| [Iran Press TV] Bahraini holy mans have hailed the endeavors made by anti-government protesters who resist the Al Khalifah regime's heavy crackdown on dissent, saying their struggle to save their religion has just started. "The battle for the defense of religion is not over, it has just started," the Bahraini holy mans said in a statement released on Friday, adding that Islam and their Persian Gulf island country needed those who would "sacrifice" their lives for this cause. The statement came three days after the Al Khalifah regime launched a full-scale military raid on the northwestern village of Diraz, situated some 12 kilometers west of the capital Manama, to suppress a growing protest staged in solidarity with the top holy man, Sheikh Isa Qassim, the spiritual leader of Bahrain's Shia majority. During the raid in Diraz, Qassim's hometown, regime forces killed at least five demonstrators, maimed dozens and placed in durance vile Youse'll never take me alive coppers!... [BANG!]... Ow!...
