The Revolution Of Manama And The Secret Saudi War Against The Shiites

By: Marwan Arikat Shiite Muslims Comprises More Than Half Of The Population Of Bahrain. However, They Are Considered Second Class Citizens. Even Though, Religious Affiliation Is Not The Top Reason Young People Are Taking To the Streets In Manama And Other Bahraini Cities; The Saudi Support For The Brutal Crackdown Of The Bahraini Security Forces, Proves That Saudi Arabia Is Worried That The Events In Bahrain, Which Is Geographically Close To Saudi Arabia, Might Spread And trigger Instability In The Eastern Province Of Saudi Arabia, Which Is Predominantly inhabited by Shiites. Moreover, There Are Some circulating Rumors That Saudi Special Forces, Are Providing Military And Tactical Support To The Bahraini Army And Police Forces to combat the demonstrations. On The Other Hand, The Saudi Meddling In Bahraini Affairs Has Fired-back, And According To Reuters, "Saudi Shi'ites have held a small protest in the kingdom's oil-producing eastern province, close to Gulf Arab neighbour Bahrain where unrest has cost six lives, local Shi'ite sources said on Saturday. They said a group of Shi'ites staged a protest on Thursday in the town of Awwamiya, near the Saudi Shi'ite centre of Qatif on the Gulf coast, to demand the release of fellow Shi'ites held in prison without trial.Top OPEC exporter Saudi Arabia fears that unrest in Bahrain, where majority Shi'ites are protesting against the Sunni government, might spread to its Shi'ite minority who mostly live in the eastern province, the source of Saudi oil wealth." Saudi Arabia Has Been Acting As A Pariah State And a Source Of Instability In Th Region, Since It Involved Its Troops To Fight The Houthi Shiite Rebels On Behalf Of The Corrupt Yemeni Government In Sann'a, And The Saudi Army Changed The Course Of The Battle, By Using He Hightech Weapons Supplied By The US Against The Lightly Armed Houthi Rebels, Who Were Defeating The Yemeni Army, By Using Guerilla Style Fighting. In Lebanon, Saudi Arabia Tried To Impose Its Will On The Lebanese People, To Push For The Disarmament Of The Resistence Groups In Southen Lebanon, who Happen To Be Shiites. Lastly But Not Least, The Wikileaks Exposed How Saudi Arabia Was The Lead Proponent Of A US Military Action Against Iran. I Think The Saudi Hostile Policy Toward Iran (the Protector Of The Shiites) Is Foolish And Misguided, Because Iran Is Not Bahrain Or Yemen. Iran Is A regional Superpower That Constitues A Threat To The All Mighty US Troops In The Persian Gulf And The State Of Isreal. Thus, Saudi Arabia Is Small Potatoes To the Islamic Repuplic Of Iran, And Iran Does Not Need To Fight Saudi Arabia In Order To Destiblize The Saudi Royal Family. All Iran Needs To Do Is To Incite The Shiite Population In The Saudi Oil Rich Eastern Province Against The Saudi Royal Regime. Consequently, It Will Be A Good Lesson For The Saudi Ruling Famlly To Avoid Antagonizing The Iranian Regime, Which Is More Resourceful Than The Saudi Leadership And Is Capable Of Setting The Collapse Of The Saudi Regime In Motion.
