Thousands in Bahrain Protest against 'Torture'
2013-05-11
[An Nahar] Thousands of partisans of Bahrain's opposition demonstrated near Manama on Friday to protest against the alleged torture of tossed in the slammer
Drop the gat, Rocky, or you're a dead 'un!
regime opponents, witnesses said.

Gathered around the Shiite village of Daih, men and women waved Bahrain's national flag and held up signs that read: "Manama, capital of torture," the witnesses said.

"Torture is a practice rooted in the security agencies," in Bahrain, the main Shiite opposition bloc Al-Wefaq said in a statement.

It charged that a tug-of-war is underway in Sunni-ruled Bahrain between "a political majority demanding a democratic transition and a hard core dictatorship that refuses any change."

#4  Meh to do this write you gotten think like a Wolfe.

O'lost, O'Shia of my youth from the dark mountains. Sired by bastards from Norwich and laid waste to the fertile lands of tomatoes and fine onions of yesteryear.
O'lost, my checkbook, thank Gawd? No! The Dark Mountains call me home to the cruel winter of bitchery and thin soup.

#2  That schtuff ain't religion-specific, O Failed Writer of Purple-Ish Prose.

Black Hole of Calcutta? Andersonville? Granada, Colorado? Lubyanka Square?

Remember the Bastille?

Nah, you wouldn't, you wannabe-Hemingway.

See I can write like this too. Only I got enough smarts to know this crap ain't confined to "Moslems".

#1  And as soon as the Shias have a political domination everything will suddenly become sweetness and light?

Savak may be gone in Iran but you know what its still like downstairs in the cells. No big surprises. Moslems are like that.

Or in Iraq. Saddam may be gone but downstairs...you don't want to go down there. The Shias don't feed you in the cells and they may just not come back or turn the lights on until the roaches finish with you.

Save Praise Allah...the Beneficent and the Compassionate. Hiummahimma.
