		<description>Ibn..

To become a Bahraini, you would need to have some good self deprecating humor, you would need to have a good heart, a healthy dose of humility, and an innate ability to see the funny side of everything and a very healthy disdain for power, (whilst still acknowleding those who have it).

You would need to be able to deal with your very liberal friends, but be able to handle your very conservative parents/aunts and uncles. You would be able to navigate around a very schizophrenic environment and feel totally at home.

You would need to be able to drive on the weekend and see the Saudis trash your country but feel that you are somewhat proud that Bahrain can offer them a place to breathe and let their hair down. 

Errm .. what else? Yeah .. you would need to have a healthy appetitie for gossip, except you would call it information sharing .. and you would have to be able to have a conversation with someone that involves english, arabic, some urdu and some persian without ever stopping to think that it might be strange.

You would be able to interact with all the brearded ones and the burqa&#039;s ones and know stories about them that would betray their so called commitment to God .. and you would find it amusing that everyone wants a job in that little room somewhere where they go through appropriate and inappropriate videos to watch .. 

Thats what you need to have a Bahraini soul.. a solid understanding of what it means to live in the middle of contradictions .. love it .. and be very comfortable with it .. 

Dunno about what you need to get a Bahraini passport though ...</description>

		<description>Moahmood, I am not against what he said %100 &amp; I am not a person who believe in dividing the people of this country ! Both sides of the nation is at the wrong, though ! But for the love of god the person who he spoke about just wrote a book about elections ! And you know how things are over here you get paid for such things ! Is that a crime now ? he claimed that she is a part of a sleeper cell and that she get paid a hefty sum every month which I doubt ! About the dress thing I am sorry if I offended people with that comment ! I take it back ! Still though I&#039;ll hold to my opinion about the whole situation (there is something fishy about the guy) !</description>
