Ayatollah Isa Qassim: Two years since the beginning of the revolution in Bahrain & nor a step toward reform
Laudable Stance..

The politics in Bahrain worked on fueling the spirit of sectarianism and creating sectarian divide as well as sectarian clashes especially when the movement for demands and reform began – and this led to turn the conflict from its political nature to sectarian nature. The dispute which was between government and people turned to a popular conflict between two sects as the authority begs the support from one sect at the expanse of the another sect.

There have been voices which benefit from this situation and therefore they supported the authority’s trend which is based on creating hatreds and igniting the fire of sedition and sectarianism as much as it is possible. This trend serves the sectarian divide in more than one Islamic and Arab country and helps the success of this divide which leads these poor countries to devastation.

However, the opposition here was and still is smart, thanks to its laudable, honorable, and blessed stance as it stood stubbornly against this approach and initially maintained the objective of the national Islamic unity. The opposition did not respond to the provocations of the authority and its followers – who were trying to ignite the fire of sedition and turn the course of events from the political track to the sectarian track. The opposition stepped away from everything that serves this destructive goal or any initiative which is about to burn this beloved homeland.

On the other hand, the provocations of the government and its followers tried to target that street of opposition – however, this street was smarter and did not meet any effort made on the path of that destructive goal. The opposition is pious and devout in a way that it does not accept to start a battle with their brothers in religion and homeland – a battle which the two parties will lose for the interest of the third party which wants to harm both of them – while this third party knows that God does not accept this division and this strife.

The stance of this street which was wanted from it to confront their brothers – was honorable, blessed, and deserves appreciation from each one fair monitor. …more
