries. In Afghanistan, the American forces bombard Pakistani territory, they just do their jobs as the employees do.

Demolition of Bahrain Pearl Square
On Friday, authorities in Bahrain have torn down the statue at the centre of Pearl roundabout in the capital, Manama, where pro-democracy protests were held for weeks.
The concrete statue of six dhow sails holding up a pearl was demolished using drills and diggers on Friday.
On Friday Sheikh Khaled bin Ahmed al-Khalifa, Bahrain's foreign minister, said the demolition of the statue was an effort to erase "bad memories".
(Bad memory? offcourse for the tyrants)
Sheikh Issa Qassim, Bahrain's most influential Shia cleric, said during Friday sermon that Gulf troops would have been better off helping Palestinians in Gaza than entering Bahrain.
The statue that was demolished comprised six sails symbolising each of the six members of the Gulf Cooperation Council, holding up a pearl, symbol of the pearl fishing heritage that was the economic mainstay of the region before the discovery of oil.
"It is a kind of psychological victory for the protesters," said Hussein Oraibi, who works in telecommunications.
"It upset them so much that people were gathering there, they had to go out of their way to pull this down and change the traffic directions." (Agencies)
The protesters had already renamed this 'Pearl Square' to "Martyr's Square."

Mad What?
When Qadhdhafi killed his own people the West and its biased media called him 'Mad Dog'.
So, what they should call to the ruler of Bahrain for killing his country men?
'Mad Swine'......??

America's "New World disOrder"
Every single day in the Middle East is a bad day for America and its allies.
George W Bush, the stupidest president in the democratic world history had coined the phrase "New World Order" which has now become a joke.
Nothing is going in their favour, on the International arena and as well as in the domestic setup.
Wikileaks was a huge blow on the hypocritic face of United State's foreign policy followed by uprising in the Arab countries. The Arabs have called Enough is Enough and have ejected the stooges of America one by one, and, the process is on.
The once supposed to be powerful Israel is in panic. The countdown for the puppet regimes supported by US has begun.
Japan, one of the staunchest ally of US has suffered by the hands of the mother nature.
Now the time has come for strategic partners of this so-called world power to rethink on their foreign policies and be independent in their thoughts and dealings with the Middle Eastern countries.
The time as changed. There is no more the 'New World Order' for America.
It is now a complete disORDER for its planning and policies. Bullying to the developing and weak nations is coming to an end.

Natural Gas Mubarak to Israel
Gamal and Alaa Mubarak, the two sons of former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, received hundreds of millions of dollars in "commissions" from the sale of Egyptian natural gas to Israel, the Kuwaiti newspaper Al-Jarida reported yesterday.
Egypt supplied about 40% of Israel's natural gas, which is used to produce about 20% of Israel's electricity. While, the Gazans live in the darkness and under siege.

Humiliation for Oil
By the Egyptian uprising, America was humiliated as it was by Tunisian revolution.
America was humiliated more in Libya as it had normalised its relation with the dictator Qaddafi few years back.
Now, America is all geared up to be humiliated in Yemen, Bahrain and Saudi Arabia by the people's protests, determined to overthrow its friends, the tyrants, the despots and the dictators.
Already, the Pakistanis are humiliating it after holding its citizen, Davis who shot to death two youths recently, even the judiciary has refused to bail him out.
Already, being humiliated in Afghanistan being unable to capture one old and sick man Osama bin Laden.
The series of humiliation will continue till the American people themselves rise up against the Zionist-backed Oppressive World Order.
Why these humiliations? Is it just for O I L or .......

Ways of the Tyrants
Protesters stormed inside at least six of the buildings, including the agency's main headquarters in Cairo's northern Nasr City neighborhood, confronting officers face-to-face and attacking some in a surreal reversal of roles.
"We are inside, hundreds of us," Mohammed Abdel-Fattah, one of the protesters who barged into the Nasr City compound on Saturday, said in a telephone interview. "We are fetching documents and we are looking for detainees."
Cries of "Allahu akbar," or "God is great," could be heard in the background, as one of the protesters found a file with Mubarak's name on it.
Around 2,500 people swept into the compound, according to the state news agency.
Abdel-Fattah said they barged in from the back doors, and the military, which had cordoned off the building, couldn't stop them. They scoured the building for official documents, many of which were already shredded in huge piles in what they believe was an attempt to hide evidence incriminating senior officials in abuses.
Some also searched the building for secret detention rooms. Others prayed in the compound's mosque.....Read Complete story
